Quotation for Tuesday 30th June 2020

Hi everyone,

First of all, sorry this post is a day late! I wasn't too well yesterday and didn't get around to sharing it with you. But it did appear on the PWB forum, so I thought I'd share it with you anyway. Especially as it was one of three on the subject of pets.

Yesterday was my third and last quotation. In the case of this particular animal, maybe 'companion animal' is a better description than pet, as they have very special relations and a partnership with humankind. The horse. I know we have several members who have horses and even more who don't but still love them.

Man has had such a long and special relationship with the horse. I'm thinking of those cave paintings, as pictured above, which occur at sites in Spain and France, which are over 2000 years old.

They have taken us and our belongings from place to place, helped us to farm, taken armies into battle and even made an awful lot of money for some humans!

We haven't always treated them fairly but most of them remain faithful and true to us and they deserve nothing but kindness and love. So here's my quotation in praise of horses.

"If you have gained the trust of a horse, you have gained a friend for life".

Finally I'd just like to say a big 'thank you' to all our pets. All creatures great and small. They enhance our lives so much. So whether your particular friend is a horse, a guinea pig or a pet mouse, let's give thanks for them all today! 🙏

Hope all humans and all their pets have a good day today!

Hi sassy59, I've very seldom not had any pets and I always feel someone's missing from the household at times when I couldn't. Pets can be a huge comfort to so many people. 🐇😺🐴🐶👍 xxx
