Thinking of Wilf

It's hard to think about anything else tonight. This blog was only a month or so old  when one of  our new blogging friends posted about a dog named  Digby being very, very sick and asking that everdoggy go over and leave some words of support. Well, we didn't know Digby or his older brother Wilf, but it seemed like an easy enough thing to do. It was impossible not to fall in love with Digby as soon as we saw his photo.  He hung on and fought hard for a while and there were even times of hope, but in the end he succumbed to illness. Hearts broke all across the world when that happened. We all felt  for Angus and the font most of all. And now, just a few short months later,  Wilf is in his final days - hours - according to his Vet. Life certainly doesn't make any claims about being fair, but it just seems so extra wrong for Wilf to be taken from his family when they've just said good-bye to his little brother. Our thoughts are with them all tonight.

  3. Although I do not know Wilf, I did go there and left a few words. It doesn't seem like enough though.

  14. Yes Lola, it is so so sad. It is difficult to read what Angus writes...he does it so heartrendingly.
    we were only settling down to the change in the header picture, minus Digby nad minus his name and now this....
    Hope Wilf will not have to know any earthly pain in his final days..

    with orayers, Ginger n Buddy

  15. This was a Most Beautiful post, Lola. We feel exactly the same way and our hearts just broke into a million pieces when we heard the news. It seems so silly to say, "It isn't fair," but, well, it just really, really isn't. Our thoughts are with them all.

    Gentle wiggles & wags,
    Mayzie
