Your Pet From "Way Back When"

[Carruthers]

This is my old horse Sydney, early one morning in June 2006. On leaving the house I had spotted a pair of Mallards on the roof of the house next door so nipped back in to get my camera. Having taken a picture I just put the camera in my pocket and walked off to the farm. When I got there I found the old horse fast asleep so decided that a photo or two was in order.
Whilst he was 'carrying a little condition', as they say, he wasn't quite as corpulent as he looks. (Honest!)
I lost the poor old boy in Feb 2007 and still miss him. Just between ourselves, I dreamt about him last night.



Got it right this time, Bruce

That's OK, I was responding to you saying you were having trouble posting images. That said, pictures wide enough to not fit on the screen are a little annoying and take a long time for people to download on dial-up.

This is Jordy. He was picked up as a stray and taken to the local dogs' home as nobody claimed him. He spent six months there and I understand that he went to a family who couldn't devote the required time to him so they returned him to the home. I was told that he was sometimes left on his own and would occupy himself by re-arranging the furniture! It didn't take long for him to settle with us and he became a great companion. Unfortunately, he succumbed to joint disease as many Labradors do, and sadly had to be put down in 2001. He wasn't even eight years old, poor chap.

All your critters seem to be well groomed.
