Last Saturday, our very old mare Virnessa was laid to rest. She is the horse in our Christmas pic from 2005. She was losing lots of weight over the last month. Grace has been faithfully feeding the horses for the last little while. It is her chore which she is very happy to do. We spoke to the vet about having her put down. The plan was to do it this week.
Well, last Saturday came and she was on the ground. She was too weak to get up. Thanks to a wonderful Grandpa Van Dyke, he followed through with the rest and she is now buried not too far of a walk from our cabin. The kids visited the grave with their Grandma on Sunday who told them about her good life and how it came to an end. She was probably close to 27 years old.
