Czech book - launch gratitude

Thank you again to my Czech friends and colleagues for making this possible. I am again, so grateful for the wonderful opportunity to learn from all of you, and contribute towards our greater perspective in relationship with animals.

I am truly amazed. I have been considering the lessons I have learned, personally, on my journey through the world of animal relationship with human kind, and furthermore, how the behaviour management and animal welfare industry have grown.

We are considering and doing things now that were completely foreign concepts just 10 years ago. We have changed our attitudes towards animals almost 360 degrees in the last 100 years. We are looking at how we can provide more choice and control. We are scientifically investigating empathy between animal and human. We are looking and seeing things from the animal's point of view. We are focussing on partnerships and psychological well-being. And so much more

I look forward to more lessons. I look forward to more interactions with forward thinking humans who care to really investigate and learn from the amazing animal souls in our lives. I know that many of those super-smart people are in the Czech Republic.

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!!!
