LIVING WITH AN OLD DOG
October 10th, 2021 by Gail
Living with a very old dog means feeling your heart speeding up every time you see them a little more stiller than usual and approaching with the fear that they have stopped breathing.
Living with a very old dog means being aware that some of the things you’ll do together may be the last.
Living with a very old dog means thinking ′′ this is their last summer “, ′′ this is their last August “, ′′ This could be the last morning”.
Living with a very old dog means they bark at any noise at any time, not because they know what they are barking at, it is they feel they need to bark and let us know.
Living with a very old dog means, you have to lift them up into the truck, the bed, the couch, the stairs.
Living with a very old dog means putting off commitments because it’s important to be close to them.
Living with an old dog means we trip over them because they are so sound asleep they don’t hear us approaching them.
Living with an old dog means accidents in the house, it’s ok they don’t mean to do it.
Living with a very old dog means feeling guilty because you know you could have done more, giving them more runs, more travel, more hugs, more caresses, more everything.
I would like to say that living with a very old dog also puts us in the face of our own death, fragility, vulnerability.
Living with a very old dog means we got to experience life with a very old dog, which is one of the best joys on earth.

VALE – Dennis Whittington
September 21st, 2021 by Gail
We are very sad to be told of the very sad news of Dennis Whittington’s passing.
He was a kind and gentle man from South Australia who loved his Irish setters – and we know there will be many departed Irish setters to greet him at Heaven’s Door with huge and happy hearts.
Personally, I thank Dennis for always sending me the Adelaide Royal Show catalogue – the minute it was out! And probably my fondest memory was the little momento gift and lovely consoling words he sent me after my mother died some years ago – a little treasure I will embrace even more now.
Sincere condolences to his family and friends ~
Rest in Peace, Dennis
