Two Polish Lowland Sheepdog brothers in Italy - now about to head to France
Sunday, 25 January 2009
My suggestion is a walk,breakfast and a game.
A cold morning so made porridge for breakfast -the boyz arrived in the kitchen with an air of expectancy and put on their best 'adorable but I've never been fed' look. Oats give them an excellent natural start to the day but goodness what a mess they make when eating it!
2004 - We sell the farm in Scotland and move to the warmth of southern Europe. 2 lively Polish Lowland Sheepdogs - Wilf and Digby - our patient and comical companions. After a year in Provence we head to Italy to restore a hilltop Roman watchtower . Following an unpleasant 'housejacking' in late 2009 we set off for new adventures in South West Franceto get to grips with a large and exceedingly rickety old farmhouse. Empty nesters life after the violence of Italy has a gentler tempo. Digby passed on from piroplasmosis in May 2010. HIs brother, despite being diagnosed with cancer and having become blind ,soldiered on for another two years. Bob and Sophie joined us in 2013. Bob passed on in 2019. Sophie enjoyed the fresh air in Scotland after we returned in late 2022 but ran ahead in the summer of 23. This blog records all those little things about living with dogs that are too unimportant to make it into a diary but which make life, life.
