Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[knoturavggrl]

Situation with Chaco is now over. Yes I am understandably upset about this whole thing. But I believe that I have done the right thing regarding her. She was such a sweet princess horse, and didn’t deserve to get sick. I’m okay with my decision. But yes I’m terribly sad about it too. I just need to finish some paperwork. Glad I have lots of pictures of her to remember her by.

I am so sorry for your loss and for the weight of the decision you had to make. May all those we lose be waiting for us at that beautiful rainbow bridge.

Such sorrow the past few days have been for some of us my heart aches for everyone who has lost dear fur and feathered friends.

I sometimes wonder if whomever said ‘it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’, had it right. Sometimes I feel that ‘you don’t miss what you don’t know’ is more appropriate. But then we wouldn’t have met special friends and enjoyed such wonderful times.

You all are making me cry

Stay strong, I will not enable goats. They are escape artists. I deal with Russ who has to be tied into his stall as he can open gates and let himself and other horses out of their stalls. Thankfully, he has yet to let Dirt out.

Oh Truly is a bad one, she opens gates, doors, can untie knots… And she lets the others out also!

I forgot to warn the place I board in the winter when I am away at work, I went there one day and they were fixing her stall door they were wondering what happened - it had run off the track like it had closed too hard and fast. Oh I immediately knew and felt guilty!

I told them truly could lift latches and open doors - ooos! So truly lost her open door top policy till they could put a loop to use a snap to prevent her from lifting the latch!

Goats are easy to contain though! Electric fencing outside, and a solid 5’ wall for inside pens. I love electric fencing

It’s ok to be sad, we all share in both happy, and sad times here. And support each other

No, May is too early. You want them to go into winter with nice new feathers that will keep them warm. This is about right...maybe it would be best a few weeks earlier...but not months. Though we would worry less then than now! They always give us something to worry about ......

Wish she could have done this back in august like the others!!

Oh Alex so sorry, I know this agony, which is why I am trying not to cry. Having pets is such heartache and loss at times. Sad sad sad

So glad you have jaffar, coco, and all your other wonderful feathered friends to help you.

I have my emotional support rooster right here with me now. The house is still full of people, so I’m outside in the coop, if I start crying again.
