It was wonderful to see him enjoying racing and finding a 5th gear just at the finish line like he does. Sam TD so humble all the time, nice to see one so polite.

PS Forgot to say, Aldaniti, hope Rosie will be okay.

Ballydoyle, I'm so sorry about Lady. It must be really awful saying goodbye to a companion you've had around for that long. We've just had to have one of our cats put to sleep because she was found to have FIPs. It's a ******* of a disease caused by a corona virus (like human SARS) which most...

I think if you've ever loved, or been loved by a cat, dog, horse etc. when a friend loses their companion it touches you. These pics of Dougal are gorgeous. I love the one of him in the bin! He was a cat who knew what he wanted and went for it. It reminds me of that commercial on at the moment...

I loved those pics of him Red, he was a really handsome guy. Like so many cats he maintained his dignity even during all the chemo. It took me absolutely ages to stop mourning the loss of our stripey wild and crazy guy who met with an accident a couple of years ago on Guy Fawkes weekend. I can...

PS - Tried to send you a PM but it says that you need to free up some space before you can receive anymore posts. Let me know when you have. x

Thank you so much for letting me know about Dougal. We shared a lot of laughs and tears over our rescued waifs, and it was wonderful to know that Dougal's brave character and zest for life was rewarded when he found the person who would assist him in defying death for so long. He was such a...

Not sure if you will read this, but will post on both threads to make sure you see it. Thank you so much for letting me know about Dougal. You know that, sharing your love of wayward waifs and strays, I send you many hugs and much love. Take care of yourself xxx

Have not been on here for ages, just been busy and not had time/energy to read forums. But, had to find out how Dougal has been. Thinking about the two years I've been a fan of his, and all that you and he have been through, it's an amazing story that warms the heart. I do hope he makes it...

Oh my God - Dougal is so talented! ha ha. It's funny how cats appreciate heat and cool so much. Especially if not feeling 100%. Ours will lie on the cold tiled floor if hot and then when chilly curl up right on a radiator until their fur smells singed.

Not been on for awhile but glad to read that Dougal has picked up again. And so sorry about Bonny. Dougal does look like a Burmese, in his face shape. It's amazing how long he has lived considering what he suffers from. Your vet is an Angel. I think it must be one of the worse as[ects of being a...

Pork scratchings? :blink: Cats are so funny in what they decide is a tasty snack. And delicate leaving lots of evidence. My old dog would have just scarfed the lot and I'd never have found anything to recall there had once been a pack of scratchings. Cats on the other hand nibble, leaving a...

That is such sad news. :(

I do understand why people are saying they ought to use a top jockey on Long Run, and even in the Racing Post connections have said that they know Sam is not as good as a professional jockey. So it is not like they do not know what they are doing. The horse was bought for Sam to ride and to...

Started thinking about this and then quickly realised that I cannot name any current guitarists! Sad ... but true. Just nothing grabs me at the moment. Went through various eras where any of the following were my favourites, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, Kim Simmonds...

MOUSE! Grrr. Isabella is a right pain in the backside with her meeces. Typical Tortie, all bolshy and jumping about all over then butter would not melt in her jaws. She keeps bringing them in alive, ipening her mouth to tell me and dropping them. We have them all over the cottage. This...

My family & friends and I really feel it was an honour and a privilege to have been able to be at Kempton to see Kauto Star get his 5th King George. We have followed him from his infancy and marvel at how he has matured, overcome his jumping problems and become the ultimate athlete. I think it...

Oh poor Dougal! Our cats do not enjoy holidays and sleep overs either. We have several family and friends who do not believe we actually own cats because they have never seen them as cats exit when they hear doorbell ring. I do hope he has a quiet few days before the noise of New Year!

I'm really sad for Golden Silver, and for Paul who was tweeting how gutted he was and what wonderful days the horse had given him. We all know this can happen but it sure does not get any easier no matter how many we see.

Just caught up with posts missed by being off PC for a few days. Moe, how is your whippet? Sounds scary. Dougal biting your bum Red was the highlight of my week! Sorry! As for so many being on a massive salaries ..... it is very depressing in these times. I'm really not sure that...
