Highton-Ridleys profile - StumbleUpon: Oct 8, 2008 2:59pm (1 review) photography, stumblers-fine-art http://highton-ridley.stumbleupon.com/; Mark Highton-Ridley. In an ideal world the mention of his name should be enough to incur a gasp from most art lovers. It is a rare occurrence when someone else's photography would emanate such a reaction from my own lips; but from the minute I saw his work in a gallery many months ago I was completely enamoured. I was fortunate to meet him a few months later; and am still as in love with his work now as I was then.

Like many things I forgot his name. Thankfully a friend of mine reminded me of him right here on Stumbleupon. I am apologetic that I forgot this, although his work remained in my memory as vivid as the day I set eyes on it.

Please check it out. It is worth every glimpse; and I hope it brings you as much satisfaction as it did me.

Thank you for bringing such beauty to canvas Mark.

Tiny Rupert was born three weeks early after his mom was hit by a car. Unfortunately, vets were unable to save her, but they did perform a Caesarean section to save little Rupert. "

Oct 2, 2008 4:33pm: I Cleaned Up Your Mess Today - again
Date: 2008-06-03, 9:36AM EDT

You decided that you wanted to move to an apartment that didn't allow pets (and by the way, landlords are forbidden to do this in Toronto). I don't know what lured you. Maybe it was a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Maybe it was a great view. Maybe you liked the woodwork. At any rate, it was more important to you than she was. So you took her down to the shelter, still wearing her cute little pink leopard collar with a bow, and you cheerfully wrote on the card that she was very healthy for her age and friendly and just likes to sleep in the sun! I guess you knew her pretty well - you put her birthday down on the card, too, making me believe you've probably had her for her entire life.

Then you left, secure in your rationalization that somehow, in the midst of kitten season, your seventeen year old cat would find a home. The shelter took a picture of her scared face and big eyes and put it on the web.

For two weeks, I looked at that picture. I hoped someone else would see her fear and feel compelled to help her, but the public wasn't seeing her. She was back in isolation, getting vitamin B shots and subcutaneous fluids. The tech wrote "depressed" on her card. I'm not surprised. I'd be depressed too if I went from "sleeping in the sun" to a metal cage with a thin layer of newspaper.

Finally today, I couldn't stand it anymore. I felt too guilty thinking about her sitting in that cage at her age. So I went down and I got her, and now she's curled up on a fleece baby blanket in a cat tree in my bathroom. When I go in there, she rubs her head on my hand.

Today, I cleaned up your mess. I felt worse for your cat than you did. And all over the city, other rescuers did the same. They rescued your abandoned cats and dogs and bunnies and exotics. And we all wondered the same thing as we did it: How could you create this situation? How is it that you feel no remorse? How is it that you were you able to walk away from an animal you shared your home with for a year, ten years, fifteen years, knowing that they might die because of your actions?

I'll never meet you to ask you those questions. I just hope I meet the person who will be good enough to give your baby that sunny spot to sleep for the rest of her life (however long that is). She deserves it, and it's a crying shame you didn't have the decency to give it to her. This was originally posted in 2006. I am re-posting because the message hasn't sunk in!

* Location: Everywhere

This is something I found that I feel very very strongly about and had to post it. Three of my five pets came to me as unwanteds. Two cats left to roam the streets, one starving and nearly dead.
Why???
And my dog, 7 1/2 years with one owner, to be left at a rescue centre, middle aged by dog standards, and left to peer through the bars of a small cage where walks with her family became a thing of the past.

Remember this when you take on a pet. They don't understand. You become their world. Make it the best one you can for them.; Delete this blog entry?
