Chicago was definitely human, Wendy! Such a special boy and bond with his human mom and dad. Sweet sweet telling of that boy’s life!❤️

The intelligence, the high intelligence of our animal companions and their wild compadres alike-you captured it just perfectly in your ode to Chicago. I think they come in our lives to save us, and we are just along for the ride. Thank you for this stunning piece today.

You have said it perfectly, Mary. "...they come in our lives to save us..." That, they do! I can not imagine what life would have been like without him in it. He certainly gave all of his personality to love and entertain us; never a dull moment with our Chicago! I am so glad you enjoyed this 'getting to know him'! Thanks so much for dropping by to read and your lovely response. Many blessings and MUCH LOVE, ~Wendy💜

WOWza, Telstar’s High Chicago - love his full name. Such a special soul in a horse vessel or any of his chosen forms. Reading about all his antics made me feel the bond you both share. Made me smile and laugh. I know today is bittersweet, feeling this too. I can hear his galloping feet and all the sounds he makes. Your words brought him to me, his head now on my shoulder. I have to mini rose plants and plenty of carrots for him to munch on. Now I know when the stars shimmer quickly, that is him racing across the night sky. Such a lovely read. Thank you for sharing your heart and his with us 🙏☺️

This meeting of the two of you is cosmic and a special one! I know you know! He'll be racing right up to you for those delicious carrots and roses, then burst off across the sky! So grateful for you to have met him in this way! MUCH LOVE to you! ~Wendy 💜✨💫🐎🐴💫✨🤗💜

Thank you so much, Maureen! I am glad you were able to know him through my writing, though I know you would have LOVED meeting him in person! He was a charmer! And, he would have adored your attention! Blessings, ~Wendy💜
