protractorboy's Journal, 20 October 2011

Vet came out yesterday. Not a good visit.

We get to look forward to nursing an abscessed hoof back to health. I think the transormation has finally been made. Our daughter is more interested in her petty life than her horse. They're our horses now.

My pony is terminal with an agressive cancer. I have to find the strength to do the right thing for him before he suffers. I am not strong enough but I have to be for that little guy that has seen so much bad in life. I gave him a great life for a while but the hand that taught him to trust humans again will have to hold him while he is put down. Somehow there's no justice or comfort in that.

Didnot record my food yesterday. I don't have to knowing I ate because I was upset. Even I can cut myself some slack for a very bad day. Today is a new day. No looking backward. What's done is done and its back to work. Stay strong and pray for more strength.

Sorry to hear about that. Sometimes four legged creatures have that special ability to touch our hearts and it's so hard to let them go. At least the pony will not suffer that way and you won't have to suffer longer either by watching him go through the horrible ordeal of having cancer. Sometimes the most compassionate thing to do is to let them go. I hope you do find some comfort somehow. Just keep looking ahead and trudge on, there are better days in your future.
