Spending all he can .



Angus comes back to France leaving ' the font ' and family to follow on later . To say Wilf was happy to see me would be an understatement . Ten minutes of sitting cross legged in the courtyard with a PON in my lap .

A very tough night . Later today I'll have to decide whether it was the interruption to his routine or a repeat of last weeks flare up .

Time is free , but it's priceless.
You can't own it , but you can use it.
You can't keep it , but you can spend it .

  1. Sorry to hear that Wilf had a bad night. Hopefully, it was due to all the excitement and he's back to his routine today.

  4. The three comments we can see pretty much say it all. Here's hoping the next post is 'just' another contented day in the life of a much loved Pon.

  5. Oh dear I've just seen the farmhouse blog . For you to make those plans tells me everything I feared about the timing . I hope and pray that you can hold on until 'the font ' and family make it back to be with him one last time. I'm cheered up just a little by the fact that we can now expect a travelogue full of the dry Angus wit about us Americans and our strange three months in advance eating habits . We will miss him so much. Love and prayers Betsy and the MacRaws in Sacramento. xxx

  9. We had those up and down days with Lilac, too. I hope he bounces back with the return of his flock and his routine!

  10. Better to leave this world having spent the lot than to have wasted some of it.

  11. I knew Wilf would be thrilled when you came home. It must have been fun holding a polar bear for ten minutes. I would love to be able to do that.

    I am praying that the tough night you and Wilf had will turn into another wonderful day, it has before, just need more time with Wilf.

    Love and big hugs to Wilf.

  12. Ten Minutes with a PON in your lap...WHO wouldn't spend an undetermined amount of $$ to have the pleasure of that gift?...PURE unadulterated bliss served in heaping furry amounts of canine loyalty and love... To be missed and cherished by a small polar bear..You are a blessed man indeed...a HUG for Wilf...coming from an endless supply as long as he will remain to accept one!!

  13. So in hopes he feels a bit better tonight.
    Those reunions are so sweet, aren't they?
    Thinking of you both.

  14. I know his time is short but the title is so apt - spending as much as he can. Be well in all ways, Wilf and family.

  15. an old vet told me once about a little dog i had that had separation anxiety and i've never forgotten it... "you have to understand. they really don't know when you leave if they'll ever see you again." at the time i found that hard to believe. but as the years have passed and the way they greet you when you've been gone even 10 minutes... i wonder if he wasn't right!
    i hope it was only separation anxiety. and our beloved wee bear is going to have more and more slowly wonderful days. my heart to your heart.

  17. Wilf will, of course, spend wisely...every moment is a blessing and his devoted followers know that well....DBH

  18. Fingers crossed that it was just the unsettlement of routine which caused the balance to tip. Hopefully things have smoothed out and you can report tomorrow on how a delightful, beautiful PON sat in your lap again. Keep on going Wilf!

    With love from your Canadian pals,

  19. Love the thought of his 10 minutes in your lap. Hate the thought of a really rough night. Louise.

  20. Wilf and family,I will be in the mts for two weeks without computer access. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I echo all others in that I admire how your time is sweetly flowing.

  21. I'd go with interruption of his routein as the cause for the bad night.

  22. We're hoping the rough night was from the disruption in his routine -- which has happened before.

    Perhaps all will not be tout a fait comfortable until the other half of his flock is back (and in the kitchen).

  23. Oh, gentle adorable Wilf! So glad to be back in the comfort of his master's arms. I don't believe you would have left him if there had been any way possible to avoid it. You are his anchor as the days dwindle down. We are hoping for more days of sweetness for you all.

  24. My pleasure today is to imagine you and Wilfee, sitting together, having a precious and peaceful moment.
    See you tomorrow Wilfee boy !
    All my thoughts for you, Angus.
    Be sure you are not alone, we all, are with you, over the oceans and the world.

  25. Anugs,

    Whatever the pace of this journey always remeber that, in each and every moment in time, you, "the font" and Wilf are surrounded by so much love from all around the world.

    Give Wilf a gentle hug from us in NZ.

  26. The difficult night could have been related to the interruption in medication administration. He levels could have become a bit low. Hopefully he will rally today.
    My elderly cat was euthanized this morning. Cried and am still crying. Even if you know the time is right, it is a crushing experience. And it doesn't get easier. It gets harder. You know you've done the right thing but your heart is breaking.
