I'm sorry to update the topic this way, but I have some bad news about my family. We've had a rough weekend having lost three of our beloved animals over the past 4 days. On Thursday night, my mom's elderly horse, Apollo passed away at the ripe old age of 32 after battling kidney problems for almost two years. Friday night we had to make the heart-wrenching decision to put my sister's horse, Apache down after she suffered a major injury to her left hind leg that would leave her either paralyzed or at risk for a very serious infection that could spread very quickly. And this morning, I lost my first pet, my 21 year old goat, Suede due to old age. I miss them all terribly, but they aren't suffering anymore.
RIP Apollo (April 9, 1983- September 17,2015), Apache (May 13, 2001- September 18, 2015), and Suede (August 12, 1994- September 20, 2015).
