Today was his last day. A woman tried to hide her tears, she fooled only humans trying to hide her sadness as she waited on the vet. This was the last job she was to do for this loyal childhood best friend. Spangles would live forever. Embedded in the memories of so many children having their first sit on a pony, first trots, canters, and too many other joyful memories to ever be forgotten.
The glossy coat had faded, now showing speckles of white, with ribs sticking out. Not neglect, just impossible to keep weight on such an oldie.

I still remember my first pony and horse rides and the memories fill me with the warm fuzzies. That was a looooong time ago.

My eyes are filled with tears for her, Shona. Ponies, dogs, cats, donkeys etc, they all leave little holes in ones heart. Thank goodness for wonderful memories.

As an animal lover, like Sandra tears brimmed. It is so hard for us to let them go. Comments are closed.
