MY SEARCH CONTINUES TO FIND BEAU
This web page is dedicated to the wonderful community of Dogs with Blogs and their loving support and help in my search to find Beau. They are an inspiring group and represent all that is good and kind in this world. They make up for all the negativity I have faced trying to find Beau.
If you look closely at this photo, you will see Beau in the background of 'GOOD2GO'.
This web page is not completed as at 30 March 2008. Please check back very soon.
Unfortunately I have been unable to complete this web page because of the sudden and untimely death of my very special friend, Khomet on 13 April 2008. As you can see from this recent photo, Khomet was a very healthy horse.
I have been inconsolable since Khomet's sudden death. One day Khomet was a healthy, happy horse. The next day Khomet was dead. It took me a little while to put together what had happened to Khomet.
Khomet died, as so many other animals and humans have died, because of the mentality and behaviour of the average human being in our society today and this applies to every level of society. Not everyone involved in what happened to Khomet was like this. There are the few who genuinely care.
I have blamed myself for Khomet's death but I would willingly without hesitation have given my life for him, and Khomet knew this. I did everything I possibly could, sparing no expense, to ensure that he was a very healthy horse and the day he died, I did everything I possibly could to help him. Khomet was a happy horse because he knew I loved him unconditionally.
Beau and Khomet were the best of friends. I have shown a photo of them together on the Poems and Stories web page.
Never again will Beau be able to come for walks with Khomet and me.
Never again will I be able to take my very special, gentle, loving Arabian friend, Khomet for walks with me. Never again will I be able to feel Khomet's kisses and the gentle way he touched my face and nibbled my shoulder. Never again will I be able to brush Khomet, feed him, hold him, kiss him and tell him how very much I loved him. Never again will I be able to smile as he tossed his beautiful Arabian head in the air. Never again will I hear his banging on the door to give him his carrots.
Too many humans dismiss grief so quickly and so easily, especially when the grief relates to an animal. The apathy towards 'missing' animals in Australia is appalling.
I am suffering extreme shock and deep grief for Khomet. I have lost a very special, unique and wonderful friend. I loved Khomet unconditionally, as he loved me. Khomet's physical presence in my life was all I needed. I was unable to ride him because of back injuries he had suffered before he came to me. I did not care because I felt truly blessed to share my life with him. He was inseparable from me and he would follow me everywhere. When I arrived home after being away at work etc., Khomet would call out to me, kick up his heels, and run to me. Our time together was cut short, and no one understands how I feel. Khomet was not 'just a horse' to me, as Beau is not 'just a dog' to me.
I cannot complete this web page now but I will complete this web page sometime in the future; I will never stop searching for Beau because I know in my heart Beau is still alive; and I will continue to try to do what I can to raise awareness about the plight of stolen animals in Australia including lost animals who are found and deliberately kept by humans for their own selfish reasons without making any attempt to locate the legal owner of the animal. This also constitutes stealing.
I have become very disillusioned because of my experiences searching for Beau. I doubt very much now one person can make a difference. However, I believe each of us should try, despite the huge obstacles we face. Those of us who genuinely care about animals and the natural environment are making a difference in the way we live our lives each day.
