I could have put hundreds of pictures on my post "Domestic Animals" because my life is my animals... always has been and always will be. The above picture is of my darling first pony Shilo. I was given him as a rescue pony and turned him from a naggy, underweight and very sad pony into a healthy, happy best friend. I do miss him.
This picture is a very old one of me aged around 10 riding a 14.2hh mare called Cindy at Erddig Hall stables.
Little Harry riding Splash who was all kitted up for the festive season.
Harry being prepared for his lesson on Splash with Lisa.

My beautiful and darling first dog Bobbi aged a few weeks old. She was the love of my life, we shared such a special bond. So sad when she died of lymphoma aged just 5, my heart broke in two that day.
One domestic animal making a fuss of another!
Poppy with her own little domestic animal. She loves these little teddy bears which belong to the boys. She specialises in stealing them and taking their eyes out then guarding them from the other dogs, treating them like her "babies".

Wilbur the terrible with Pickles in the background and the blonde guineapig is Jessica.
Not such a good picture but this is my little boys Russian Dwarf Hamster, Penny. He is called Penny because he was the size of a penny when Harry had him. He is an old man now being almost 2 years old.
This is my eldest sons hamster Blossom. She is a Syrian hamster aged about 5 months old. She had been playing in my dolls house.
Really great shoot out, I could have published more!
A house full of animals that is how I grew up and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling sweet friend.
Love Renee xoxo
Very cute animals..they will give your boys happy memories when they grow up just as the pets you had as a child gave you.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures. Animals are such a big part of our lives too. I LOVE Poppy. What a a great name too. I had wanted a West Highland Terrier for so long, I can't remember when I changed and got a Yorkie? I hope Maia is doing well with her new family! We miss her!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos. I love all animals. I can take hundreds of photos of my dog and all the animals in and around town. Great shoot-out.
ReplyDeleteYou know what "they" say about people who love animals??? Well that's you all over! ♥
ReplyDeleteI really like the shot of you at 10 riding Cindy!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteDo you still ride? Some how I think of you in one of the short stories I wrote. It's about a little girl who falls in love with horses.
Cheers,
Ann :)

ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures and I love animals also. Very sweet photos of you and your son on your mounts. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I appreciate it. I wish you the best and plan to visit soon.
ReplyDeleteI could look at your menagerie all day Sara. Keep 'em coming! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, always wanted a horse, but never got one. So I get vicarious pleasure out of other peoples' horse stories. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWilbur the terrible sure looks like he's earned his name.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful! I love them all, the hamster ones remind me of my dear Wilson, he was my best friend through most of my time at the University.
