Rocky In His Stall

Rocky In His Stall

How nice to visit Rocky in his stall, to give him fresh water, to give him some daily grain. The horseflies stay out of the stall, a breeze comes through it and he seems eager to get out of the strong mid-day sun. He is at ease now around me, Maria, and Red, who sits by him while he eats. Thomas Aquinas said the reason to treat animals well is that it enhances our humanity, our love for one another. A great legacy for Rocky.
