Bo...R.I.P
Bo at age 31 2009.jpg
It is a sad day for us...and I just needed to give old Bo his due. He was 32 years old and he was born here on the farm. He lived a wonderful life...had the best of everything. He carried my husband 100's of miles throughout the years, up on the mountains Elk hunting...and packed out many Elk. Bo was a character, and was always the 'boss'. He was a Morgan, and a gorgeous animal in his younger days.
Old age caught up with him, and he went down hill very fast over the past week or so...and it was time for him to find everlasting peace over the Rainbow Bridge....I think he is now chasing my mare Toy Moon around, because she was his favorite. We buried Bo right next to Toy Moon.
He'll be missed...my other horses have been calling all day, and that makes us even sadder. We loved the old boy, and I am hurting.
Bo-regard RIP

Very sorry for your loss. He sounded like quite a charmer. God bless those that care for the beasts and the children.

Joanied,so sorry for your loss. Judging by your posts the old boy was loved and you too in time will be at peace with his passing. My dad was my best friend and his passing years ago rocked my world but from his passing I remember one thing he always said each and every sunny day "look at this day it is going to be a great one". Every sunny day he's with me. Try and find a moment from Bo's life that will make you feel great each and every day.

Oh, thank you guys...so much. I appreciate your kind words more than you can know.
I just came in from feeding the horses...and putting away Bo's feed tub...the horses are still calling for him, and that just breaks your heart.
My big grey mare, Stately Morn, my matriarch, my rock, was there for me...I put my arms around her neck, and cried again...she just rested her head on my shoulder and I know she could feel my saddness.
Again...thank you so much for your kindness.

its very hard to lose someone who's been a part of your everyday life for 32 years .we had to put our dachsund down this time last year. we were very sad, but along came a perky little pup named lucky to fill that hole in our lives. i'm lookin at lucky everyday  bo was just as fortunate to have you in his everyday life. it was very hard to have blacky put down. he sat on the table and licked my wife and i until it was time. it was very hard.
