Today we had to put my Aussie Riley to sleep. Over the last year he had went down hill, over the winter he stopped eating for almost a week, then slowly started eating again. Then last week he was eating but not like normal, so I bought him soft food. But he stopped eating all together about 3 days ago. He was loosing control of his legs. He was 11 years old, he has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. He loved me but loved the horses even more. The horses were his, he lived for the horses and to chase the water out of the hose. Matt and I took him to the vets this AM, we both cried about the whole way there and back home. We dug him a hole out in the pasture so he could be with his horses. All the horses (well Rosie and Vinney were in the barn, so was Shot)and dogs were there. We found a rock that looks like a head stone and tonight I am going to put his name on it. I miss him all ready.
