Little Jackie's life ended in the wee hours of Friday morning. He had been steadily declining this summer and even with recent daily fluids he couldn't go on. I didn't serve him well by letting him linger and for that I hope I will be forgiven. It was through my own selfishness that I just wasn't dealing with the severity of his illness. I always think I can make things better but such was not the case this time.
I'll miss his super soft "rabbit fur" and his quiet ways. He was my shy guy--who only recently came out of his secret world to join us in a way he hadn't before. I am so thankful he could share himself and be comforted in the final weeks of his life.

Sherri,
I am sorry for your loss...I got that way with my 24 year old mare, she foundered and bowed both of her flexor tendons but I put hundreds of dollars into her before I could say goodbye....I understand and yes, they forgive us......
It's always hard to lose a pet. I hope you get through it okay! Best wishes!
