I don’t know what to say – I’m still having a hard time accepting what happened to MoonShadow. I look out my office window and he’s not there grazing. I see Little E standing by the fence by himself – he and MoonShadow were good friends. In the mornings MoonShadow and Little E could be found at the workshop door – an entryway to the feed room. MoonShadow was doing so well and we’d just started looking for a forever home for him.
Colic is such a dreadful thing and for MoonShadow it struck quick and it was very painful. You could see it in his eyes – I felt helpless. At the hospital we learned that his gut had twisted and the prognosis was grim. We released MoonShadow to cross Rainbow Bridge – where on the other side there would never be pain or hunger or hurt again.
When he came here in late April he was skin on bones and depressed. He filled out nicely in less than 2 months. He was happy and content – he knew love and kindness.
I’d like to thank everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. If you have emailed me and I haven’t responded I apologize. I’m moving a bit slow and trying to pick myself up and find some good in what happened. But so far I haven’t found any good about it – only sadness – emptiness. I know we shouldn’t question why God makes the choices he does but still – I want to scream and ask “WHY???” MoonShadow had come so far.
We love you MoonShadow – until we meet again fly with angel wings and know that you are greatly missed. I’m sorry, my friend, that I couldn’t take away the pain. I’m sorry we didn’t get to find you that perfect forever home. I’m sorry I can’t reach out and touch your beautiful face. But I am very grateful for the time that you were with us – you are loved by many.
Our MoonShadow runs with his friend Twilight now and the rest of the heavenly herd.
