Never Long Enough


It's always hard to say goodbye to our most favorite animals.  Bug was a bottle baby but I think her sweet nature and chattiness were natural.  She always baa-ed "hi" to us when we came in the barn and stomped over to get petted and scritched on. Thirteen years is a long time to tote around a hefty girl like Bug and her knees and hips reached a point where they just totally wore out and meds couldn't help any more.  With heavy hearts we asked our good vet to put her to sleep today.  Andy and I will both look forward to seeing her friendly face again in time.

  7. I'm so sorry for you all. Not only do you miss her, but her pals in the flock do too. You gave her a great, comfortable home, and did everything you could for her - including this last, most difficult and heart-breaking task. Virtual hugs to you all.

  11. Mercy is one of the jobs of love, as you know all too well. I'm so sorry for your loss. You must have worked very hard to get Bug comfortably through the winter! My thoughts are with you.
