It sucks, but you are right, it is als...THANK YOU! It sucks, but you are right, it is also the right thing to do. Bampie is putting it off though and it is killing me. I know why he is...and with the weather fairly mild up here right now, he is just hoping for a feww more days with him. I am dreading that phone call when he finally does pick a date.......Thanks for the hugs, as I need them!Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-35270001292172442172008-10-20T23:27:00.000-04:002008-10-20T23:27:00.000-04:00Aww, what a sweet face! And what a cool old man, ...Aww, what a sweet face! And what a cool old man, too. I looked him up on USTA, and apparently he even raced as a trotter a handful of times! (He even raced on the track near me! Small world.)<BR/><BR/>Even though it's tough to make that decision, I'd rather see a horse go peacefully, before things get ugly, instead of suffering needlessly for months or years. I knew an old App whose owners should have put him down long before they did, but they waited until he couldn't get up on his own to make the call. They were my aunt's neighbors and we couldn't do anything but watch helplessly from our side of the fence. He spent a good two years looking thin, achey, and miserable. :(<BR/><BR/>I'm glad Volo got to live such a long, happy life. And I think it's great that he's going with all his new gear, too. ;) <BR/><BR/>Sending hugs and jingles your way...Now Thats A Trot!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04520915591652905807noreply@blogger.com
