Flicka, my beloved horse, feels such a part of Pip - as so many of you know and love him - , even though he has been in Heaven for 6½ years - so I am sure nobody will mind if I announce that it is his birthday today.  He would have been 44 today.

Dear Diana,

Happy Birthday to your Flicka - and thank you for sharing such a part of your life with us.  Such a special part of your life, I should say.  My idea of heaven is to die someday and be with all the animals that I have loved and that have loved me.  Won't that be wonderful?  

Know how much you mean to me and I am thinking of you often.  You are a warm, kind and beautiful woman.

Love,
Alison

Thank you Alison for your kind message, for your kind thoughts of me and your birthday wishes to Flicka and especially for loving Flicka.  

Yes, being with all the animals we have ever loved and have loved us in Heaven will be wonderful.  In fact, it will be Heaven!  Smiles.

Thanks for understanding Maureen.  I don't know the exact date of his birthday, but we made the day he became mine and my children's, his birthday all those years ago.

In Angel Numerology, 44 represents the angels! ~ How fitting for our Flicka turning 44!
I know he wouldn't mind that I missed the anniversary of the day of his birth, for in heaven there are no clocks, so to speak!

Blessings of love and Light to you, Dear Diana, and your heavenly sidekick!

Happy 44th birthday, Flicka ~ my 'spirited' friend!

Thank you Linda for your beautiful message.  

No, of course, Flicka won't mind that you missed his birthday because that gives him the excuse to have another day of celebration today.

Happy Birthday in Heaven for dear Flicka! I do not doubt that it was a great celebration as Flicka has so many friends up there and I trust also my cat King Mizar I enjoyed the party.
It fills my heart with joy that you have this precious bond, dear Diana.
A caress to Flicka and a hug to you!
Love,
Margherita

Oh, Margherita, what a beautiful picture!  Thank you so much.  The horse and the cat are beautiful.  It is so typical of Flicka as he loved/loves cats so much.  In fact one of his best friends was Honey Cat, one of the cats at the stables who often used to walk with Flicka and me in the last 10 years of his life when I had retired him and walked him every day from the ground.  

I know that your darling King Mizar I must be one of Flicka's best friends and will have enjoyed the party with him immensely.

Flicka enjoyed your hugs!  Thank you so much for loving Flicka.

Love
Owl

Thank you Roniece for your very sweet message.  I am sure he is resting in peace - but also galloping all over the Heavenly meadows as well and having fun with all his animal and people friends, Bones, along with them.

We know Flicka had a happy birthday in those heavenly pastures he now romps through... I hope YOU enjoyed the comfort of your memories, dear lady. *S* I feel honored to share a birthday with him... and since he likes cats, I'm sure your friend has met many of mine. *S*

Thank you Yann for enjoying my sharing the memory of my darling Flicka and for the wonderful things you said about him and for birthday wishes for him.  

I wish you had known Flicka too.  You would have loved him and he would have loved you.  Everybody loved Flicka - people who didn't know horses, people who didn't like horses, people who were afraid of them - he just drew everybody to him - and he loved everybody back - and all animals, especially dogs and cats.  He was/is Love personnified.

Thank you Ruth, for your lovely message. Smiles.  Yes, Flicka will have had a very happy birthday romping in the Heavenly fields with his friends.  He also will feel honoured to share a birthday with YOU!  Flicka will have met ALL of your cats, except of course Kate and Colin (and I hope it will be a very long time before they go to Heaven) and they will be great friends - he doesn't just "like" cats.  He loves them and they love him back.
