I'm sorry to hear that you don't get to do much horseback riding anymore.
I remember how much you loved the camp horses, that's too bad that you won't be able to see them anymore.
That's great that you will be getting a puppy in the future.
Do you have any recent photos of Sammy and Dudley?
I'd love to see them if you do, I'm sure other Pet Talkers in Cat General will remember them and want to see their photos too.
