Happy Birthday Gambit

Every now and then you meet a soul that changes your life for the better. Someone who enables you to look at yourself and make changes that have the potential to improve the lives of those around you. It is rare to get to know these souls and for them to continue holding you in that change. One such magnificent being in my life is a dolphin called Gambit.

I feel so honoured to know you Gambit. How is it that you manage to open my heart every time I look into your eyes. How present are you that you are able to let me be in the moment with you. The many many tears of joy I have cried with you filling my heart are tears that have fallen in some of the best moments of my life

Your presence. Your unconditional love. Your humble grace and playful exuberance. Your family. I am blessed so many times over to have been graced with your friendship.

My pledge to you-
To continue sharing the lessons you teach me until I leave this planet:
- Trust is earned and maintained
- love is free and unconditional
- moments are precious and timeless
- grace is humility
- play is why we are alive.

Happy 40th birthday precious gentle giant. Thank you. Your time on this planet is a gift for so many. I love you with all the presence of mind I have. You are truly a legendary great angel.

On his retirement. A tribute to a legend

Veterinarian & human extraordinaire. 50 years of true service to the animal world, the animal people, and to his animal-loving family. Four siblings all who care significantly for animals as a result of the way we were raised. To respect life. Because that is who our father his. Our father is more than a vet. He is a compassionate man. A vet who took his oath to care for animals to the greatest level, inspiring those close and around him to do the same. Caring so deeply. Working so hard. Ensuring that he always did his best. He has such depth and wisdom. He has always had a following of people in his life who he wisely guides. His generosity is boundless. He has inspired his children way more than can be imagined. We are pretty sure there are not many people who are so fortunate to have this example of humble love to follow. We are equally unsure whether we can truly honour his example by dupli...

2026 is already a kaleidoscope of joy

Out with the old. Thank you 2016, and goodnight!!!

2016 my dear year! Cannot say I will miss you. However, the lessons I learned in your passage will remain etched in my soul where they were sometimes harshly engraved. I would love to personify you and blame you. And yet, you have even taken the blame out of me. So I feel left swaying in your aftermath. So many people have left the planet. Some by choice. Animals have passed on and new animals have joined the family. Family changes have been enormous with all sorts of 'shake up's' along the way. Work has remained a questioning challenge. Interactions in general have been awakening - not always comfortable. So - good bye. And just for the hell of it - good riddance... Deep breath But that is not true. In real truth - thank you. There have been some good moments. Some great glasses of wine, swims in the sea, long runs and walks, time with so many beautiful creatures, painting class...
