Sorry Fred... You have to do what's needing doing. Doesn't make it fun or easy... Make it quick and painless for Star, then shed a few tears and know she's no longer struggling or in pain.

RIP Star

One of the hardest elements of a loving owner is doing what we must.

So sorry to hear this...but as others have said ...you're doing what's right for her even if it's hard on you.

I haven't updated things for a couple of days now, but I've been jumping thru quite a few hoops to get to my agenda. However, have no fear....Star is still with us and isn't having issues since I posted.....in fact, she has had 2 decent days and am hoping that it continues as I get things ready. It seems these days that anything I do just turns into a fiasco....tho, with all the distractions, I guess the timing just isn't right yet. Since the rider mower is still not working....I had to get the push mower out to cut the grass in the area that I plan to dig in....the grass was above knee high and has a ton of nut grass there.....it would've been rather difficult to dig there with just a shovel....so, I did that yesterday....and while I had it down the hill, there was no need to bring it back up the hill with gas still in the tank....so utilized it and cleaned up an area that has been on the list since winter.....well, I started to struggle with breathing and muscles were cramping.....the sweat covered my trifocals and everything was a blur....until I started seeing flashing stars....well, I knew it was time to stop and get to the shade.....I did and got my senses back, but still haven't dug the hole, yet..........there was some uplifting happenings yesterday....the neighbor ran over field 1&2 with his bush hawg, so at least it got cut....and buys me some time to get the rider running again.....

Wow - glad Star is still having decent days! She didn't want you to dig that hole... This heat is not only ridiculous - but dangerous as you well know. Take care of yourself! Thank goodness for good neighbors!

Yeh....I sure hate to dig it too.....she is a tuff ole girl and sweet as can be......

Maybe that tough ole girl ain't ready.

It's great to have a good neighbor!!! That cut sure makes you feel better, I know. Wonderful that he could do it and knew you needed the assist.
