We said goodbye to him very suddenly and unexpectedly last night. Charlie spent a gorgeous day outside in the sunshine, doing normal Charlie things. Then came in, ate his dinner, then had a sudden and extremely acute neurological event of some sort. We don't really know.
It felt like forever waiting for the vet, but in the grand scheme of things it was not a long, drawn-out protracted affair. There was no hand-wringing or uncertainty. I got to stay with him and reassure him that he truly was the best ever, and then we said goodbye.

Absolutely gutted for you. Though beautiful Charlie had a wonderful, wonderful life in large part thanks to you, and it sounds as though he had a swift and painless passing, this acute loss must be absolutely heartbreaking on every level for you. Thank you for being the kind of owner every horse deserves. My heart is with you <3
ReplyDeleteOh Emma. I am so sorry. He was the best and, even though I never met him, he came alive in your writing about your adventures. You gave him the best life. Thank you for sharing him with us. I’m glad you were with him. (((Hugs)))
