Amazing Grace


You know some days terrible things happen - things that make you want to wish that that day could just somehow undo it, so that you could re-live it so that it could be replayed differently.

A couple of weeks ago I had one such day. I went out to feed my horses and found my horse gravely ill. This was my friend, my pal, my riding buddy, Amazing Grace, or Gracie as she was affectionately known by me and most people.

Gracie appeared to be waiting for me and within about 1/2 an hour of me finding her that morning, she died, with myself and my daughter Anastasia by her side.

Gracie was so special to me and I miss her terribly. Give your special pets an extra pat today and every day - you never know when it is time for them to go - Gracie was just 9 years old.
