Pray for lisa and her mom, we putting down one of our horses today

[bamabassman]

no they are not in medical trouble.
today we are putting down one of our horses. GAZELLA ROCHELE is her name but we all call her ROSIE or MAMA ROSIE. she is 27 years old, a bonafide EGYTIAN/ARAIBAIN mare. (forgive my spelling please). she is the sweetest of the 3 we have and the oldest. ol ARTHURITIS has finally gotten her as it did our gallie-man. she can hardley walk from the pain in her rear end. when she lays down to roll, it takes us to help her get up after she has tried for over 20 mins on her own. thought many times she just wouldn't get up. but she does.
anyway, lisa and her mother will be having a very hard time, me as well. i will miss going out into the pasture and jsut giving her a big ol hug. she is the only one that would ever jsut stand there and let you do that. she loved it as much as me i think. she loved kids too. would walk ever so softly with a kid on her back. we ahven't rode her in 5 yrs or so cause she was getting on in years.
she has given birth to one of our other horses, DIAMOND. and she had another daughter previously called SALLY. sally is gone now, trailer accident when my dad sold her, so she will be waiting on her mother we think.
it's always har dot do what is right with a pet. but we all know it is time for this old girl to rest. she has done enough for us. she will be sorely missed.

so if oyu folks would say a prayer for my wife and her mother, they will need it over the next few days. ROSIE was the favorite as far as a "pet". would let oyu do anyting to her without any trouble.
i thank you folks from the bottom of my heart.
