he means that horses are either turned into glue or dog meat when they die. Which I think was harsh considering what I've had to deal with recently. Seeing a horse you've cared for for 15 years being shot and taken away on the back of a lorry is not nice.

Don't horses get a single shot to the head to ease the pain.

Fook could I do that.

digby's started to get a bit arthiritic since we moved, jumping down on the wooden floors has taken it's toll on him, poor bugger...he's 15 years old now but i'm so grateful he's healthy for his age, sad as it sounds i'd be lost without him.

sorry to hear about your cat bo

Yes, but I didn't know it was for definite until just now. Sorry.

No it is't Skunk, it is Bob he is black with a white star just like Black Beauty    Anyway there were 4 of us out riding one day and bob was at the back, car just came flying up behind us and hit bob in the ribs, claimed he didn't see 4 big horses, riders all wearing high vis clothing and on a straight bit of road.

Before I get stick for riding on the road, we had 200 yards to go on the road from the field to the bridleway on a quiet country lane. It was touch and go if he'd survive then, the car broke his ribs and punctured his lung and I sat wth him for a whole freezing cold January day making sure he didn't die. The police wouldn't prosecute and made him go on a driving course.

No I don't as I am not actually the owner, I just look after him for the owner.  What I say means diddly squat.

arriba, bo, birdy - you're all having a rough time which I wouldn't wish on anybody. It will get better.

We lost our 15 year old cat, which we'd had since I was 3, and I cried like a baby for days when he died. He was just one of those dopey old lap cats who, if you ventured near a sofa and sat down, would park himself squarely on your lap for hours. He also slept on the end of my bed....
