Birthday treats
Polish Lowland owners beware. When it goes quiet you know something is up. The boyz went quiet for an hour this morning. We assumed they were having a post walk nap in the sunshine. No way. When I went out to check the two little darlings were down with the builders doing their cute "I've never had anything to eat " routine.The builders , who bring their breakfast with them, had fallen for it. Both boyz have shared the workmens jam sandwiches, sausage and pastrami. That doesn't auger well for their digestion!
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.
