It's always a hard day when you have to say goodbye to your loved animals. Today, Soldier and Dallas went to their new home at Corfu Donkey Rescue to live out the rest of their life in the sanctuary, surrounded by lots of people, animals and love. If you've followed the rehab of Dallas and the life of Soldier, please give them and the wonderful residents of the donkey sanctuary a visit with a donation to help them along and continue to help all the equines of Corfu in need.

A massive thank you to all the wonderful people at the rescue for taking on these gentlemen, and giving them a safe and secure home to live out their life peacefully and with care, just as they deserve.

Good luck Soldier and Dallas!

Just 2 happy girls sharing 20 stremma (almost 5 acres) of grazing ♥️ the horses spend most of the year in this enclosed and safe field, thanks to a lovely friend 🙏
Spot a sweaty Kaloni because she had the zoomies again 😉

Kaloni having a little pamper today ❤️ trying to get the winter matting out of her mane is not easy 😅
Stick around to the end of the video to see her happy zoomies 🐎

I can't believe she's 22 this year 😭 her age is showing only in the grey hairs of her coat
When we got her at around 18 we never expected that she would be thriving nearly 4 years later! She of course still struggles with her COPD, it's a lifelong illness. She suffers in the humid, hot summer months, which we remedy with her nebuliser and respiratory supplements as well as cortisone 2x a year. These winter and spring months are a big respite for her lungs and she enjoys her life very much. You wouldn't know it was the same bag of bones we rescued looking at her now.
I love my old girl 🖤 she will stay with me for the rest of her life

All any of us wanted when we were children was unconditional love from the people around us.

And, when that love failed to come our way sufficiently, many of us turned towards animals, sometimes needing to cling to the family pet for dear-life in order to survive and receive enough warmth and acceptance to keep us going.

Animals give us unconditional love and through always welcoming our presence they give us the vital acceptance and validation that, who we were, and still are now, matters and is enough.

The dog who raced to greet us every time we returned home. The cat who always chose our bed to cuddle and sleep. The pony or horse who was always there and always happy for us to nestle our face into their neck and mane, as we allowed our tears of sorrow to flow.

I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve relayed such stories, myself included, with the oft-heard phrase being that, animals and especially horses or ponies, literally saved our lives.

I'm so thankful to these gracious beings who simply loved us as we were and demanded nothing from us except our pure love, bonds and affection in return.

For some, again myself included, it was these safe, secure and joyful animal-bonds and attachments, so utterly lacking in the human-realm, which laid down the templates for the capacity for more genuine relationships, trust and sense of security. And which filled the holes left painfully gaping by those people who were meant to pour love into us.

I for one am utterly grateful to the rabbits, dogs, cats and ponies who sustained me during those early, critical years, and know for sure that I wouldn’t have made it through without them and the life-raft they so generously and loving always provided for me..

Little Buttons is looking for a home ❤️ he was found in the middle of the road in November, very skinny and with necrotic eyes. He weighed 3 times less than he should have.
He’s put on lots of weight, his eyes are better and he is around 6 months old. He is completely blind but he is so smart! Buttons is a very sweet cat who wants cuddles and affection all the time. Indoor/safe outdoor (preferably fenced) homes only 🙏
