Damn, Damn, Damn

They had to put him down.

What a big, brave guy he was and bless his owners’ hearts for doing everything they could.
We’ve all been there having to make that decision. And tearing our hearts out.

   I just saw this. Quite sad. He had eight more months, though. Usually the horse has to be put down on the spot.

   Yes, he did, Diptera. That says feedbucket fulls about him and his heart. I was just reading this:

   Children draw crayon tributes, grandmothers bake apple fritters, grown men swallow hard, ministers preach of courage and spirit, press releases are updated with conclusions that the patient has a positive attitude.
   
   All of this for a horse.

   Yeah…all of it for a horse.

   That’s sad. No little Barbaros running around. Ever.
