Oh Del, What can anyone say at a time like this?  I'm so so sorry.  I guess they decided to take their last journey together.  They must have known that you'd ultimately be strong enough to endure losing both of them so close together.  I'm so sorry.  Thank Goodness there are people like you in the world.  You face so much, you do so much for so many.  Bless you for being willing and able to keep your heart open, to face such sorrow and bring so much peace, joy and comfort.  So many tears... Love and hugs to you, Nina Del H.

He threw another saddle clot Sunday night but rallied, then Wednesday night threw another and it was downhill from there.  He was not going to survive when he continued to throw these clots frequently while on the meds and his heart was inconsistent.  Ten minutes before he died Lightning Bug, his sister, lay in front of his crate for five minutes his head was right next to hers, like they were sharing unspoken thoughts before he moved on.  He and Effie used to look at each other in admiration through the screen door, now they are finally playing together. It's hard losing two in a week.  Del
