Angus

Our little Angus, a beautiful guinea pig , died on New Year’s Eve at 9.30pm.

He was only 16months old and full of spunk. He died at home with all of us around him; a new angel to play in heaven.

We love you forever Angus, sweet little boy.

Mashi

September 29th 2006 was one of the most painful days of our lives, having to say goodbye to our little bundle of joy Mashi. Mashi who was a lop ear rabbit was more like a little dog as she would follow us around the house and nudge on our feet for treats.

Mashi, we miss and love you so much and keep wondering how you can be taken from us so, so soon. To help us cope we often say to ourselves it’s not really a “goodbye” but a “see ya later” as we hope to be reunited again one day, but until then we pray that you are happy, safe and healthy in your new life.

Missing and loving you forever Mum, Dad, Tigger & Mini N.

Coolie

CoolieCoolie 2
Coolie: 14 November 1980 - 10 March 2006

In memory of Coolie, my beautiful palomino Quarterhorse gelding. Coolie was my best friend from age 6 years until he had to be put to rest at the age of 25. Purchased by my parents for my 14th birthday - Coolie was the greatest present I ever received.

He was full of personality with a sharp mind who loved water and swimming in the dam. Never wanting to be fenced in, Coolie was also a crafty escape artist. In his later years he enjoyed listening to the football on the radio and dozing in the shed. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of him.

My dear old mate, I’ll miss him forever.

Khaalita

Khaalita, my beautiful Arabian/Quarterhorse cross mare. My best friend of more than 18 years. With me from age 5 months until she died of a twisted bowel at age 19. I would have paid anything to save you. You
were the best stress manager anyone could have. I miss you every day.

Somewhere, somewhere in time’s own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go…..
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

Bun Bun

In Memory of Bun Bun Radovic, our mischievous white rabbit who passed away suddenly on 28th September 2005. He was abandoned when he was a baby and ended up at our house where he was bathed, fed and given the run of his own section of garden. He didnt like his $100 hutch, instead he loved sitting on his own pot plant where there was once a rose growing and scratching on the door when he wanted to come inside. So no more computer cords to be fixed or telephones cables to be rewired after Bun Bun had done his rounds of the house. He will be sadly missed by all at our Spotswood home. R.I.P.

Ebony

Sweet Ebony By Ellen Gannon

I love my little black pony,
I love her very dear.
A time comes for everyone,
Though hers was very near.
I came home from school,
as happy as could be,
My mood soon changed when I found,
What happend to poor Ebony.
It hurts for me to say these words,
Or to write them on paper,
But I have to say whats to be,
Goodbye my sweet Ebony.

Jabba

Goldfish - Jabba
Died - Monday 23rd May
Age - 10 years old

It’s pretty rare for a goldfish to live for a decade, so Jabba came to be a well loved member of our family! He suffered illnesses and shared the tank with some aggressive fish, but he managed to survive. We will miss Jabba and hope he’s happy in that big fish tank in the sky!

Died July 2004

My name is Dianne and live in the Northern Rivers. We moved last year in June to our current residence, very much looking forward to the existing larger accomodation for my lovely chooks. It was 2 weeks after the move, when I went down to feed them, they had been taken by foxes. I was shocked and very sad for some time to come. They were lovely pets, and the kids had grown up with them. Each had a different personality, and I never knew I would miss them so much. They brought much joy and lots of laughs to our family. Thank you girls.
