Percy - right at the peak of his 'career' as an eventer suffered a massive pulmonary embolism and died on the spot as he was training for his biggest event so far (FEI 3* - the old 3* rather than the current one). Here being ridden by a professional eventer, representing GB at an event in France.
Jo (Jordan) and Mac (McLaren) - brother and sister both gone now but reached 18 and 19 years respectively. Named for the F1 teams of the era based on their colouring.
In lighter news, these two are alive and well. Cookie and Muffin are 1 year old degus. Most people don't know about the degu, but those who do tend to be very attached to them (as we are). Chosen as pets for our kids because they are diurnal (rather than nocturnal) and they live to 8 years on average (rather than the 2-3 of a hamster, gerbil or rat). Very social, very clever, a bit specialised to keep (they develop diabetes very easily so can't have anything with sugars in, like fruits, many veg etc).
