Christmas sunshine .




Out for a long walk in the warm Christmas sunshine . The weather forecast says the maximum temperature will be a chilly seven degrees but come late morning we've discarded our jumpers and are strolling along in shirt sleeves . Wilf sauntering , nose down , through the grass verges by our side. Nothing will hurry him . The old fellow unaware of the timetable imposed by ' the fonts' organizational chart . Finally amid much laughter he's lifted , muddy pawed , into the back of the car and driven home .

Present opening time . At the pop of the champagne cork Wilf bounds up the stairs . Family sheepdog front and centre . Each parcel carefully examined by a large black nose. Wilf lives in hope that one of these packages will contain a string of freshly cooked sausages . This old boy knows how to be happy . Party animal Wilf. For one family in France their very own , small, white , canine Christmas miracle . Unexpected gifts are the best .

  7. I agree! Having so many fabulous days of grace has been an amazing blessing, and I think you need a dog to make a house a home!

  13. Love Wilf's smiling face...optimism at the thought of a sausage, or just happy in general.

    SHE was rugged up for the morning walk that was 15 C....talk about opposites.

  15. Coming at you very late in the evening Boxing Day, delighted that each and every present was thoroughly inspected, and rightfully so. You just never know what could be in a wrapped up treasure. Could Wilf look any happier in the pics today? Keep on going Wilf!

    With love from your Canadian pals,
    Dianna along with Tor, Willow and Tucker

  18. Angus,

    I'm know your best present on Christmas Day was the sight of one happy PON surrounded by your family and love - far better than anaything that money can ever buy.

    Wilf looks so happy in your photos.
