I began following you shortly before Digby passed and I so remember that post because I was close to making that decision for one of mine. And I had the conversation this morning with my exterminator about how dearly God loves our precious pets and my belief that there is a reason dog is God spelled backward. How much sweeter life is because of them! I also love the Font's choice for the book club-I think we would surely be best friends! My Toby and Bogie are great fans of Bob and Sophie!

As for Digby no need to be sad. You know a dog has done his job well when you smile whenever you hear his name. 9 is a special age for a PON - the full integration into the family stage otherwise known as they control everything stage - enjoy it and the thunder antics.

It is hard to believe it's been that long. I had only started reading your blog a short time before, after Cherry joined us as a pup (I recently realized she is already 9, which also came as a big shock). I had first found an entry in your blog from Italy, when I was searching for advice on whether or not to cut her bangs. My husband was "pro" and I was "con," until I found an entry where you explained that your PONs were happier when they can see. I am very glad I found that entry, not only because you were right about the bangs but because it led me to follow all of your subsequent adventures. Cherry is also afraid of thunder.

Today is the day for Angus to do battle with the fancy furniture store that supplied the Danish chairs. The order was placed in December and no less than five scheduled delivery dates passed - on the sixth the goods were faulty.

I found your blog just after you lost him, but read your post of his passing. Compassion, and a caring vet - even now it moves me to tears, and I have never forgotten the pilgrim and his mule. <br />Mystifying that a sofa can lose a leg in transit ! How infuriating that 'The Font' will now have to wait around for replacements, or make another journey. It also means the lowering of culinary standards whilst she's away again !

The traveller blessed your ground and your memory, made it a little easier. It's what angels do. <br /><br />Angels also grow from arid ground; I shall add this book to my list - forgiveness and redemption are high principles no matter how the faith is expressed. <br /><br />Quite how much can be forgiven for furniture faux-pas lies firmly with the Font and the Spouse!
