My last night. Cleaning the house. Saying goodbye to the dogs – yet again. A visit from Dandelion my beautiful ginger cat, he now lives next door but must have known that I am leaving soon.
Thinking back over the long list of things that I have done in the last two weeks all I regret is that I didn’t go for more walks with Bonnie on the coast path or lie down more doing nothing with Blue who has been too wobbly to go further than the bottom of the lane.
Except when we went to the vet!
After we came out she took off down to the promenade and insisted on a long walk beside the sea
The Jubilee Pool has beautiful flags this year
Let’s go then!
I’m off!
Shall we stop here for a bit?
I will be back soon but two and a half months is a long time in the life of a dog, especially when you are almost 15. And a long time for me too.
Two homes, one heart indeed. I’m not sure she’d like the summer in Granollers though….awfully hot.
My heart went out to you over this dilemma. I turned down an all expenses four week trip to Australia when my old dog was 14 because I didn’t want her “leaving” without me there. As it turned out she lived another year and a half. We do have to forge ahead though. I think the idea of bringing your dogs at the end of the summer is a great one. It also gives you the time to figure out the logistics of their travel and any legalities involved. I am quite looking forward to a glass of vermut tomorrow, it’s just been that kind of week!
Blue and Bonnie will wait for us! And Duna and me we will wait for you!

Gosh, 15 is good going for a Border Collie, I didn’t think they were especially long lived. I’m sure she’d like Spain in the winters, to avoid damp and cold. And couldn’t you take her back and forth a bit? Winters in Spain, summers in Cornwall?
