And she was pregnant when she was left at the shelter one week before she gave birth. Even thought she was extremely fearful of everything, she raised five beautiful puppies. And now it's her turn to find out what life can be like in a home filled with love and understanding. I hope she can learn to trust and love as Will has learned to trust you. I'll be more patient going forward and give her the space and time she needs. Thank you for sharing your life with Atticus and Will with the rest of the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077283449811704177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-85900383838043752272014-05-08T18:38:09.590-04:002014-05-08T18:38:09.590-04:00from Kay in Va. ....

You are a...Best Wishes to Will on his new birthday. You are all so fortunate to have each other. <br /><br />I love those little old man dog grunts. My dog does them too, as well as the hops. My sister calls him Mr. Jumpy. <br /><br />It's hard to think of time passing but my little man is 10 now. He has grayed and slowed a bit. As I see his time passing I am reminded of mine too. I have accepted his passage into seniority but still forget that I am now a senior and must learn to be myself now, not myself in the past. <br /><br />Dogs don't need to be taught this. They are always in the now. My job to make sure the his now is the best it can be. <br /><br />When my little man starts to lose some control, I'll just be cleaning it up. It's why I have tile and hardwood floors, not carpet. There is no point in getting upset for him being him. It's what old dogs do. <br /><br />I think what I need to work on most is being me. Reading this blog helps a lot. There is a lot of food for thought. I just need to slow down and chew on it. Reading these posts, especially about Will, makes me stop and think about things I usually avoid. And that's a good thing. It will help me to become more me. The me in the now. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-42977162506523441962014-05-06T16:43:47.431-04:002014-05-06T16:43:47.431-04:00I so look forward to your thoughts on the Followin...I so look forward to your thoughts on the Following Atticus page.

I have never heard anyone talk with such love and appreciation while caring for a "messy" aging individual. I hope for that loving care too when and if I am in that stage of life. I know that you gave that kind of love when you worked in the nursing home. Dear Will landed in the perfect place for a good old age!

And most often when it's about Will. Someone told me a long time ago that tears are a gift of grace from God; whether it's pain or joy or loss or awe, our tears show an open heart and the very real emotions within. How lucky we are, then. My heart overflows with gratitude every time my tears fall listening to Will's symphony as you have shared it with us. Thank you, Tom. All around us the beauty and the miracles of life and love and Will's beautiful music...I am so happy for him and the life he now lives with you and Atti.

Your words flow like a sweet, rhythmical stream, filled with incredible passages that paint a brilliant picture of how Sweet Will came into your life and chose life. No doubt, he was knocking on death's door when you came into his life. You, and the words and stories you share, showed Will how to dance again, and to choose life again. I have tears streaming from my face, but these are happy tears because I can see Sweet Will dancing, so happy to choose life -- and what a precious life it is for him. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, touching stories. Mostly, thank you for allowing Will to dance, even when he has accidents. Thank you for the laughter and the unconditional love. Sweet Will, let us dance while you teach us how to love unconditionally!Barbie Perkins-Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665224022963329838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-29683158926069580062014-05-06T12:19:45.986-04:002014-05-06T12:19:45.986-04:00Happy Will Day :) and Happy Day, Will.
