Ted vibes please

Omg I love the beard, hopefully the pictures and memories are helping and a little smile is making it through all the heartache!
 
lovely pic of the boy, he will be missed by all, especially you....at least if you get bloods done it will make you relax about the others...hugs...
 
Bloods all done - bit of nail-biting for the next day or so now, although they all look the picture of health, so I'm relatively confident!
 
So so sorry Aus, my welshie had liver damage, luckily caught when she was in the vets with colic so had the heads up to treat it but I still panic if she's a bit under the weather or quiet. Its scary how quickly it can progress in the little ones!

Ted was very lucky to have found you x
 
l'm sure that the bloods will come back ok, l think when you lose a horse or pony suddenly things go through your mind wondering what, why & if. l did when my boy died & there wasn't anything that anyone could have done. I'm just glad that Ted came into your life as he was lucky to have you.
 
Realised I hadn't updated re the bloods from the others. Thankfully, all came back fine, so I stopped beating myself up about it possibly being my fault!
Looks like the chronic liver/worm damage did for him - all the signs are that the symptoms got a bit too much for him, and he developed Hyperlipaemia, which I now know that Shetlands are very prone to as a response to stress.
Thank you all again for your posts/messages - they helped me through a rotten time.
 
what a relief for you. you did your best for the little chap and im sure he really enjoyed his time with you. look after yourself and try and look back and smile....
 
So pleased the others' bloods are all ok. Been thinking about you x
Ps. The beard pic is the best thing I've seen all week 😆

So glad that you got an answer to help you come to terms with this. I've got two of my own but I still miss Ted. Heaven only knows how you feel.
 
Somehow I missed this. Ted, I hope you are causing plenty of mischief.
Aus, you are a wonderful person & he had a great time with you. Sending love.
 
Oh god Aus... I have a little car at last, I'd have come and beaten you up if I'd known you thought you could have been at fault. Not a bleddy chance the way you care for those horses woman.

Look, some of us end up with the heartache of other people's neglect...usually while they carry on with unaffected horses, none the wiser to the damage they caused.

Ted was an absolute credit to you as was clearly evident to all. Just wish I'd got to see him more myself. Xx

Totally agree couldn't have said it any better 🙂 hope you're feeling abit better Aus understand it'll take time to recover from your loss
 
Just reading about little Max and learnt about Ted, didn't want to to post on the other post.
Don't know how I could have missed it.

I am so very sorry about Ted, he was such a character. He will be missed by all.

I count Aus as a very good friend...to think of Ted and Max running off and causing havoc together somewhere brings nothing but a smile to my face and I hope Aus too. One cheeky Shetland and one grumpy Exie making mischief together x
 
So sorry for your loss :( His cheeky face will be dearly missed by so many people. But you did everything you could for him.

Both you and GG are two of the most kind hearted and caring horse owners I (sort-of) know. It's very inspiring.
 
So much for getting myself together! I just opened Facebook, and an advert popped up on my timeline for a shetland, who was the absolute spitting image of Ted - total doppelganger. I blubbed!
 
Well, blubbing every now and then is not strange - it's little things like that which take you by surprise.
I was also very sorry to hear about Ted. My favourite photo of him has to be the one where he is picking his way carefully and methodically through the strands of fencing, to get to the side he was not supposed to be in. <g>
