Thinking of You Today CPTrayes

Only just read post about Jazz. I am so sorry you had to make the decision to let Jazz go although it sounds like the right one for him (((hugs)))

Run free Jazz
 
Take comfort in the fact that you were brave enough to make the right decision for your beloved horse.

Hugs for you and run free from pain now Jazz.

xx
 
I am off to bed now to hopefully catch up on the night's sleep I lost last night. I have read every single comment on this thread and every single comment has been a real support to me today. Thankyou everybody.

Jazz had a wonderful morning loose on the yard with as much food as he could eat, able to talk to the other two, who were in a barn with door that they could speak over. He was full of his normal character, and apart from being very obviously semi-paralysed in the back legs, was clearly very happy to be home. The Huntsman came to chat to him and he went with him as if to a friend, and was gone in an instant. He never knew a moment's unhappiness this morning. I am grateful that the sun came out and gave him a beautiful last day, and that he knew nothing but good things from being back here today.

Now I need everyone's vibes for Ace, my baby dressage horse. He had the simplest scratch on his hock on Sunday which has suddenly turned into massive cellulitis pumping stinking pus from a tiny hole today. I am taking him for xrays in the morning and for a possible hock joint fluid tap in case he has infected the hock joint. As if I needed this right now!
 
Get a good nights sleep (the sleep that only the good and virtuous sleep :-))) and try not to worry about Ace tooo much. Things will be brighter in the morning and the hock might not be infected.

So glad things went well for Jazz and you today, as well as these things can ever be.
 
So sorry you had to make this desicion for Jazz, but it sounds like he had a wonderful last day with you. I hope I will be able to do the same for my girl when her time comes. Sending healing vibes to you and Ace.
 
So sorry for your sad loss, knowing how you must be feeling, and sending kind thoughts your way.
 
Thinking of you, you did right by him right until the very end, doesn't make it any easier right now I know, but you did the right thing for him xx
 
I'm so, so sorry to hear about Jazz :(
R.I.P. Beautiful Boy
Big Hugs to you CPT, I know how much it hurts.
Fingers crossed all is okay with Ace. Strong healing vibes are on their way from me.
Take care Xxx

I'm having a bit of a rough one tonight for one reason and another and that, CPtrayes, just made me snuffle... So very sad but also, about the best way any one of us, animal or human, could hope for when our time comes...

RIP Jazz...

Fingers crossed for Ace... Tagging a smiley face on seems a tad crass... Leaving it blank, seems a tad cold... Hope you know what I mean...
 
I have not seen your previous posts but wanted to send you my thoughts at this difficult time, the kindest thing that can be done as an owner and I hope i will be so brave when I have to make this decision when my boys time comes, my thoughts and best wishes for you and Ace. Take care all my thoughts piccy.
 
So glad Jazz had his last lovely day.Hope I can be as brave when the time comes too.Good luck with your dressage horse.They do choose their times don't they?
 
It is sometimes hard to understand why we keep horses that can put you on a high one moment and then bring you down to earth with a crashing fall the next.

We all hope that we never have to make 'that decision' but it enevitably comes at some point and is one of the most heart wrenching feelings ever.

You know you did your best for Jazz and you will have your memories. I;m sending vibes now for Ace. I'm sure he'll be fine. Best wishes xxxxxxx
