It was a beautiful morning. I went to get Little Girl to bring her to the barn, but she was laying down. She didn’t seem to want to get up. I gave her a couple of apples and tried to encourage her to get up to no avail. I was worried that I had waited too long and she wasn’t able to get up.
Pep, the horse she likes the most, came over. I left and went back a little later. After I put the halter on her she finally decided to get up. I had let Hank, who always got in the yard, into the yard to graze. Once Dr Boyd arrived, she said I was doing the right thing. Everything went very smoothly with both horses. I was very thankful to have someone else actually give the injections so I could just concentrate on saying goodbye.

Awwww.....
She knew it was time.
It's good that you had someone there; saying goodbye takes up your whole soul.
Glad you could say goodbye with dignity and peace, the best gift for an old friend.
A moving post for a very difficult time.
