A little flower

Oliver Sweeney, founder of Oliver Sweeney shoe stores, and Daisy, a Staffordshire bull terrier
Oliver Sweeney and Daisy

“I bought Daisy from some really good friends of mine in Devon, where we live. I fell in love with their dog so when she had puppies I just had to have one. Daisy is now four years old and very, very sociable and talkative.

She always has to introduce herself to new people because she is very nosey and likes to know what’s going on. I take her to the office where she is thoroughly spoilt by the rest of the team, they treat her with cuddles, attention and left over biscuits.

She is a loyal and very good friend, and luckily for me she has never shown a fondness for chewing shoes. One thing Daisy has shown an interest in is swimming, she’s really good at it!

My life would certainly be less entertaining and far too quiet without her. Although I might take that back the next time I’m trying to concentrate and she’s yelping at me to let her out in to the garden.

Daisy is so much fun and she gives me a great reason for walks in the country. It’s wonderful to get out in the fresh air and I find it one of the best ways of clearing my head and finding inspiration for my new shoe collections.”
