With less than 3 days till x-mas I bet
some of you are trying to fight the crowds for last minute christmas
gifts and screaming at your computer for not having 1 day delivery
available anymore. Lucky for me I did all my shopping in 1 day and
now just have to find them to wrap them all up and haul them over to
my parents house. While I look forward to this week and seeing my
family there is going to be a dark could hovering over my mom and I
this holiday season.
I cant remember if I posted anything on
twitter, but my long dear friend Annie the horse had to be put down
last Monday. Ironically it was after I posted Monday's blog that I
got a call from my mom saying she could not get her to stand up.
When you cant get a large animal to stand up the odds are that they
will never get up again. She was suffering from arthritis and
cushion’s disease for many years and sadly over the past two months
her arthritis was causing her so much pain she could barley move
around. The humane thing to do was to put her down. My mom had
some neighbors help dig a hole to burry her in the arena and place
her in it.

Tuesday I went over for a few days to
comfort my mom and to help finish bury our poor horse. I've know
that horse for almost all her life, she came into our at the age of 3
years old after being abandoned in the Alaskan wilderness in the
middle of winter. She was 25 when she passed and one of the last
childhood pets. She was a good gentle giant who loved everyone she
meet. It's hard to say goodbye to a pet and especially one that has
been with your for over 20 years. Miss you Annie.
Sorry for the sad bit there, just
wanted to say Happy Holidays to you little bots. There will not be a
post on Friday this week but I will post something next Monday which
will be the last one of this year!
Have a holiday card from your Schad
Girl
see you on the other side
