It sounds really corny, but in all of the pictures you've ever posted of him [here or on forums] he's just looked so content and happy. You gave him a full, happy life. I know a lot of people that would have said no way to a horse that has problems with colic. You are really one of the best horse owners I've ever met [or not met really.]. You give your boys everything. My heart goes out to you during this really hard time. It really sucks that they can't just stay with us for forever. But I like to think that they stay just the right amount of time. *hugs x10*

Thanks so much - that means a lot.

Corey was - and will continue to be - the most special and beloved being in my life. He has left a hole in my soul... the kind that I don't think ever really heals just right. But, knowing I did for him the very best, last thing I could gives me a certain kind of sad peace.

I truly believe he has himself a pair of wings. Thanks again for your kind words and thoughts.

I'm so, so sorry to hear this. I know what it's like to lose a horse you love so much.

But like plebayo said, every time we saw Corey in pictures, he was so fit, healthy and content with life. You gave him a full, beautiful and loving 6 years, and for that I know he will always be thankful. You are a wonderful owner, and did everything you could for him.

I know it's hard, but at least keep knowing that you have such good memories with him.

I'm very very sorry Anna. I know the extreme fear that I have about losing Rabbs, but I can't imagine the pain you're going through actually having lost your best friend. I'm so sorry... at least he had a wonderful quality of life while he was here, and never could doubt how much you love him.

Oh my gosh that's so sad. I had to put a cat down a year or two ago and it was the worst day of my life. Still feels like yesterday sometimes. I can hardle imagine what it'll be like when the time comes for my mare. Hopefully she has a lot of good years left.

Saw you in the friends list of an an aspiring jockey, by the way, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi. Hi. Hope you're in a better place about this by now, as I see you're like me and only update sporadically. :)

Thank you for your kind words.

I don't know that I'm in a better place with the whole ordeal, but I deal with it better than I used to. Maybe that's what you meant? I still have many bad days.

I actually update this thing a ton, but most of my entries are Friends Only. I'll add you to the list, and if you feel like reading you can :)
