There were just two options - A second surgery to remove the plate that had been put in just eight months earlier, or... Putting Choc down. All at once, I was thrown back into a nightmare from which I had barely awoken. Had we really come all this way for nothing? The answer, whe ...

The next few weeks of her recovery were full of ups and downs. The wound would begin to heal, and then infection would set in again, and once more I’d have to wait, scared to death, while they tested to see if it was in the joint. And so it went on, for months on end, with Choc w ...

When I got to Choc, she seemed relatively unscathed. There was barely a mark on her elbow, just one little cut, and yet she could barely put weight on it when she walked. The vet had been already, and said to monitor her for two days, and then take her to be X-rayed if there was ...

So I promised that I would write an article if Choc ever recovered from her surgery, and two gruelling years later, here we are. It has been a bumpy road with a lot of twists and turns along the way, but in the end, looking back at all the tears and turmoil, I can honestly say th ...

I came across an interesting news article about a herd of 'wild horses' in, eastern Canada, that some people feel needed to be protected and relocated. Over twenty years ago, a local resident left two horses to roam on his property, and they escaped to an area of land owned by a ...

The snow - or so she thought it was snow - falls onto the ground like a blanket. The truth was that it was ash, pure, snow white ash that fell on her and all around her. Sakia looks up at the sky, dotted with white, and then looks out into the once immense forest. The trees that ...
