One Year ago today!!!

I had to put my beautyful boy Gem Dandy to rest. I didn't know where else to put this, so I hope it's okay to put his pictures up again.

Gem was my first slaughter rescue (not CBER) and has taught me so much. He has helped me through a lot in the short 3.5 years he's been with me.

Arrow came to us 1.5 weeks before we lost Gem, and they became fast friends. I feel sometimes that Gem made sure I was okay before he went, and with Arrow joining us, he felt comfortable to leave us/me and to leave his pain.
We miss him terribly.

here is a picture of Gem at the feedlot (how could I not save this face)


and here he is happy and spoiled

So sorry. He was a beautiful guy.

He had very kind eyes, what a great guy. I am glad he got to be with you.

Swiss,
I remember when you lost Gem. It was right around the time that my first (and only, so far) CBER horse came to CA. It's hard, isn't it? I miss my old TB mare so much, and she has been gone 2 years now.
Remembering Gem and all the love he had for his momma.....

I remember it well too, it was only a few days after I lost my beloved Tate.

I also remember Gem...he really was a special horse. I'm so glad you got to spend time and love with him.

I'm sorry about your loss. It hurts so bad, there are no words to describe the pain when we loose our horses.

He was a very handsome guy, I'm sure he was so greatful for you. Thank you for showing him the love he deserved!

Wow, he was definately a Gem! I am so sorry, you must miss him terribly. He obviously had a great life with you as I can see from the pictures. It looks like two different horses. How amazing.
