Well." Without words " does not mean without ANY words. Just ones
that make sense of your post(s) for me, sorry.
For the record.....I am not politically prudent. Correct even. Ask Jeff. If
its great I say it and if it stinks I pretty much run around holding my
nose and screaming for someone to kill the skunk.
Also for the record : I have met Carol once. Around 11+ years ago at Libby.
Doubt she remembers. She put our picture in her book on Fjords, but said
that she didnt know WHO the horse was ( Fair Acres Juli ) and WHO the people
in the picture were. ( Jeff and I )
I have never quite forgiven her for that, as she properly identified every
other stinking horse and human in the book.
I SAW her at Winona, but we both were too busy to chit chat.
Using the scale of " killing " animals / pets, that you profess......I have
done it. Lots I guess. A 40 yr old Jack Donkey. The vet who knew him for at
least 25 of them, cried with us. We killed him at home surrounded by his
harum of jennys.
A total rib bucket old pony mare I bought for 50 bucks in Perris, CA. being
led down a street behind a station wagon full of kids. They threw in her
saddle, which she was wearing and was worth around 200 bucks. She ended up
costing me 3 X's that saddle in chow, teeth, worming and farriers. My vet said
that she saw 30 " a long time ago " We killed her on a late fall day when
she was fed ( a new thing for her ) fat, happy and loved. Cody ( 4 ) had
named her " Princess Di " '" cause she was going to die soon " We gave her 6
good months when it was said that she wouldnt last 48 hours.
We killed our beautiful Dalmation, Siren ( named that because she couldnt
hear sirens / DEAF as a rock ) after her hypothyroidism made her hair fall
out for the last time. Huge doses of Pregnisone no longer worked. A pink and
black spotted dog, she was a happy girl with that last carriage ride.
Missing an eye also AND stone deaf when we rescued her from the Norco Animal
shelter.....if I see her picture I fall apart. A good girl. A great dog.
I almost killed by Corgi, Chelsea, my constant companion of 16+ years, but
I didnt get a chance to. She died at home. Smart girl to the end....she
heard me make THAT appt.
We killed our mutt Sonic, a year ago when her cancer ( already surgically
removed once ) grew back with a vengence. Vet gave her 3 months. We gave her
2. She was with us for 12 years, a stray who walked up our driveway in CA.
and was the BEST dog. I ,oss her every day still.
We killed our beautiful grey mare, OH Verdig last month. She coliced
horribly and even with extreme measures all morning, we couldnt control her
pain.
Didnt think she would make it to Las Vegas in the heat and going down
despite drugs every 15 min. We killed her with an almost 3 month old colt at
her
side, knowing that HE might not make it either. He did.
My sons cat, Miss Kitty is 17. She slept on his face every night from a
one year old kitten who found us when she also walked up our driveway. No
claws, loves every dog she ever met, waltz's up to junkyard pit bulls dragging
chains that run by talk about 9 lives.....shes ok, but getting skinny and a
little slower, weaker. My son moved out to his own apt, and dispite his
comming and going here every other day, she mourns his move. We will see. I may
kill her this winter....next spring.....summer.....fall....
