Godspeed.
None horse owners never understand this they are part of your family. They are all like little children that grew up with you as you got older so did they. It is so sad to loose a child even if it has 4 legs. Keep your heart open to others. It will be time well spent.
so sorry for such a rough time
its really hard to loose our beloved animals in close chronological time, we lost our dog and then our horse a month apart, it sucks
So sorry. I thought I’d had a bad month, I can’t even imagine losing all of those animals so close together.
When it rains it pours, but eventually it will get better.
Glimmerling, so sorry for your storm of losses. Your animals were blessed to have you, and I hope you feel that you were blessed to have 'em.
Glimmerling I’m so very sorry for your losses, that is just six too many. I’m just starting to get back my sanity after losing my two beloved dogs within a month of each other and I know how that’s sucked the life out of our entire family. We also sent our older fjord gelding out on a care lease to an excellent home with our vet within that same month but the “loss” of three of our five beloved animal family members was really overwhelming. Let us hope that the remainder of 2013 is much much kinder to you.
You could not have had better timing with this post. I was just thinking the same thing, and while “my” deaths were not quite as personal, they were exhausting. A dog was hit in front of the barn, and i was the only one who thought he shouldn’t be left on the side of the road. i was told to bury him, but having a micro-chipped dog myself i decided to take him to a vet and have him scanned-- the girl working knew him right away and contacted his owners. then i witnessed a horrifying euthanasia-gone-wrong. also not my animal. and today i found a baby bird in the arena. fell about 20 feet but seemed ok. i couldnt get him back into the nest so i foolishly put him in another nest, then came home and read about it. i’m sure it wont survive but i couldn’t just leave it there. he was on his back and i could see his little belly breathing. what do you do? caring sucks.
You have my most heartfelt sympathy, and admiration. I have rarely read such wise words from someone who has gone through as much loss as you have. They really affected me, and gave me the hope that always comes when finding a genuinely good soul out there in this world that can be all too cruel a place. Hugs, and strength to you.
I’m so sorry. I wish you the best in recovering from multiple blows. Let your animals heal you. They have noticed the losses, too.
I’ve only had to bury one horse this week, so I can’t say i know what you are going through. But you’ve got my sympathy.
Sorry for your losses and the burden that your gains, at times, represent. I can’t help but share, though, that since it occurred to me like a bolt from that blue that not every question deserves an immediate response simply because it was asked (referring here to the parents/students who were grilling you about diseases or causes of death). It is absolutely ok to mention that you’d rather not discuss it at the moment. If they persist, you can always mention google. People are inappropriate in human sickness too and demurring is appropriate if a question makes you uncomfortable. You have the right. Best to you.
