Polish Lowland Sheepdog - the grumpy look.
Have just rescued the builders who have been the centre of Wilfs ball playing attention for the last twenty minutes. I think it quite possible that he would play ball all day if given the chance. The look on his face in the top ( and now I look afresh at it the bottom ) photo tells you all you need to know about his views on having his game interrupted. Is it possible for dogs to frown? The weather forecast for next week calls for rain on Monday so this may be the last time we see the workmen for a week or so which will be a great disappointment for the boyz. Both of us have been down with a bug that has dragged on and on for over a week . Tired, feverish and burning eyes. We've googled to see if there are any flu strains that match this but it doesn't seem that there are. Has anyone else gone down with something like this or is it local to here?
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.
