Thur, 22 Nov 2007 - Thanksgiving

Gabi,
..... I have bad news. I've lost Sergeant. On Thanksgiving day I didn't go outside @ 5:00 a.m. like I normally do. I didn't get out there until about 10-10:30. When I got to the barn I knew immediately Sergeant was colicking. We tried to keep him up &moving, he was almost falling on top of me. I called the vet (Gary), but it was too late.
Gary checked him out & his intestines had twisted. We had to put him
down....  I lost my baby boy on Thanksgiving day. I know he is in a better place now, but that still doesn't ease the pain Major & I feel. I didn't realize Major had buddied up to Sergeant that much, but he apparently did. Now he just hangs out by himself & will hardly eat.... I am very sorry to give you this news, Gabi. Sergeant had done this once before, but I caught it immediately & he was ok. This time, I didn't go outside when I should have & I lost him. We think he had been doing this all night. I was heartbroken & now Major is too. I hope the last 10 months of his life were very happy. He had buddies, he was in pasture & had plenty to eat & never had a harness put on him again. This was his retirement home & I really hope he was happy here.
