IKR! And welcome to the world Baby Gumdrop!I've already said this on Facebook but...
I just want to send you hugs so badly.And after having bragged on her and gushed about her. I have to sadly tell you all my Sweet Baby Gumdrop is no more. She just went to sleep and was gone. The vet says it happens sometimes. To say that I am sad doesn't define the devastation I feel. even now several days later. I just needed her so badly if it makes sense. My life has been so hard this year. I lost my mom, I'm losing one of my dearest friends to cancer and I just needed that beautiful bright little light in my life. And I was so cowardly I didn't even want to come tell you all, knowing she'd made you all happy too. I don't know why we're sometimes given something so wonderful but only briefly. It's not that I've never had foals born here. Just never one like her. She was so small and so precious and I can't explain the unmitigated joy she brought me. I would go out every night and watch her sleep. I would sit with her in my lap and breathe in her lovely mane. It smelled so pure happiness to me. I had plans for her, that she would be my companion and I would make her little hats and then she was gone. And I am heartbroken and hurt over it.
In fact, I hate this whole year. because I also finally found my brother Don. I told some of you he was estranged from the family. He was adopted and wanted his birth family and he left to find them no matter what. It seems his search led him to his death perhaps. I was contacted by a police detective in South Dakota that my phone number was found in a wallet near human remains on the Pineridge Reservation. My brother Don had last been seen with a Lakota woman at a powwow in Oklahoma and he suspected he was Lakota but his adoption papers were sealed so we didn't really know. All I know at this point is they have remains and his wallet. I know in my heart that they are Don's, but I'll have to wait until they run all the tests. His ring was also found with the bones. They've been there for years apparently. Which is so awful. We've been searching for him, and he's been gone. Which is what my aunt has sworn all along. She said he would have called us but I guess he couldn't. It is not the ending I wanted for him. He drank, he did drugs. He fought. But I loved him. And think ing he died alone and uncared for is beyond me. I just want to bring him home. My uncles are trying to arrange to get him, but it's possible he was murdered. His remains will be evidence. My brother is in a box on a shelf and maybe died thinking we couldn't love him because we were not his blood but we were. And I will never get to tell him that now.
Then I killed a puppy. It's true. It was an accident and I hate myself but it all culminated with me killing a poor little pup because I wasn't careful. I'm so lost I just shoved the door of the guest room at my other house open. It was stuck and I never though tthe puppies I had brought in would be right behind it. When I pushed it open it went right over the top of the little runt and trapped him under the door. My aunt is deaf and Cameron wasn't with me so I had no one to call for help. I struggled to safely get the poor little puppy out from under the door. But the damage was done. He died before I could even find a vet on the phone at that late hour. I didn't mean to. I work to save puppies, not kill them. And that feels like my whole life right now. Every good thing I try to do I kill or it just dies anyway. I shouldn't even write this, but here it is.
Aw gawd, I think I got sick with the adorable names. The momma is Burrito and he is Queso? Daaaaaaaaaaw!Thank you, tula. Someone had dumped off the mom and three puppies a couple of weeks ago. They just rolled them out of their truck and sped off. One pup died within a few days. The one I hurt... I just never intended to hurt the poor little guy. He was so sweet and cute. He would've been easy to adopt out. The mom, I dunno. She's pretty unhappy (which I would be too if someone dumped me and my babies in the country), so i might not adopt her out. I might need to keep her. The last puppy though, he's seeming pretty healthy. I need to give him a good, promising name so he'll have a wonderful future. I call his mom Burrito. Maybe I'll name him Queso.
I should post a pic. You gals can name him!
