Friday Shoot Out - Domestic Animals

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!

  3. I 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!

  7. Hi Sarah,

    Do 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 :)

  13. I 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!
