Two Polish Lowland Sheepdog brothers in Italy - now about to head to France

Back from London with a boyz toy from Harrods
Found time last night to go to the new pet store on the fourth floor of Harrods. The previous pet store was a rather pokey little corner situated beyond the furthermost reaches of the garden department. Now , the pet department has expanded and has a bijoux location and oodles of space. There is even a pet bakery with all sorts of organic treats for your pooch at prices that are close to stratospheric! The boyz got a large floppy yellow monkey that squeaks all for the grand total of £6.95. Wilf has already been introduced to it and is sitting at the top of the stairs with the strange vibrantly coloured toy firmly controlled between his front paws.
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.
