You know how at one I feel with my pets...whether near or have passed on...so this posting is very near and dear. Loved seeing your mother, what a beautiful rider and taking that jump with ease ( yet know it’s hard work to make it look so natural).

I do have a friend on Floyd that has had a koi pond, and chickens, dogs and cats and he hasn’t had a bird issue, yet some birds ( osprey)are another story.

As always MC, beautifully and thoughtfully written.

Di -- I actually thought of you when I wrote this ... about your dogs, in particular! Thanks, as always, for reading and supporting my "stuff!"

Wow, what a unique and thoughtful perspective. Loved it! Your mother looked like she was one with her horse, just beautiful!

Just a word of advice, be careful with that Koi fish pond and the osprey! We had a Koi pond where I worked and the birds of prey loved to stop by for dinner.

Thanks for reading, Ann! And wow ... you're right. Can't believe I didn't think of that ... the osprey would swoop right down and get the koi .. oh, boy!
