Oh Prue - thank you for your meanderings about your beautiful "pup". I continue to waffle about having a pet in my life again - it's been a very long time without one and I DO recall all those lovely moments of pure unconditional love on their part and how it always filled my own heart. Always more to be revealed for this Crone....always "Perfectly on Time"... :-)
Prue, this is just too good - my eyes became hot and moist reading it since so much here resonates with me. And you capture The Terrier-ist Personality so well - I often say at the end of the day when Stanley's head is heavy in my lap that he has become a "boneless" dog. And their trust and devotion is so humbling - it is an honour to share one's life this way. Your bread looks celestial, I can smell it across the miles AND I too used to love Rosamunde Pilcher, I even sent her a fan letter once - and she wrote back! Thank you for this tight little series of reminders of all that is good in the world. Your timing is strong.
Gosh, what a special boy he is, Prue. What a delightful post.
And the 'bread language' is absolutely fascinating! It hadn't occurred to me to wonder how communication happens in silent orders - you've reinforced to me that there is so much more to communication than just speech: and indeed, is speech even necessary at all? 🤔 Really interesting!
Lovely post...I do believe our appreciation of everything deepens as we age. Food, music, nature, and pets (to name just a few.) I don't think it's that 'we're running out of time' as much as we've lived long enough to understand what is truly valuable in this life. Thanks for always reminding us!
My heart melted while reading this, Prue. I have two dogs, so I feel everything you write...and that contented purring with the ears! My older dog is now 17 and her favourite thing is to cuddle and when I rub her ears she leans into me as if she is in pure bliss. Goodness, do I love my dogs. Thank you for these beautiful words. 💚🙏🏻🌱
