Welcome Buddy

So I tried to be rational.
I tried to say no.
I was being the logical one for a change.
My son Kai was visiting the SPCA - week after week - to see Buddy...

Eventually he wore me down - with a poem he wrote during one of his visits:

Sun dried every day in the life
You  have an intermediate setting
Written out by the man wearing the tie

You stand to attention
When wallets walk by-
But again people sigh
You aren't what they seem to like

Your eyes are disguised
They bleed my soul dry
My heart feels filthy
Everytime I leave your side

Your three by three life
Is pennies compared to mine
I know that everyday I could
Birth you a new smile

I've been told I can't help you
But I can't stand by
When others deny you their side

They won't understand
How I see you
Through my eyes
But when they meet you
They'll cry
Because they too denied

So the master manipulator child of mine gifted our family with another member. 
I wonder what lessons this angel will bring.  Enthusiasm is the order of the day right now.  There are three puppies in the house.
Watch this space!!
Welcome Buddy!!

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...

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...
