RIP Misty

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Well yesterday was a very sad day for us as we had to put our horse down. She was 24 years old mare and somehow she broke her leg this morning while in her corral. We went to go feed her and she was laying and couldn't get up. We spent the whole day with her and trying to get her to stand but she just couldn't. So around 7pm we had to make the call and had her put down. It was very hard on us as she was part of our family. I am just heart broken. It has been one tough day you know. I even held her and told her it was okay that she could go and that we all loved her but she kept holding on. She was in a lot of pain too. I felt bad as I spent the whole day with her and not the kids. I kept checking on them but I just didn't want them to see her like that you know. I was learning how to ride her and she was a great horse.. She loved apples and carrots.. It was hard on my husband as he was out there when they put her down. They think she had a stoke and that's how she broke her leg. But she was my best friend and we will miss her dearly. The kids are all sad as the loved her too.We only had one horse and now she gone.RIP Misty We love you.... 3

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. The loss of an animal can be just as devastating as a person, especially when they have been with you forever.
My family and I just had a loss of a very dear friend Monday night. He just turned 98 on Feb. 2. He lived a Happy and healthy life until 8 years ago when he was diagnosed with cancer.
My heart goes out to you and your family.

    Sweetie, I am so sorry for your loss. Your blog brought tears to my eyes. It is never easy to say goodbye to someone that you love and is such a big part of you. Each morning I get up to outside and feed. Each morning I tell myself that it is okay if this is the day that my beloved Rocky decides he want to go. We have been through a lot he and I. He is my best friend and the love of my life. He is also 35 years old, arthritic with cateracts in his eyes. He has never complained about anything. We have had some times when it was close; but he always pulls through. I know that your sweet one was so concerned about you and your husband than herself. She knew she was going somewhere wonderful and needed to be sure you would be alright. I take care of older horses and have over the years had to say goodbye. It never gets easy but it does help deal with the pain to know that they are in a wonderful place now and feel no pain. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers and go home to Rocky and tell about Misty.

    So sorry for your loss. I used to have a Arab mare named Suzie Q. I gave her away when I moved, but just recently found out that she passed away. It is very hard. I'm sure she will always hold a special place in your heart. emoticon
