Adventures with Willie

My life as a Springer Spaniel living at Moosehead Lake.

Name:
Location: Moosehead Lake, Maine

I'll be 12 years old in August. I live on a golf course overlooking Moosehead Lake. There's lots of places nearby to go play in the woods or swim.

Rainbow Bridge

Willie went to play with Katie and his other friends at Rainbow Bridge in March of 2008. He started limping in November of 2007 and was diagnosed with advanced Lyme Disease (ticks were not common in our area at that time, he may have contracted the disease while I was in the hospital). His autoimmune system was compromised and he died of complications, here at home, with me, in March 2008. He was the best dog ever and I was lucky to be his human. I think of him every day.
I now have "Danny", another ESS who is 2 1/2 years old and tests positive for Lyme and suffers from seizures. He's a wonderful boy, a big cuddler and very affectionate.
Thanks to all of you for your comments.
