Most difficult time ahead for Wilf and family - Power of the Paw needed

From the mom - this hit me really hard.  For those who don't know Wilf, he is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog - I saw his picture over at Wilf the PON Discovers France and he looks like such a sweetheart.  Earlier this year(May), his brother Digby, also a PON, lost his battle with piroplasmosis - a disease transmitted by some species of tick.  It seems to be most common in horses, donkeys and zebras but when I Googled it, I did find 1 article relating to dogs.

Wilf's parents just found out that Wilf has developed a fast growing tumor - Wilf has maybe just days to live.  As I am typing this, I am so close to tears as I think of my own two.  PLEASE stop by Wilf's blog to leave your message for his parents.  I just cannot even imagine in my most bizarre nightmares, the pain and hurt they must be feeling right now.  

And give your own furkid(s) an extra hug and kiss before bed tonight.

            

Therapy vizitin'

Mom wuz off werk on Monday – Columbus Day – so she d-sided a while ago that wood b a good day for us tu git bak tu duin’r therapy vizitz.

Shiloh:  Ac-chualy, I wuz gittin’ bak tu it while this wood b Shasta’s first visit.  I wuzn’t shur at first what wuz goin’on but when mom put that b’dana on me then I nu we wuz goin’vizitin’sumwhere.  Then I got tu thinkin’we just went tu the libary yestaday(Sunday) so I nu that wuzn’t it.  Then I got all x’cited – cood it b, we hadn’t bin vizitin’fer a looooooooong time – oh wow!  I love ridin’in the taxi on r way cuz the driver is so very nice tu me – callz me Bubba, snooglez with me an’letz me walk all around in the taxi an'sez he haz 2 favorite doggiez that he pikz up, ME an'a service doggy.  Here r sum pikchurz mom took of me at the hospice we go tu-

Here iza pikchur of my nu b'dana - it'z not really nu but just never uzed it b-4.  It'z all mine - made just fer me - c, even haz my name on it.  Mom  sed we will uze it more often - YEAH!

               Here iza better pikchur of my name -

This wuz one of the employeez there - she wuz nu so I walked up tu her tu welcome her.   (mom iz very careful not tu git any facez in r pikchurz fer privacy reazonz.)

     I wuz surveyin'the room, lookin'fer anyone 

       needin'a snoogle frum me.

Takin'a bit of a break b-4 I du more vizitin'.

Ok, gotta git bak tu werk, lookin'fer more 

snoogle oppor-tuni-tiez.

                    What 'bout that-a-way - 
                                    anyone need a snoogle?

Az we wuz leavin'fer this vizit, we stopped by

a gentleman'z chair who wanted one last 

snoogle fer the day.

Just a reminder - all of the pikchurz above r me, Shiloh - the one with the b'dana with a name.

Shasta:  Hey mom - whatcha duin'?  R we goin'sumwhere?

(From mom-yes, those are Beagles on the quilt - I was able to find the material and had the quilt made.  The same lady that made this little quilt also made the one for Shiloh.)

 Here I am modelin'my nu collar an'the purty b'dana my cuzin Bailie let me borrow.  This pikchur an'the one above were taken b-4 we left.

Mom nu I mite b a little nervus since 

it wuz my first vizit so she brought 

along my purty nu blankie an'my nu Mr Froggy tu help me feel 

better  -

                                                        at least that's

                                               what she wuz hopin'.

BUTT - that iz all the pikchurz of me an'my first vizit cuz the camera died.

(Note from mom - May have all been for the good - Shasta started out being real skittish - tail tucked tightly and kept trying to hide by me.  Some may think I should have stopped after the first couple of minutes but knowing her the way I do - this was not entirely new behavior for her in a new situation.  However well before the visit ended, her tail was starting to come back up and wag some - even started going up to people to meet them.  I feel that if I had stopped the visit when she was acting skittish - that would have reinforced that behavior, which I knew she could overcome and she would have missed out on meeting many new and wonderful people.  We went to the same hospice that me and Shiloh did but later in the afternoon - outside of wheelchairs and walkers, there was no other medical equipment for her to deal with.)
