Bob is gone

I can't figure out how to edit my previous post.

Bob was put to sleep this morning. He laid down and struggled to get up. Once he was up I knew it was time. The vet agreed. His hind end just couldn't support him. Bob left with dignity which is how I wanted it. He knew no pain or fear. He was perky and eating carrots until the end.

I can't stop crying and I don't know what I'm going to do without him. Rest in peace baby boy. Mamma misses you like stink.

It was so nice that Bob was always a part of our Christmas card exchange. He will truly be missed.

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
I missed your 1st post when Bob was down, then up.....and now this :(

:ghug: I'm so sorry Paula. :ghug:

Bob was so lucky to have you as his human, and we were too, for getting to share his life and times.

It's so sad and hard to let them go, even when you know it's time and only suffering is ahead.
Paula I am so sorry about Bob. He will be missed by everyone on the forum.

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
So very sorry Paula. Bob will be missed.
When Hope passed away, they gave me some of her mane. I'm going to make a key chain with it, so I can have a little piece of her with me.

Hugs too you.

So very sorry for your loss
Oh Paula, I'm so very, very sorry. Hugs to you during this very sad time.

I enjoyed your stories about Bob, and your deep love for him was apparent. I know that he knew it too.

Bless you for letting him go with dignity. The carrot munching seemed so serene and perfect. He was so lucky to have such a strong and wise mama, despite her pain.

Bob will enjoy the bridge with all of our loved ones to romp and play. Bet he will wonder about all the sheepdogs that keep herding and running him :wink:

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Paula, I'm so sorry for your loss. Run free Bob.
Lisa, I cut a big hunk of Bob's tail. There are several places that will make bracelets with the hair. I spent this morning looking at them on the Internet.

Thank you all for your kind words. I haven't had any hysteria today but still lots of tears. I just feel numb and my stomach hurts. I can't sit still. The yoga mantra is "quiet your body and your mind will follow." A foot of snow is predicted over the next 48 hours so I will have time to sit and process.

2014 can only be better than 2013. I hope 2014 brings us all peace and no pain.
The older we get the more holes we have in our heart. I am so sorry to here of your loss. The rest of our heart is full of memories.
I am so sorry. You shared some wonderful stories about The Wonder Horse and he is going to be missed.
May your memories bring you comfort.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Bob will be missed by everyone on here .
May your memories help you though this time.
So sorry to hear about Bob. I felt like I knew him. It is so hard losing our companions.
Paula, I'm so sorry. :cry: RIP Bob.

Paula,
I am so sad to learn of Bob the Wonder Pony's passing. He's been a big part of our family for many, many years and I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh Paula! This was so unexpected :( I am so very sorry for the loss of Bob. I know he was with you for a very very long time and was a huge source of joy and strength for you. Sending our love!
Oh, Paula - I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words that can magically make you forget the pain, but I hope our meager attempts at comfort have helped even a little. Bob was a lucky horse to have you as his mommy. I remember the stories of you moving him to a new stable, and how you loved to ride him. I'm sure he's finding plenty of friends at the Bridge, and can now run free without pain.

RIP, gentle Bob. You will be missed.

Paula,
I am so sorry to hear about Bob's passing! :cry:
Big :ghug: to you!!
Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts. I'm still in a lot of pain and I know only time will heal my wounds. What touches me most is to hear from people in all areas of my life how Bob was a part of THEIR life also. I like to think he had a positive impact on others. Before he died I started clearing out a corner of my second bedroom. Now I know that it will become my Bob nook, with a bench where I can sit and look at his pictures, and think of him.
