fingers crossed for a speedy and healthy return of the Terrier, and love and comfort to you Prue.
Thanks for the song, i loved that when it came out but had completely forgotten about it.
I often wonder about the answer to the universe, I'm not sure i think there is one, but 42 sounds as good as any. Also loved Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. So long and thanks for all the fish.
Martin, I sometimes think I am two-sided. I can 'appear' wise or calm or whatever, but in truth, I'm an old duck whose feathers have thinned and whose legs are paddling fit to burst under water. Thank you re The Terrier. He's doing well on meds apparently and hopefully they'll have his bug sorted and him on a strengthening pathway.
The song is brilliant! Terriers have the hearts of lions so I envision the two of you back on the beach, the wind blowing your hair and his ears, noses aloft, facing the sun,breathing in the healing salt air.
Susan, I did say to my husband this morning that I wonder if he will come home and in typical JRT fashion just bounce back - BOOM! It's my dearest wish.
So much in this very timely post, Prue but first and foremost all my love going to that little Terrier lad in the vetty hospital - thinking of you both and understanding how you will be feeling.
Your words today hold such a lot of wisdom for me and especially with the last few days leading up to the election which have been messing with both my sleep and my daytime hours.
But you are wise - we have to just keep on keeping on with the simple but meaningful tasks we enjoy. I love that felted hearts project especially and how it would satisfy the need to be useful. I could write an essay on this post but will stop here. Thinking of you xo
P.S. I've never read the Hitchhiker's Guide but intend to now with this 42 nudge :)
Oh Sue, my biggest hope is the resilience of terriers which I know you understand well. He's also experiencing separation anxiety and whilst the staff are quite happy for me to sit with him, we are all concerned that me leaving him there will set him back. So we settled on mild sedation as they need to do some cleaning of his bottom as he's very sore.
So what will I do today - go for a solo walk. Which will be hard but a solid lesson in mindfulness. Clean out my car, bake a biscuit slice, roast some veggies and grill some haloumi for lunch. I should write too - that might take me away from myself.
PS: Can you Instagram DM me your postal address, if you're okay with that?
Oh yes of course I'd love that. I approve of everything you have planned for yourself today as well - important to have something to "point to" at the end of the day especially during these difficult times. (And so sad! His poor woolly bottom!)
My heart is with your terrier. I'm reading this on what would have been my beloved pooch's 16th birthday with tears in my eyes and hope in my heart for your friend.
Prue -- I typed out a long response offering my thoughts on what might be driving the new wave of interest in the meaning of life, singing the praises of this piece, the Things you Think song, your ballet, your grandson, your sweet, special Terrier, and your heart(s)--oh, how I adore those!
And then somehow, in an unexpected cursor jump, I closed the tab and lost the whole thing. Shucks! The most important part was that of all the things you've written, this one felt particularly well-aligned with me and my sensibilities. Thank you!
Keeping your terrier in my heart.
Thank you, Alice. He needs good vibes right now.

Thanks Kate. I miss him terribly...
Yes, I love that song too. The random facts and comments are nice. HHG to G was stellar, wasn't it? Still is.
Sending hugs and love. Dear Prue, dear Terrier, dear grandson. 🤗💕
Thanks Beth. Terrier comfortable but will be in the hossie for tonight at the very least. I'm lost without him...
This is such a wise and heart-warming piece, Prue, thank you for sharing your heart in this way. Hope your little dog makes a swift recovery. Martin

I am that very same duck, Prue ... you know this already xo
We can paddle in tandem.

Yes, well said! They are JUST like little lions - especially in their own Terrier minds lol

Thank you, Joanne, for your kindness. He's made a little progress, but not a lot, so we shall see what the next 24 hours brings.
Everything is crossed for you.

🕯️Candles and healing thoughts for your fur-baby.
Thank you so much, Elizabeth.
Hoping that this next week in the USA is filled with 42's, hallelujah's and sunshine! Please take care...
Care will be taken no matter the outcome of the election. What else is there to do?
A message here that we can all relate to. Sending lots of positivity to you and your little furbaby. ❤️
The simple things are the most soothing. I'm exploring a simpler everyday at the moment, and it's such a relief. xxx
Simple and plain. The best way...
