HORSE HOSPICE SWEDEN

 You might  know from earlier blog postings about our Horse Hospice in Sweden. About Tequila, the former famous race horse that got an injury and was going to be put to sleep. AWL did the re-search via veterinarians that Tequila could be a "normal" horse if someone would adopt him, give him care and trust.

We did!

 Only two months later, we are so thrilled to tell you that he is doing so much better. He gained weight, he is not in pain/discomfort. Tequila is a happy horse, having four women that works with him on a weekly schedule.

Still, we need to give him acupuncture, massage and soon the black smith. Please help us keep his spirit up by donating to our Horse Hospice.

He is a wonderful example, that life is not over until last person turns his back. We didn't!

LOUIS CHARLES KLEBER

I have written many times in anger about the abuse of a dog or other animal.  I’ve written in mourning about the passing of one of our clients.  I’ve pleaded for donations, and I’ve reported on our successes.  All of those are difficult to write in their own ways.

Today, I write of the passing of a dear friend to Animals Without Limits.  One who, though we never met, had helped us not only monetarily, but with kindness and wisdom, concern and humor.  And love.

Louis Charles “Chuck” Kleber is one very special man.  AWL and I will dearly miss getting warm, interesting emails from him.  He always made me smile, and even brought joy to my children. You could tell he loved life, and shared that love of life with all he met.

In my opinion, he was a great thinker, and full of knowledge which he imparted with very well written correspondence. He shared his memories from different countries and different experiences. His enormous heart for animals was evident from his lovely support to our organization, Animals Without Limits.

I loved how he shared his own memories in his messages.  Sharing. It meant so much to be able to take part in a person’s interesting life, and his certainly had been (and was) interesting.  He gave dog food to shelters through us. It was such a great Halloween gift!  He helped fund our hospice operations.  One of his most touching donations was to fund “Vinnie’s Rescue Van”. You see, Vinnie had been a special dog to his son Craig and daughter-n-law Tracey, and had also touched Chuck’s life. Chuck wanted Vinnie’s spirit to live on in a tangible way helping others less fortunate.

I loved his positive spirit, so wise and so calm. He had a way of being able to see the light in many dark things.  He taught me that not knowing each other doesn’t mean kindness cannot be shared.  My children received postcards from him with wild animals pictures, and he always took the time to write some words about the animals. He was educating in an interesting, engaging way a couple kids he had never met.

He was a funny, serious, loving, interesting man who probably is laughing right now, saying to his new angel friends, “this is not so bad up here.”

He was a great storyteller, and I am so thankful to have received some of his stories. 

One of his favorite quotes;

The Scottish veterinarian and writer, James Herriot (1916-1995), said

"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude,

then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

Godspeed, distant Animal friend.  You will be greatly missed.

SPONSOR ONE OF OUR SENIORS

                                                   SPONSOR THE BEAUTIFUL LAIKA.

Laika came to our Hospice in December brought by our veterinarian. Her family who is an older couple couldn't take care of Laikas seizures and wanted her to be put to sleep. Our veterinarian hadn't the heart to do so since overall she was a healthy and happy dog. Our veterinarian wanted to try to change the medicine. Laika came to our Hospice, polite and lovely and the other Seniors welcomed her right away. With her knew medicine she hasn't had any seizure in soon to be one month. We are so happy, and Laika is the happiest one.
Please consider a monthly sponsorship of Laika for her medicine and food.
You can start your sponsorship today by contacting Ulla Linders at info@animalswithoutlimits.se

We have PAYPAL here on blog, you can sign up for monthly donation. 

That's Amore!

We are forever thankful and we will make updates here.

The AWL team and I thank you for your love, passion and compassion towards our "old team."

 The delivery is starting to come to the Hospice. It became a wonderful New Year gift
