You've given her some comfort and that's a kind thing Al. Many animals never know that.

Horses live a long time in Hawaii, but of course they do die. My wife's horse that she had for 21 years was put down a few hours ago. He was 34 years old. CB (his name) had a bowel impaction of some sort -- nothing else to do. I'm sorry that I don't have any digitized photos of him.

We've been enjoying the birds visiting our feeder in the garden and 3 weeks ago I noticed animal poop on the lawn when I went out to mow. At first I assumed cat, but we only ever see 1 cat in the area and it didn't look like cat poo. (We had cats for 15 years).
Then the mystery was solved, when we saw little Harry eating the dropped seed and nuts under the bird feeder. We often see him now, usually in the evenings, so he has obviously moved in, and lives under the many shrubs around the borders. Each morning he leaves me little "gifts" to pick up from the lawn but I don't mind at all.

Our hedgehogs are meant to be eaten raw:

He was out and about again this evening and was doing a lot of scratching, first using his back legs, then using his front. I think hedgehogs are born with fleas.

I'm sorry to hear about this, too. We had a pony that lived just about as long. You definitely get attached.

I hope your DH isn't reading this.
-------------
Reminds me of a story. We were on a ski trip with another couple and their daughter Meghan. Jenny and the daughter were about seven. At breakfast the second day, I had been explaining to Jenny and Meghan how humans were animals too.
Meghan goes to her dad, who's reading a paper and says:
"Daddy, Mr. TromboneAl says I'm an animal. I'm not an animal, am I Daddy?"
And her Dad says:
"No, Meghan, of course you're not an animal."

Took the mutt hiking yesterday even though it was warm. He stayed cool.
Almost caught him in the act.
