King May 1, 1986 – December 4, 2009 The day was like any other day do the small things around the house get dressed to go outside feed the horses first then clean the poop the time will fly by before you have to go to work when you get to the barn something is not right you feel it all around you the eyes tell it all you are missing some eyes you look in the back there he is lying on the ground you call to him he rolls his head looks back at you you know he is sick you run to him and you know his eyes tell it all he has been down all night you get him up go to the barn all the signs are there but you make the call on the ride to the vets hoping you are wrong please be wrong at the vets waiting at the door are the interns and vets waiting for you to unload him you get him off they start working then the answer comes surgery or nothing his age is against him it comes back on you what do you want to do you know what pain he will have you know what you have to do Old friend the time has come we must say goodbye I will take you home that is where you belong you have a special place to be always close to me at home I made a promise to you years ago that you would never be with another you gave me many good years O the many miles of things we’ve seen I will miss talking to you and those big eyes and your big heart others know you and loved you you will be missed by many.
