You are so good with the four-leggers, my two legged friend. This made me very sad, and yet hopeful you can have more time with her. These inevitabilities of life do really suck. That yin and yang of being with, and then letting go, and the wonder if it is ever worth it. And of course, the answer is always yes. And this one, you really did save, and give an extraordinary life. Besides the obvious of daily love and devotion and hay, she got to see a MOOSE. Not many people can even say they've seen a Bullwinkle in the wilds. I'm happy for her, on so many planes. I shall never understand the mistreatment of animals, since all they give back is love. Even if you have a reason, due to life stuff you didn't sign up for, there is still no understanding of it. I'm so glad she got you in her life, and you have given her such a grand time of it. I'm hoping for more time, but understand that all you want is the best for her. My hero, the b'kat horse whisperer. Thanks for an emotional, and uplifting story, all in one. Cheers my two legged friend, The FlatPan of I Am
