Good morning. I sat and cried and smiled as I read each of your responses. I will thank each of you individually as well, for the outpouring of care here is immeasureable and does help. Such a long sad weekend. I carry her face in my head constantly, I miss her so much. I have "owned" horses for 19 yrs and thank God I never had a huge vet bill or horrible illness or even death. My heart broke each time I would read of someone going thru this but I never quite understood til now the absolute agony they felt. So thank you for sharing with me, for honoring my Treasure. She sure was a classy lady for a 3 yr old. I always said she was born with an old soul.
Sharon, your post about telling Miss Kitty just broke me to pieces. I loved that lil gal and you are so perfect for her. There will never be another one like her or her daughter Treasure. I always was amazed how a, what is she maybe 30" or so?, and a 29" stallion could create a 38" pony! I miss her soft mane, I miss brushing her and hearing her talk to me. Her stall is clean and stands empty and dark.
I hung her stall plaque that Linda made me on her grave. I see her each day, I know in time the hurt will heal and my heart will ache a bit less but it does feel so empty here now without her. The other 2 girls are quiet. They don't whinney for her at all. So we grieve together and I brush them tho Thera is not as accepting, she'd rather graze but my Halley will stand with me if I brush her and we hold each other in comfort.
Thank you dear forum. The PMs and even a call from Heather from Arkansas! on her way home from Nationals..and Ginny...thank you for offering Keesha back but you and I know she loves it there. She is queen, she has her king, and she rules your farm. The Betty Davis of minis should continue to winter where it is warmer and she can have a cookie whenever you walk from your house...but thank you for the generous offer. Marty gave me a great gift...she told me Micheal will find her in heaven and while crabbing about how she's a white horse and all the work she'll be he'll tuck her under his wing and watch over her and give her treats from his back pocket. I told Micheal how she loves to be brushed and she'd be a good girl for him. She's so lovely that all the pretty young girls in heaven will be drawn to my Treasure like a magnet and he'll be so popular.
Thank you all for your kindness it has touiched my heart more than you'll ever know.
