Back on track soon.....Ramblings

[Carol]

I know I haven't been around much I've been really busy at work and was hit with a terrible tragedy last week. One of our horses got injured last Sunday night and I spent all my time and energy trying to save him and make him comfortable until I had to go out of town on Wednesday and my husband took over the duties. Unfortunately, before I could come home on Friday I had to agree over the phone with my husband to put our horse down and just couldn't get home in time to be there for it. However, I couldn't bear to think our angel would have to wait until Tuesday (tomorrow) to be out of pain. I also don't think we could have survived the wait anticipating having to let him go. Anyway I don't know if any of that makes sense. I'm still too torn up to write a tribute thread, but one will be coming.
I've still been too much of a selfish jerk to go and console my other horse that I'm sure is just as torn up about loosing our big buddy. I just can't bring myself to go there and not see Teddy there. On the other hand, he does share a pasture with two other horsey friends and they are probably all consoling each other over this loss. But I will make myself go and give them all a big hug tomorrow.

On the other hand, my breeding season is rapidly approaching and I need to concentrate on thinning the corn herd and getting ACR paperwork in order so I won't be back in force for sometime yet, but I am lurking. I may even decide to just relieve some stress by posting a few purdy pics in the photo gallery.
