Goodbye, my dear friend

[meezergal]

I'm trying to stay upbeat and positive this new year, really, but tonight I'm sad. I had to put Tiki down. He got cast (fell and couldn't get up without falling again) for the second time in a week. He's been arthritic for a long time. You may remember when I retired him. 

Now, dear Tiki, who taught me to jump courses, who took me to my first dressage show, who loved me so unconditionally and was there for me through so many, many bad times, is gone. I miss him already.

Oh Mummy-Kim, I'm so sorry for your loss! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} He's in a better place now with no pain, fields for acres and all the oats and alfalfa he can manage. ((((HUGS again))))

Thank you so much. Knowing I did the right thing for him is the only thing that helps me--I miss him terribly.

My biggest condolences to you Kim. It's been a hard year on you. *HUGS* I know what it's like to lose a horse all too painfully. If you need to talk, I'm here.

Thanks, Jazz. I know you know exactly what I'm going through. *hugs* He was the most amazing, lovable horse and the barn favorite. Everyone loved him, including the barn owners. I miss him so much, I can hardly stand it sometimes. :(

That's what friends are for, silly :) You'd do the same for me. I am always here to listen if you need an ear or a hug :)
