" The Trelawnyd Sandwich " ( Hattie, Heulwen and I) were supposed to meet yesterday afternoon to see Military Wives . We cancelled as Heulwen couldn't make it, as she was caring for an poorly elderly neighbour and friend.
She has a good heart.
Instead of the cinema I baked homemade pizza and locked Mary and Dottie into the kitchen as Winnie and I shared it.
Winifred absolutely adores pizza crusts and munches them with her fat brown eyes closed in pure rapture
She's fading fast now and I am treating the old girl as much as I able as I feel a decision will have to be made sometime fairly soon about her future
But for the time being, as long as her strong heart keeps going without help, we share pizza crusts in front of the fire.
Last night , I'm sort of glad we didn't go to the cinema
After the pizza crust thing, I caught up with paperwork and bills and read blogs and a lovely email from big hearted Edgar in San Francisco who follows Going Gently with surprising loyalty.
I also made cauliflower soup, put a face mask on in the bath and laughed at a Judi Dench interview on radio 4 and arranged with work mates a night out with beers
I then watched Jennifer Jones and William Holden in Love Is A Many Splendoured Thing as I gently cleaned out Mary's infected ear with some wet wipes. Dorothy watched proceedings with narrowed eyes from her vantage point on the couch and in a fit of transference pique chased Albert up the stairs with a high pitched woof
I'm working long days until Sunday, my next day off .
Then my sister Janet and I are off to some afternoon Theatre in Chester
I'm busy and my heart is busy and we both don't really realise that we are occasionally lonely in this very busy world
Hey ho
Bless you and Winnie and your big hearts, John. xx
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to say Hi and please give Winnie a big hug. I have elderly dogs too and it's hard watching them slow down. I have relaxed the 'treats' rule a little bit as they get so much pleasure from being in the kitchen while I am preparing food. The odd bit of carrot end or apple finds its way to them. I have always loved your photos of Winnie; they make me smile. Take care and thank you for posting something that isn't about what's in the news! Such a welcome break x
ReplyDeleteHave a good day x
ReplyDeleteLike Winnie, enjoy each day, be good to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteA tough call, your busy heart will know when is right.
ReplyDeleteLXX
Poor, sweet Winnie. Our consolation, as well as hers, is knowing that she's in the best possible hands. Thank you, JayGee, for caring so much.
ReplyDeletePoor Winnie. As long as she's still enjoying her pizza crusts, I imagine she must be happy.
ReplyDeleteSending you and Winnie big hugs x
ReplyDelete{{{{{hugs}}}}} to winnie. you gave an old girl a new lease on life when you took her in.
ReplyDeleteKeeping busy and looking after your dogs - there's not much time to feel lonesome.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you call it Calcutta? Kolkata sounds daft.
ReplyDeleteYOU have a good heart. No photos of you in the masque?
ReplyDeleteCan't think about Winnie not here....heart wrenching. Kisses and hugs to her and also to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when our four-legged friends are getting to the stage where we will have to make a decision ~ we, too, are at that point with our greyhound Matty. Like you, it seems, we are just taking it a day at a time really.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read that you had put on a face mask in the bath, my first thought was "why the hell would John need a face mask in the privacy of his own bathroom" ~ then it dawned on me what you were actually talking about! I fear for my brain some days, I really do LOL
Have they started restricting visitors to your work yet?
ReplyDeletei too wondered if you had corona in the tub.
ReplyDeleteMy sister just saw Military Wives ..... she said it was really good ...... funny and sad.
ReplyDelete... and, oh Winnie ..... I feel as if we have lived her life along with you John. ...... the fanny flannel, the love of workmen, the visits to the vet and the trips in Bluebell.. Keep going Winnie. XXXX
How sad to read that Winnie is fading fast. I applaud your sharing the pizza crusts with her and wonder if you be making pizza daily for the time being?
ReplyDeleteWishing you well on those long work days.
Hugs!
Poor old Winnie - love her to bits until the last hour John - how sad is parting but how necessary when the time is right. xxx
ReplyDeleteYes, we all love Winnie and all the many stories you've shared about your legendary life with her. Enjoy time together as long as she can - I think you will know when the right time comes.
ReplyDeleteI loved Military Wives and went to see it on Tuesday. It's a cry out loud, laugh out loud sort of film, and just what a wet afternoon needed.
ReplyDeletePoor Winnie, I love that you and she have special treat times together. She's a special girl, I need to come and have another Winnie hug before you make any decision.
maybe they mean colcannon???
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked to hear abut Winnie, so sad.
ReplyDeleteWere you never lonely previously, like i=when in your relationship/ marriage? Being lonely is just part of life, I think.
I think we're all lonely, no matter how many friends, family, or pets are in our lives. We live inside our heads, and NOBODY can enter there to take away the loneliness. It's why we take in and love our precious pets who never ever trample on our feelings while all the time showering us with unconditional, unjudgemental LOVE. You are a good Daddy, John,and Winnie has had a wonderful life with you.
ReplyDeleteHow do they react to your beauty masks??
Or cold-cutta?
ReplyDeleteI am sure Winnie was blissed out over those pizza crusts. It's the little things that, taken altogether, make up a meaningful life. Right?
ReplyDeleteOh, and BTW, I LOVE "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing"! I'm thinking it may now need to be a weekend rental.
DeleteHow old is Winnie? x
ReplyDeleteOr Kold Kats?
ReplyDeleteI can picture Winnie enjoying her treat. So glad you understand her and have given her some very good years. It's hard when they get to this stage.
ReplyDeleteLove me some JJ such a fine actress!! Love on the Winnie unitl you have to let go.... Hugs from the Bay!!
ReplyDeleteLovely to share pizza crusts, magic moments that you will look back on. My 18 year old cat is fading, I cooked fresh fish for her, moved her bed into the conservatory so she can see the garden and bought her a litter tray so she doesn't have to go out in the cold. She knows, that I know.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Jones played an Asian, I believe... and pizza crusts are delicious.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Winnie was these days.... does she still go out with you for a good walk? Hug her for me. Good Doggie!
ReplyDeleteRuth in Oxnard CA. USA
She. Comes for a walk once a day and greets people like a dowager
DeleteOn no-hope it's not cold caca x
ReplyDeletePoor Winnie sharing some alone time with her must make her feel as special as she is, and a pizza treat what ever works to make her life's journey easier, I have often wondered do dogs know there is an end to life.
ReplyDeleteRemember we all had our hearts in our mouths when Winnie had pyometra? I'm glad she made it to old age
ReplyDeleteLoneliness assails us all if we are intelligent and compassionate. And your loneliness is from a place of strength and stability. Could me much worse. You have already come through the fire.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a life affirming film, try the Archers A Matter Of Life And Death. Or I Know Where I'm Going.
Sending lots of hugs to Winnie and you too. Definitely time for treats and cuddles. Life can be bittersweet so my thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteI have always shared some quiet fun time with each of my Gud Dugs. This story of you and Winnie sharing some nice time with only each other so perfect. Made me tear up.
