To the many horses,...Godspeed sweet Pi and Dooley.<br /><br />To the many horses, cats and dogs that's I've loved and have gone on before me ...<br /><br />My early childhood pets Whitey (tabby cat, don't ask how I came up with that name) and Shorty (little black and white dog), and Mush (calico huntress extraordinaire) and Tish, Mush's son.To my pony Dynamite, you had it worst of all because my parents were clueless how to take care of you, and a 4-year old just doesn't know any better.<br /><br />To beloved cats Eddie, Banana, Lisa, George, Bear, CC, and the most special of them all, Elliott, who left me in March 2007 and took a big piece of my heart, you gave me so much more than I gave you I think ...<br /><br />To dogs Bandit, Heather, Jessica and Whits—I hope you are waiting for me at the Bridge. <br /><br />To horses Paint (How could your family before me lie so badly about your age, taking advantage of a horse-crazy 10-year old? You deserved a retirement home, not a kid who rode you every damn day!), Geronimo (I still wish I knew why you left, you ate breakfast before I went to school and died while I was at school. You were only 15 ...), Candy (Paint mare from hell) and her 4th foal, a tobiano colt who was partial breech [Candy was with me the longest, I learned patience from her], and Jessie, Snipper and Blackie. <br /><br />All are whole at the Bridge. I'll see you all someday.CaliGirl9https://www.blogger.com/profile/06639398512708841968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-58033514296431911832009-07-24T07:00:44.412-07:002009-07-24T07:00:44.412-07:00I want ot remember, Flicka and Hud my 2 horses and...I want ot remember, Flicka and Hud my 2 horses and Beebee, Tiffany, Tika, Sheba, Seneca, Colby, Peewee, Cielors and Toby dogs that have passed. They will all be missed. <br />I have recently found Zoogen a company that does DNA bird sexing makes jewelry out of our pets ashes or blood. I now have 2 pendants from 2 of my dog sand I have to say it is very comforting to "wear" a part of them on bad days. If you want to find the company just type Zoogen into your search engine and the website will have a link to Perpetua which makes the pendants.Weaseldancrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609414028856077182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-45990017222885687222009-07-23T21:03:27.798-07:002009-07-23T21:03:27.798-07:00I'm so sorry to hear about your ponies, JR.

It's always so hard to lose one, and it never seems fair when we have to give up two or more.<br /><br /><br /><br />If I listed all the lives that have come and gone in this short span of mine, we'd be here all night. These are the ones that I reminisce about the most.<br /><br />Tiger 1989-2002 - I still think about you all the time. I don't know if I'd have gotten into cat rescue without you.<br /><br />Hastur 2007-2008 - My most precious companion, you were like my muse. You brought out the best I could create. Our time together was much too short.<br /><br />Crowley 2007-2009 - I miss you, you crotchety old bastard. I still get choked up every time I hear the Ozzy song.<br /><br />Willow 2001-? I hope wherever you are, you're safe and happy.<br /><br />Calli 1972-2008 - The barn's gotten quieter, old girl. Almost a year and still we can't bear to fill your stall.<br /><br />Zoe ?-2009 - I'm so happy we were able to give you two good months, and I'm so sorry your forever home didn't come in time.<br /><br /><br /><br />To absent friends.Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519191449930495704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-58592840801329567952009-07-23T15:01:01.601-07:002009-07-23T15:01:01.601-07:00Reading through these comments has turned me into ...Reading through these comments has turned me into a mascara smeared mess. :***(<br /><br />Deepest condolences to the loss of Pi and Dooley. You did the right thing, they are in a better place now. I know you know that, but I just wanted to offer a little bit more moral backup for you.<br /><br />I cannot even begin to list the lives that have touched mine yet been lost, and I would be afraid of leaving names off the list, so I will just say, they know who they are, and are all GREATLY missed.SFTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155830531219245152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-63684919297181832072009-07-23T11:58:46.415-07:002009-07-23T11:58:46.415-07:00Alta Speranze - 1976-2000 - All attitude, all clas...Alta Speranze - 1976-2000 - All attitude, all class.

Both horses I had worked with for a short while during their short time here.<br /><br />Silverado- sold in one of the many big name farm sales, had to be euthanized while enroute to his new home. Such a crappy way to go for such a beautiful and truly wonderful horse.<br /><br />AA Firm Resolve- when I first met you, you were so done with people and seemingly life in general. You taught me how to bring back the spark that never should have left. I will also never forget your huge sigh of relief and putting your head in my chest, while those around us misunderstood you and everything that we had shared. <br /><br />And to Lou Adams, one of the greatest horsewomen I have ever met. Even though I never seen you on a horse, you could see and knew a great many things I still have yet to learn. You taught me to applaud for the horse that won, no matter who owned, trained or shown them. Applaud for the horse because <i>that</i> day, <i>that</i> horse won. I never minded being second to you.

Sooty: The craziest Ban...Geeze how could I forget:<br /><br />Sooty: The craziest Bantam chicken. With a crazy personality...she swore...no joke.<br /><br />While below not mine I spent much time with them.<br /><br />Coco: A great (solid) paint pony with extremely tall stockings and a spot that was an inch shy of calling u a paint. Who never let anything phase her. While you werent the prettiest, you threw gorgeous foals. Both with your intelligence and workability. And was always reffered to as my pony...tho I couldnt ride you personally you trusted me and me only for the first few months of their lives with both your foals and how you would go after anyone else. I was sad to hear that you had passed, but were enjoying life...apparently running around with all the other ponies and pretty much dropped from a heart attack. While it sounds bad I know it was quick. As you were seen running and within the 3 minutes it took to get to you in the pasture you were already gone. RIP.<br /><br />JJ aka J bird (Jail Bird) to me: 2000-2008 Coco's first foal, that I was there to raise from the moment he was born till he was 6 years old. I will never forget that day you were a whopping 5 days old and took off running away from Coco while I was leading her, you wonder why you got the name Jail Bird with me. Weaning you was so easy. One of the most unusual but beautiful coloring, gorgeous golden bay roan paint pony with very jagged markings. It pained me to hear you were put down this past fall all because the dummies watching over all of you failed to notice you losing your sight from that blasted virus till it was too late. Even then you were extremely sane and calm there was no reason for you to be put down at a mere 8 years old. I kick myself for not offering to buy you... atleast I would know you would more than likely still be with us.<br /><br />UN aka Stud: ????-Jan 2005 You by far were one of the most gorgeous ponies I had ever seen. Reminded me of an Arab with your build and head, that flowing long mane that touched your knees and a forlock that surpassed your nose. Never fathered an ugly foal. Sadly lost you to a terrible barn fire. Atleast now I know you, J, Coco, CJ, the unnamed paint filly of yours, Snickers, and Lady Marmalade are in much better pastures.<br /><br />CJ:2003- Jan 2005 We lost you all too soon at a mere 2 years old from a nasty plant. Half sister to JJ and daughter of UN.<br /><br />Snickers and her gorgeous paint filly: Also sadly lost in said barn fire.Jan 2005<br /><br />Windy: 2002-2005. Cute, sweet pinto pony filly. Had so much potiential, sadly lost in same barn fire.<br /><br />Lady Marmalade: 2002. Best foal of the 3 your dam had. But also the reason why I do not like kids around youngsters. Lets feed the baby pony a mushroom...you know the bright orange poisionus ones. We caught them sticking it in your pen just couldnt tell if you ate it. Which sadly was the case. Your dam was unusable for a whole year, she was near insane from losing you.

I luckily have not had to put down any of my own horses yet but I too know the day will come.<br /><br />But in Loving Memory:<br /><br />Mr. Itchy, 1989/1990-2002. Our first beloved Flat Coated Retriever, and the reason we will only own that breed from now on, even with the painfully sort life expectancy (7-10 years). Only way to describe him a extremely kind gentleman. He was a lucky one made it to 12 and a half. RIP Mr. Guy you were such a kind and patient soul.<br /><br />Lance aka Moose, Tank, Big Man and many other names.May 15th,1998-July 2nd,2008, Flat Coat. He is one of thoes dogs that you never forget. His personality reminded you why FCR are called the PeterPan of dogs. The stories of this dog make people think we are nuts. But at 125lbs and over 5.5 feet long he swore he was human. He told you what he wanted, let himself outside if you took to long. Had more toys and things than a 2 year old. To him a stick was the biggest log/branch he could carry. The bigger the heavier the better, right down to playing with a shot put. He loved metal, would take my bits, would chew on copper tubing, one of his favorite toys was a 5lb hand weight that he ripped the rubber coating off to get to the iron. He had the jaws of steel. RIP Big Man, we miss you so.<br /><br />But must also add:<br /><br />Rosie: ????-July 16, 2009. Wonderful haflinger cross pony. That gave us great memories and laughs. Owned by the barn owner where I keep my horses. Sadly had to euthanized for health reasons. RIP Rosie. You are missed.Arab-N-OTTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590723880894710616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-89819159387522578052009-07-23T06:51:24.345-07:002009-07-23T06:51:24.345-07:00Childhoods friends:

I'm proud to have been there when you needed me and I'm glad I was the last face you saw in this world. I look forward to seeing you again on the other side of the bridge when it is my time. Your time with me was July 16, 1974 to Feb 1, 1998. I remember both days every year. It took me forever to move on, but I believe I have your blessing with my current horse, Fancy.

I think of him every time I turn on a faucet.LuvMyTBshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535739190335276089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-65839553040934880632009-07-23T04:39:02.245-07:002009-07-23T04:39:02.245-07:00Tux

You gave them great...So sorry about Dooley and Pi. You gave them great lives, they were happy, cared-for, and knew they were loved to the end. My sorrow is for you--because Dooley and Pi are now frolicking in greener pastures with Kleiner, Kitty, Pete, Cubby, Tinny, Sparky, Simba, Molly, Buckwheat, Fatima, Tabitha, Blackie, Thomas, Simon.<br />Love and peace to you, and to all our old friends, who I will know again someday in the next world.littledoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246918889252942468noreply@blogger.com
