    A winding down of life.

    Friday, I used the last of the 50 pound pound bag of dog food. We only have one dog left. Holly went to the Rainbow Bridge almost a year ago. Snickers went to the Rainbow Bridge a month ago. He's 18 and half years ago, a tri-pod . He gets treadmill water therapy, Adquean injections, massage and cold laser therapy. I bought a six pound bag, because there is no need for the big bags anymore.
    My all time favorite horse, went to the Rainbow Bridge in April. I had her leased out to a young lady who is learning how to ride. I have been putting off going to that training barn to get the rest of her things. It was very hard. I do have another horse there that is being leased out as a school horse ( also known as a school master)
    It's too much, yet not enough.

    After Zio goes to the Rainbow bridge, we have decided to take a break from dogs for a bit. Its been tough dealing with old dog issues and having a veterinarian shortage, which makes it hard to get in on short notice.

    I am so sorry. I know how difficult that is. Within 2 years I lost 4 old dogs and 2 good friends that were married. It was a terrible time.

    That is a lot to cope with, Boss mare. Sorry for your losses of animal family.

    Vets in short supply seems to be happening elsewhere. Someone explained that the pandemic created such a demand for pets that vet offices were overwhelmed with new patients.

    It seems these tragedies always come in clusters. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

    You have my sympathies. I almost lost my faithful Bloodhound Elvis twice over the past few months, and the vet care currently available here is limited at best. I think he may be my last pet for a while.

    I understand; I've had enough of avoidable tragedies.
