hats off to anyone with an office job

Because I truly do not know how you manage to keep motivated.  How do you stay focussed and sit down all day.  How do you wake up in the morning and know you are heading to a desk.  You must be made of much better stuff than me. On days where I need to catch up on administration tasks and spend all day in the office, if I try and fit in a few minutes here and there to connect with the animals.  Just came back from a moment just like this.  An hour ago I was heavy lidded and dragging on the end of my enthusiasm to get my monthly report done.  I stepped out to spend some time with the incredible Zulu and Kelpie, and I feel enlivened again.  I am so so so so grateful to have these connections in my life.  Thank you thank you thank you!!!

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...

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!!!
