Godly Chocolate memories

Its thundering tonight. But he is not afraid. He has reclaimed his back legs and is running free from pain. With a smile in his bark. Keeping company with angels.
My dear friend Chocolate left his physical constraints today and rejoined the spirit realm.
Thank you angel boy for gracing me with your beautiful spirit. Thank you for your gentle manners. For your complete faith. For your company that was so unconditionally true. Thank you for your howling farewell when I left for work each morning. And the way you encouraged the other dogs to join in the harmony. Thank you for your enthusiasm. So evident when we had visitors or when you herded a diesel truck passed our gate.
Thank you for the way you trusted me to make you feel better when you were off colour. For making my children smile. Thank you for the way you looked at me. So real. For how you fitted into our family. For how we saw polite presence as a good quality.
God thank you for sharing all these amazing qualities through the Chocolate part of you.
Chocolate, gentleman. there is a hole in my world now. But I feel you in my heart. Where you will always stay. Till I join you one day.

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

celebrating a 21 year old

21 years ago today I had been working at Sea World in Durban for just four months. And I was priveleged to witness the birth of a baby dolphin. I was even more honoured to be taken under the wing of a senior trainer to work with the mother and calf from the time of the birth. Wow can be the only word to describe this experience. I was new to all of this, and had this little creature to care for, and get to know. Suffice is to say he stole my heart, lock stock and soul. His name is Jula. I cannot describe the gratitude I feel for being a part of Jula's life. He is an angel. A gem, and master, a teacher, a gentle soul who knows so much more than I ever will. Heartfelt life time gratitude to his mother Frodo and father Gambit, and happy birthday to the heart thief, Jula. Love you angel!!!
