Oh Rio -- *hugs you tighly* it's never an easy thing to hear, and I know I always dread the day a decision like that comes my way again, it truly is heart wrenching. It's never easy to think about, but I know when there is a beautiful day outside, I always smile and think of my horses up there (especially Jimmy, whom I lost the end of the last year), and see him galloping around like a maniac up there in the clouds in endless meadows of grass and fresh water -- no doubt Jimmy would be one of the horses right there in the middle pawing and playing and getting muddy! I know thinking like that gives me a little strength, and I know it gave me a LOT of strength when I was coming to terms with loosing him just 2 days before my 21st.
Dam those horses and us getting so attached to them!! They always make it super hard when the time comes to say goodbye. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Rio....</i></font>
