Rememberance To Whiskey

[luvnarabs]

I wanted to share a little about the little mare, Whiskey, that was lost this past summer.
Whiskey was a gorgeous Anglo-Arab that my husband had purchased. When Whiskey came to us, she was a mess. She had been in an abusive situation.
When my husband pulled up in our driveway and said that he just bought a cute mare...I was eager to see who was joining the "clan". I peered into the trailer and immediately started crying. Whiskey was at least 300 lbs underweight and full of lice! I could not believe my eyes. We spent day and night with her...grooming, feeding, medicating...nursing her back to health. When she finally gained her weight back...she was amazing! Her attitude was awesome..she loved kids. She was so well-trained and "dog" gentle..the kids all rode her everywhere.

This past summer, she had started to lose weight (dramatic weight loss) and the vet diagnosed her with kidney failure. She was put to sleep to ease her suffering.

I will always remember those big brown eyes! She was an angel sent to us!

She was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have had the chance to love her. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Whiskey. They leave a huge hole in our hearts, but every day, it gets just a tiny bit better.

Sorry to hear of your loss. The ones we have to work for, are often extra special.
