R.I.P. Sugar

*lights come up one at a time, revealing a lone being standing on stage, slowly he raises his head until it is in perfect position, his eyes open, looks around, then stares straight at the audience, he takes a few slow deep breathes, opens his mouth, and says...*
This morning, the vet came to my house, and put our good horse, Sugar to sleep. She lived to be 30-years old, that's way past how long horse-owners usually keep theirs, however she started having a number of problems which caused her not to eat as much as she used to; she lost almost all her teeth, she didn't eat all of her food, and just a week ago her leg started hurting to where she couldn't put any weight down on it.
It is sad that we had to put her down, but we didn't want anything worse happening to her; such as her falling down hard, and never be able to get back up, then coyotes would be able to get her. She's been a really good horse for all these years, and it's hard to see her go. ;_;
The vet was kind enough to cut part of her tail hair off and braid it for us to keep. I know I shouldn't be crying because she's leaving, but it's just so hard when you've known someone for so long, and you don't want to part with them. However, I know that she is in a better place, where she isn't suffering anymore, and maybe one day I'll get to see her again. Thank you all for listening, and I want you all to do me a favor. Tell your friends, family, pets, whoever, that you love them and are grateful that you have them in your lives. I'll see you later.

sounds like she had a good life and was ready to go. don't feel bad because she's gone. feel happy that she's no longer in pain and you gave her a long good life :)

Breaks my heart whenever I hear a story like that. For us, they are like family and our children. I am a cat owner, but I know how you feel. Even though they do bad things that upset you, tell them you love them , because they won't be there forever. I am sure you enjoyed the time you had with her and I am also sure the feeling is mutual. Hang in there. *hugs* -Ravio
