Two Polish Lowland Sheepdog brothers in Italy - now about to head to France
Sunday, 5 July 2009
Hot,humid and thundery.
The two boyz are not happy - it's the third day of unseasonal hot,humid and thundery weather. Not an ideal climate to be kitted out with a double layer thick fur coat. Digby's photo ( the second one ) says it all. Thankfully, the font of all knowledge has returned from France ( where the weather was gallingly perfect ) and is currently on a let's get reacquainted walk up the hill with the two troubadors.
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.
