All Went Well

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.

    She knew it was time.
    It's good that you had someone there; saying goodbye takes up your whole soul.
