In fact, we only found your blog when Digby just crossed the rainbow bridge.<br /><br />As we journey with you we have come to value each moment we have with Wilf and with each of the piappies as well as our furry bloggie pals. We make it a point to visit your blog everyday even if we have not been able to post on our blog regularly. Seeing Wilf's wonderful photos and reading your posts always bring a smile to our day.<br /><br />We continue to have our paws crossed for Wilf! <br /><br />Love,<br />Piappies Fudgie, Princess, Frappie, Mocha, Sugar, Wai-Pai, Wai-Max & ForgiePiappies Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913096993511114336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-34324584766844494752011-02-07T00:29:45.707+01:002011-02-07T00:29:45.707+01:00wilf

No doubt these past three months have taught all of us the art of living in the moment, "neither looking back to what was or looking forward in dread or anticipation" to paraphrase Anne Morrow Lindburgh. I read something just yesterday that once again mentioned that dogs's eyesight is not particularly good and they are much more dependent on their keen sense of smell--and I suppose when you look at Old English sheepdogs and Pulis, among other breeds whose hair covers much of their eyes, that's quite true. So worry a bit less about sweet Wilf's vision. He seems utterly content in today's photos!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529559263104583300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-48537673472616043992011-02-06T13:41:13.890+01:002011-02-06T13:41:13.890+01:00Angus, you sure know how to make a girl cry.

"It's ok, dad".<br />"There are no seventy year old dogs" my father used to say. Boundless love comes with inevitable heartbreak when we choose to love "someone" more temporal than ourselves.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.com
