Heartbroken 💔

I can’t believe I am making this type of post twice, less than a year apart 😔.

Let me first say, I have loved all of my animals equally and with all of my heart. But for two of my babies – my dog Storm, who passed years ago, and my horse Sabre – I knew in my soul those two were meant to be mine. It was love at first sight with both of them. Those two had my heart in a way I cannot express.

And this past weekend, I said goodbye to a part of my heart because I had to have my beautiful Sabre put to sleep 💔💔💔💔💔💔.

The details aren’t important. It was a decision made with the help of her vet, who has taken such good care for her these past 9 years. I just thought I had more time with her 😢.

I was told she transitioned peacefully. No, I wasn’t present, my vet recommended that I stay away and after reading about the ways an owner could be traumatized, I agreed to let her and my horse border handle it. Plus witnessing the death of two pets in one year is a lot.

I said my goodbyes the day before, taking our final pictures. She was a beauty 😍.

So, this may be the only post this week because it’s been hard to keep the waves of grief at bay.

Even though it was the right decision, making that decision that sucks no matter how you slice it.
