I am pleased to report that Pepe and Scruffy are doing well.
Pepe's wound is healing well. Very lucky. Scruffy is not limping now. Very lucky.

Pepe and Scruffy get sick in the same week
Last week I was busy minding Pepe and Scruffy. They are doing good now. Off to the vet tomorrow again with Pepe. What would we all do without the great vets

Scruffy bites the lock off the stables door
I brought Scruffy and Pixie into the stables as I was waiting on Linda Thompson, from The Donkey Sanctuary, to do a home check. Off I went to the shops to grab

The Diary

19 January 2010

My exquisite Jenny was laid to to rest here at Horn Head Pet Sanctuary today: So she is still in the fields with us all. I am so glad Jenny is still here. I will plant flowers on her grave.

As Jenny passed I kissed her and told her how much I loved her. She did not die alone. She died hearing loving words from me and feeling loving touches from me. I would never let my beautiful Jenny die alone. Never.

I called her name twice today as I was feeding Blackie, Scruffy and Pixie. It felt so strange not to see Jenny rushing up for her dinner.

Blackie is calmer now. He needed so much reassurance when Jenny went missing. The poor horse really fretted and it was pitiful to watch. I have extra carrots in to give Blackie extra treats and to remind him he is safe and he is not alone. He loved Jenny too and I feel for poor Blackie. Blackie and I are mouring Jenny- a beautiful pure soul. Blackie did see Jenny as she lay so still so Blackie knows Jenny is not alive anymore. Blackie can now understand why Jenny is not here.

Blackie has been very clingy since poor Jenny passed. He needs my extra care and attention and I will gladly give all the love I have to Blackie as I could not bear to see Blackie suffering after losing Jenny. Today when I went out to start the chores Blackie was at the front gate waiting for me. The poor fella wanted me to reassure him and I did. I petted him all the while he ate his dinner and I spoke soft kind words to him telling him I loved him.

Scruffy and Pixie seem less upset - but Blackie was probably much more bonded to Jenny than Scruffy and Pixie.

Jenny stay close to us all. We need your beautiful gentle eyes to watch us and keep us safe. Please stay here with us Jenny as you are loved here more than any words can describe.

My beautiful Jenny- you were my first horse and you taught me how to take care of a horse. You were a gentle teacher. You always told me what you needed. I learned how to take care of horses thanks to you my Jenny.

I remember the times I rode you in the fields. I went easy on you as you were old and we had a few short canters. Can I tell you Jenny those moments were the happiest times in my life. Thank you Jenny.

No horse will ever replace you my darling, sweet, pure soul- Gentle Jenny.
