A New Star in the Heavens Tonite - plus a reminder

Back in October of 2010, I first brought you the story of Wilf and his
family – Wilf, the Polish Lowland Sheepdog and his mom and dad –
“the font” and Angus who live in France.  Wilf’s younger brother Digby
had succumbed just a few months earlier that same year to
tick born piroplasmosis and in October of 2010 Wilf had just been diagnosed with cancer that eventually led to his blindness.  The family was told that he MIGHT have a week but probably just a few short days – yes, over a year and a half ago.  That discrepancy is a big fault with doctors sometimes, both human andpets – they don’t always take into account the will to live and in Wilf’s case, the strong bond of love and trust between a dog and his owners. 

Tonight there will be a new star in the heavens – I learned this
morning that sweet Wilf, a cuddly looking polar bear type, had finally
come to the end of his struggle – and what a magnificent fight it had
been too.  There are those few pet owners who upon learning their dog
has a dreaded terminal illness, feel they can no longer stand having
their four-legged family member around but thank goodness, Angus and
the font were not this type of owner – no, they stood by Wilf day and
night, doing whatever it took to guarantee Wilf the life he so loved.
And Wilf returned that favor as long as his body would allow.

Please stop by Wilf's blog and leave some of that Blogville support and prayers. 

The Beaglebratz asked me to leave you with this reminder - they have entered Sarge's Name Game and it ends TONITE - MIDNITE!  Please see our PREVIOUS POST for a list of their nicknames then choose your fav and leave a comment saying what that fav is.  Thank you.
