Lawnmower vs Rooster GRAPHIC PICS/ Saying Goodbye

[chickenzoo]

So very sorry. It is always so hard when you lose one that was such a fighter. When I lost Sheldon & Sebastion, my handicapped Swan & Sebbie goose I was just devastated. They had come so far and were making great improvements when a terrible mishap took them away...... I cried every time I looked at their empty wheelchairs. It took awhile before I could remove their stuff. Know that you did all you could, more than most would have done and I'm sure he was thankful of your efforts for him.

You had an amazing opportunity to ease suffering before death and didn't shy away from the task at hand. No one could have possibly known the outcome going in to this monumental task you had placed before you. You could have taken the easy way out, let nature take it's course and never had the amazing experience of showing many of God's creatures what compassion really is, and by many, I mean those of us who have been following this thread. Kudos to you for stepping up! If the rest of the world wasn't afraid to help someone more unfortunate or unable to help themselves, we would be in a much better place. I rushed home everyday to read this thread and find out the latest news. I am certain that you have learned a lot during this ordeal, but probably most important, you learned that you can do it. Whether or not he made it through has never been up to you. It is my hope that you find peace with the job you done and know deep inside that you did exactly what needed to be done, when it needed to be done. Feeling guilty is part of loss, and it too shall pass. With a heart like yours, I hope and pray that this talent that you have of caring for others will not be wasted. I hope that you continue to step up and exercise it daily. Not everyone has the capability to love so truly, madly, deeply with nothing but a big question mark in their future. The people outside of this forum may have the "it's just a chicken" mentality, but know that here, it is not only understood, but applauded, as it should be everywhere.

I am so, so sorry for your loss, after all the work and love you poured into the incredibly lucky Kobuta. I wish it had ended better for him, and you. I just lost my most dearest Serama boy, and as much as I want to share his story here I can't quite bring myself to yet. I applaud that you let us follow along with Kobuta, and hope you have some comfort knowing you did all you could. I sympathize, and empthize, and cry with your for your loss.

RIP Kubota, all our Love.

I set down here to read for just a few minutes,needed to get outside and do some work. Your post has made me cringe thinking of the Roo getting hurt the way he did. Filled me with admiration for all that you did for him. Helped me learn many things that I can do should one of my featherbabies ever get hurt. Educated me through the strength of the post and all the responses. I'm so sorry that you lost Kabota, but between the kindness of your heart, all the effort you put forth and the responses to pictures and posts You and Kabota have done a wonderful job of showing us the strenght and determination of Kabota to live and the things we humans can do for them. I am thankful to both of you for sharing this season in your lives with us. Now I need to go out and get some work done and probably cry some!

Thank you
