Woody, the QH that was boarded with me had to be put down Friday. He was an old man, 31 yo, with a multitude of health problems. The last few years have been a wild ride coping with his health problems. It was obvious last week it was time to let him go.

I knew the little man his entire life. We had some ups and downs in our relationship. He was "energy efficient" (lazy) and hated that I made him work in his younger days. This last year he had a personality change. We ended up bonding. I miss the little turd.

I just have my horse left. He is well into his 20s so I don't know how much longer he'll be here.

In addition to the sadness over Woody I'm grieving the loss/passing of a huge part of my life. I've been involved with horses for over 60 years. Lots of memories are bubbling to the surface.

Sorry for your loss.

"Memories bubbling" made me think - i have at least one coffee mug from every place ive worked as a computer programmer, so a honking box full of memories.
