Nobility without pride
Friendship without envy
Grace laced with muscle
     and strength by gentleness confined      

He serves without servility
He has fought without enmity
There is nothing so powerful
Nothing less violent
Nothing so quick
Nothing so patient

All our history is his industry
We are his heirs
He our inheritance

(Lines From "The Horse" by Ronald Duncan)

Lifelong friend to Mavis Petrie; Bred by Mrs.Beatrice Paine

Animals In My Life

I would like to pay tribute to animals who have shared their lives with me over the years and who are now no longer with us. I can truthfully say that my happiest moments have been spent with animals ~ and with people who regard them as I do. The saddest moments have been when they died but in spite of that I would not have missed a moment with any of them, any more than I could ever contemplate life now without those who are still here with me.

This section is for me really, but if you would like to take a trip down memory lane with me, please be my guest.

I have started with those who have died most recently and will work back the years, adding to the list of photos as time allows. Clicking on a photo will take you to a page with a little more information about each animal.
