Pets As Therapy

That sounds fabulous Ka-9. I used to live on a farm myself and had all the cats, dogs, horses, chickens, poddy lambs and calves. Loved it, but left the farm about 7 years ago when hubby retired, and now live on 3 acres about 8kms out of a small village. Still quite rural, but not the same. I only have my little dog Holly now, and 16 budgies in a large aviary, of all colours and varieties. They're lovely too.

Ka-9 I am so sorry to hear that you have suffered as a result of a loss of your previous dogs. Thats awful and I feel for you. I love the sound of your new buckskin quarterhorse colt. I used to have an arab and a quarterhorse on the farm. Used for both farm work and play.

So glad you are loving the country life. :)

She looks inteligent :)

Used to own a little one like that, they are very entertaining and indeed many times animals can sense stress or happiness of humans much better than people. It is in my opinion that animals show the kind of innocence that is completely devoid in many humans. I like animals because they don't try to take away my innocence unlike the human predators that I have come to fear and loathe.

Lord Byron put it better than I ever could:

...in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone.

My puppy has kept me out of hospital longer than I've been in years, I've dropped 3 psychotropic meds, and haven't self-harmed since the day I got him.

Totally hear you:)

So pleased to hear that Ragdoll. Good on you I say, and good on your puppy as well.
