Lamb Biryani.




15 days since we had the results of the scan and the old fellow is still happily playing away, eating voraciously and barking heartily at the post lady. Perhaps his movements are a little slower each day but he's pain free and enjoying life. Digby, Wilfs little brother, passed away so quickly with piroplasmosis that we never had a chance to spoil him. We wanted to give him special meals and treats but his appetite just disappeared overnight. With Wilf its different. He now gets a small taster of whatever it is we're having to eat mixed in with his kibbles. This meets with an inordinately high degree of canine approval. Last night it was Lamb Biryani and a post dinner look from Wilf that said 'this is what lifes all about ! '.

In the window of an art store a nineteenth century etching of a puppy. The title roughly translated - ' Don't bother me '. Somehow the artist has managed to get the puppy look of defiance just right.

    How does your Mum keep your lovely, sweet face so clean?
    I am such a naughty boy when I see the face cloth!
    Loving the photo of sheer culinary delight on that gorgeous face of yours.
    Sweet Wilf, enjoy your days packed full of simple pleasures.

  9. We prefer to think of it as giving him some extra love - just keep on spoiling him in any way you can. 15days - that is wonderful.

  12. I'm so happy that you have time to shower Wilf with love, treats, and fancy meals. Lamb Biryani - wow. My dogs' tummies would not be able to handle that but they don't have the experience that Wilf does.

    I agree about the etching. The eyes are absolutely perfect. I've seen that look in R's eyes many many times.

  15. Stealing away a few minutes at work to check on you;
    15 days...Mirabile Dictu!
    Goes to show that, indeed, we know "neither the time nor the day"
    You keep on going strong Wilfee; you are in our thoughts always.

    I think I may cook Lamb Biryani for dinner and BB will get a taste.

  16. I regret that we never saw Edward as a puppy. We adopted him when he was almost one. I look at PON puppy photographs and see what he might have looked like. Off course, as you well know, these guys never quite lose their puppyhoods.

    I am so happy that Wilf is relishing these days. May they keep coming!

  23. What a wonderful gourmet meal for Wilf! It sure sounds like he enjoyed it (I would enjoy it!). I am glad you are getting to spoil Wilf - the old print sounds cute; the translation/title is perfectly wonderful!

  27. I always breathe a sigh of relief each day I visit and Wilf is still with us. I'm so glad you have this opportunity to spoil him.

    I love that drawing and the name of it fits perfectly!

  28. Having never seen a PON puppy, I thought the puppy picture was Wilf! He seems to have his own defiance of medical prognosis. Rock on, Wilfee! and eat, enjoy, be merry...

  29. Got just a moment on the computer(remember we have no internet here yet) Am so glad Wilf is being properly spoiled!!!! Miracles do happen. You are seeing one methinks. I would love to be able to hug the wilf, give him a scritch! though you may not hear from us often, we are holding Wilf and all of y'all in our hearts. Party on dude! Enjoy each moment-as we should whether we think we are leaving or not, hu?
    God Bless You

  30. Had the luxury of reading your last 6 posts. I have 2 old dogs. what we seem to take for granted is the joy of each day with them no matter what their age. sadly some live very short lives. Just makes one realize none of us or our dogs are guaranteed any time but this moment. Old dogs. They have been teaching us all their lives, and speed up those lessons when they become older. It is really quite amazing. T
    Through the blogoshphere we all learn from others. Such as 2 PONS brothers in France.
    Thank heaven for our dogs.
    Hugs from Texas
