Time for a quick nap after the earthquake
Routine becomes ever more important to a dog the older he gets. This morning at 3.32 exactly Wilf was woken ( as was I ) by strong earth tremors. He came racing up the stairs into the bedroom to alert us to the fact that all was not as it should be. Thankfully, the earthquake was about 100 miles away to the east of Rome but the aftershocks kept coming through the night.It seems that as many as 13 people have been killed. After the horrid novelty of nighttime tremors both dog and owners are a little tired this morning. Digby snored through the entire process.
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.
