Captain Jack Sparrow

He took up a relatively small place on the planet but filled up that space with 100 percent energy and enthusiasm. We will miss his loyal ever present shadow. Always around us looking for the snuggle. So much love. So much unconditional love!

He joined us as a rescue but truly he rescued us. So many times.when we were wrapped in sadness or disturbed for any reason, he was there. When we were happy and celebrating, he was there. When life was plodding on,he was there. Always there. Consistently present and consistently attentive.

That ball of energy presence will so be missed. Perhaps his energy will stay a while. We will be blessed to be reunited with his energy when we reach the other side. Where no doubt he is Barking up a storm, chasing birds, snuggling in any available lap, running wild on the beaches, conning all out of a titbit with those soulful eyes, taking up the duvet, and creating wide smiles with that gracious gentle look of his. He mastered those skills. With a mountain of humour we are sure.

He made us smile

Bless you beautiful Jack. Thank you for being a part of our family. Pave the way. Till we meet again

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...
