Many of you will remember my pony Princess Sparkles, who hurt her leg a couple years ago and has been lame since. It is with a heavy, broken heart I must report that Sparkles has lost her battle to live.
Her injury became more burdensome to her and as result, I had to have her put down. And worse, with her went my special needs pony Little Thunder. You guys probably remember her as well. She was born February last year and her mother Jewel abandoned her after a month and a half. I bottle feed her and put her in with Sparkles, but as time went on, her condition deteriorated. The vet decided she didn't have long, and without Sparkles her life would be a lonely misery. They were put down together and lie at rest together. Losing them both has been nothing short of gutting. Their empty pen is a constant reminder of them.
I hate to come with bad news, but everyone was so supportive when she was injured, I thought you all deserved to know that it is over. I feel like I gave Princess Sparkles a few years she wouldn't have had otherwise. I hope I did the right thing. She seemed content. She went out with her little Thunder at her side. I can't think of what else I could have done.
