OMG When we insure here we have an excess, of, I think on horses, probably about 20% of the bill, and when that is paid, that is the end of it. but I didn't even think of that much, I was probably thinking of 3/4 of that, for the whole bill. If I win the Lottery it will be paid, (unfortunately I wouldn't hold my breath), but if......you will have the money...Dee and the gang
Hi there Ursula
I know what you mean..it makes it doubly hard when a) you loose your beloved animal and b) you just don't have the money to pay for it. I can only imagine how large the bill was, and then probably double it. You do what you can, and prey that all goes well. I am so sorry that it went the wrong way for you...I won't ask how you are coping, I can guess, but how is the foal doing, she must be almost at weaning age, I do hope all goes well for her. I just wish I could help, in any way, but am helpless too. I know my thoughts can't help but they are with you and yours, All the best Dee and the gang
du länkar ju hit från din hemsida och jag har läst olika inlägg under ett bra tag innan jag tog mig mod att vara med. Man har ju inte så mycket att komma med när man har 1 setter, som under en tid bara var en liten ytterst följsam valp. Men nu, då han är tonåring, så krävs det klurighet, och erfarenhetsutbyte. Att det dessutom finns ett gäng fotointresserade setterälskare gör ju det hela ännu roligare.
I think their size, but also how long they live and the long wait for their birth(compared to dogs and cats) has a lot to do with the shock when they go!! And they are so strong and majestic compared to other animals!! Look forward to the foals new name(simple or majestic!!) and hope she gets to be with the other foal soon!!
It is so hard to see a big animal die! I had to hold my old boy "Gonzo"(30yrs old!!) last winter while he was put down (hardest thing I ever had to do in my life!) Perhaps the little filly needs a name now?;o)
Horses have such strong personalities. I have had Mousse for 19 years and she has been the shoulder I go to cry on when I need to be away from everyone else. The memories you have of Ivy will help with the pain of loosing her. She is no longer in pain and I am sure she knew how much you loved her.

Well Ursula I can imagine that...i think that there is nothing to understand about a very sad thing like this...such a innocent creature taken out of her live and away from people who care a lot about her...it´s so sad...
Hope the foal is doing fine and that she´s not missing her mummy too much!!!
At least the foal can bring you many sweet moments and hopefully the pain will flood away in the future....
It is sad and I can imagine how it is painful, but I know you are so strong woman. I wish you and your foal happy and long life, good health and lot of fun together.
Isis and me together, we wish you and all your family peaceful advent time.
Spring is approaching....Don´t forget!!!
Lucky you in Florida! Grey days ahead I guess as Sweden goes in to Winter, but such a special time of the year, Christmas and snow.
Yes, the garden photos were taken just a few days ago. We will gradually get hotter, and the light during the day far more intense. Cannot say I enjoy the Summer months patricularly, but having said that, I know the bright days do make for a happeir mind-set, rather than dark dismal days.
You will just have stay indoors and sketch those wonderful drawings you keep coming up with.
Love and Hugs,

I am even more envious of you, Cast iron wood burning stove and the sea close by...even with the mess. As for the Motorhome it has been a dream of mine for a few years now. I dare say I will have to get used to it as for parking etc, but lets face it I should be able to do it, it will be smaller than a bus...
As for putting the dogs in kennels I can't do that at the moment Jas bloated last time I put her in a kennel so that will never happen while she is alive, just can't take the risk. She is too precious to me, I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her while I was away enjoying myself, I will either take her with me or not go at all, my dad thinks that I am quite mad, perhaps he is rite. Ah well there you go...
The weather here is drech (wet, cold and miserable) All the best Dee and the gang
Findlay is a combination of a couple of things..I was going to call him Findley but one of the people that have helped, (she did all my 'puppy pack' printing for me). Her surname is Findlay and the puppies were borne on her birthday. So it had to be with an A rather than an E, well that is as clear as mud....eh...
Envy is definitely my feeling to where you live, it sounds wonderful, I have never been to anywhere other than the two places that I mentioned. When I get my Mobile home 'thinggy' I will be just packing up the 'kids' and going off to travel Europe, I can't wait, but will have to until I get the money for the Mobile home, probably never get enough, so it is all wishful thinking, but hey I can dream, I couldn't go to the US because I will not be able to get anyone to look after the 'kids'. I am also with you re the snow and wind etc, but I do miss an open fire, so cosy when it is blowing a hooley outside. Again one day, I will get that back too... though I don't like the mess an open fire creates. Ah well you can't have everything eh??? Dee and the gang
I know that we are not supposed to envy others but hey I would love to live by the sea,
Sorry about saying near to you, but as I said Poland is a lot nearer you than me, and I have never been there or am likely to ever go there, but she was a recommendation so don't want give away a good home, I really hope that she will be happy with her wee boy, my boy is called Findlay he has been my favourite from the word go, may not be the pick of the litter but he is really sweet. And I will be doing more with him than just showing, I think he has got brains as well as beauty.
Have a great time in Florida never been there myself, well never been most places, only Crete and a few parts of Spain, really boring but nice and worm..
Ah not Sweden...Poland well to me its nearer you than me...so not that close.
How do you see the big waves from indoors???? I would love to live that close to the sea...I would spend every day there.
You must be so thrilled at the win that your baby had, she must have been under six months..we can't show ours until they are over six months, my baby has his first show on the 6th February, and then its a case of hitting the floor running, there are a lot of shows one after the other, some I will have to find someone else to show him, but will still be going, I at least have a friend that can share the car with, cuts the petrol/diesel costs, and mileage on the car, and someone to keep you awake while driving!!!
I am just glad that they have got really good homes, They are coming your way, well got you surrounded, I thought that I had killed them with their rabies shots, they were so sick, poor wee things.
It has been absolutely tiddling down here for the past two days, and boy is it cold, heavy frosts over the past couple of day too. Thought it would be a bad winter this year, Geese, they don't usually get here until about three weeks after they did this year..I know what you mean about the wind and the wood. I have been to the beach when you had such high waves it was scary, but always thought that it was so very beautiful.
