Good on you Marty. I think some animals seem to know, sometimes.

Lovely Marty. I had a friend who died in Oct 2008 and her coffin was taken away by two white horses and a dray. It was a lovely send-off.

OK so you owe me for a box of tissues - that is just a beautiful poem Marty, and Yes every word of that rings so true.

Those who know and love animals could all I am sure tell of similar experiences with them. If it is a true story the old bloke would have felt extremely happy that his girl took him for his last ride. I know I would be.

Cheers

Nice little heart string puller Marty. Bet that gets a tear flowing.

G'day Marty...
You had your lens nicely polished for this one mate. Lovely technique and no unnecessary padding. I'd give you a star thingy, but they don't seem to be available just yet.

Cheers, Will.
