The Riderless Horse...


It is with deep sorrow that we report the loss of " Old School".
As with many commenters on Oreo, we know the person through here, and sometimes we know them other ways and don't make the connection..... Such was the case with " Old School" a long time follower and commenter at Oreo's Place. Her insight and straight forward approach were an asset to the pet world. We never take anybodys help for granted , we know that many times it's a threat to the persons job security to come forward and state their mind; and we are happy to provide a safe haven. Old School had been ill for some time apparently, I had missed her posts but was happy to see her visits. She remained interested in things animal till the end. Thank you to the person who contacted us and for the kind words you shared. We will continue at Oreo's, one small step at a time to speak for the animals.
This sweet old gal crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few weeks ago, perhaps her new rider is coming.

Such sad news. May God bless Old School's family.

She left young children behind. The animal communuity is being very supportive, but letting them have privacy. I know she was happy for the upcoming meeting and wished she could be there. She had provided me with a list of concerns which I will pass on to Oreo before Tuesday.

Thank you volunteer, somebody sent me a "don't post" with several items that seemed like they would have come from Old School. They were things she cared deeply about and I will be certain they get brought up. We all know St. John is going to avoid direct responses.
