Darn you...you know I am not an animal "lover" but I did keep reading despite your warning to stop, and I had tears as well for Fatty. You have the power to reach others with hope! Keep riding and bringing us beauty through your words.

Thank you!

That was beautifully written. Humor woven into sorrow, woven into the unpredictability of life’s moments. So well done.

What a truly beautiful moment and reflection. I love your soul connection with Little Fatty and all the other fury animals you have loved so well. So cool they all showed up for you on All Souls Day!

Beautifully written , friend. Your lovely ride brought me back to my rides in the North West. And the sweet Donkey saying hello…. Mystical moment. Thank for your days on the farm. Those are some of my blessed times on my return to Cincinnati. Sweet sweet Porter.
