You ain't heavy, you my brother

Animals provide me with incredible moments. Yet, I remain a worrier. Am I doing my best. Am I inspring others to do their best around me. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by heavy attitudes around me. I feel sure that people wish to provide their 100% for the planet and for the animals, and yet I note that there is ego in the world - mine and theirs, and the despair this provides is disheartening. Please put it down. Look with clarity at what needs doing and stop worrying about the fact that the world is not fair - because it is not fair!!! So what.

I have another blog - www.bigthankyou.blogspot.com. The reason for this is so that i continuously remind myself of what I am grateful for. There is so much. The sunrise this morning. The mist in the valley as I left home. The warm dog tucket in next to me when I woke up. The animals that chirped in delight when I wondered past them at work. The cats sunning themselves in teh driveway. There are a few things that may need to become law - one is that we all continuously look at how much wonder and magic there is around us and say thank you. Imagine if our law givers made things like this law. Then our planet would most definitely have a chance.

Thank God I am surrounded by amazing animals. Because they do inspire me - inspite of dispirited attitude around me. They definitely are not heavy. More like the air that enables me to live.

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!!!
