Hoping for the best for Indy. This line was so tender -- "The elderly dog stumbling up the path, following you now, not running ahead as she’s done for 15 years."
I do hope Indy has been improving since your post. After the magic of last night the endings beginning here in Shrewsbury are slushy roads and pavements - the joy of nature casting a blanket of silence over everything short lived.
Lots of love to Indy. Your phrase 'building resistance to attention theft' is powerful. I'm looking forward to the weekend post where you explore this.
My dog got poisoned (I think) second hand by eating something that had been poisoned. He acted similar. The vet pulled him through it but it was an anxious two weeks. We love our dogs. Best wishes for Indy's recovery.
i am sorry to here about your dog. Our dog did the same thing and the vet called it old dog disease which is kinda of like vertigo in humans. It is a slow recovery but we found that chiropractic care helped immensely. Good luck.

‘Hard to recognise the beginning of endings’ - feeling your dread and moved by your eloquence in the moment, James
Thank you Sarah.

Thanks Paul! She's slowly improving. We managed a walk in the snow this morning - already turning to slush here in Kington.
Oh ! I do hope that Indy improves over the weekend.
A walking companion is the very best friend and I find a dog by my side is irreplaceable.
Thank you Jilly. Yes, I agree with that.
Sending you & Indy my best thoughts. x
Thank you Nicola, much appreciated.
Fingers crossed for Indy James! M
Thanks Mark

Thank you. We're not sure what it is, but the vets are doing their best.
I walked with you, such quiet evocative writing. Indy probably enjoyed the slower pace of winter
Thank you Liz. She certainly seems to be relaxing into the slower pace of life.
I hope Indy is able to recover.
Thank you James
