BLUE (if you're not into sad stuff you might want to skip this post)

I had the sad duty this morning to take Blue to the vet and have him put to sleep.

I had Blue for a little over 16 years from the time he was 6 weeks old.

He was a good companion, true and loyal,never in all these years did he disappoint me. He was a great playmate to my two boys growing up,protective towards strangers but gentle with the livestock, especially the baby's, from newborn goats to chicks.He accompanied me on many , many miles riding my horse through the woods while he was younger.He had a good,long live ,never missed a meal.He will be greatly missed.

Bye old buddy,may you have lots of rabbits to chase and hot dogs to eat at your new forever home.

How beautifully you write about Blue, how wonderful that he lived with you and your family and it was a good life to share. Your heart must ache for this loss - when my 15 year old cat died last year I was grieving for a few months, it was like losing a family member - do take care of yourself, and take time to grieve, and remember, and say goodbye. Hugs.
