Yesterday morning Mandi noticed that Bucky, one of the horses at the ranch, was not doing well. We had noticed something the other day but thought he just needed to be wormed but that didn't make him feel better. We called the vet and he came out - took blood, gave medicine and said he'd call later.
Our friend Alecia came over. Alecia is an animal communicator (www.allbeingsequal.com) and for the hundreds of times she has given me the privilage of seeing first-hand what she can do, I completely believe in her gift. She informed me that Bucky would not be pulling through on this one. We talked awhile with her telling me what Bucky needed and me asking questions. It was absolutely a wonderful gift for me, for Mandi and I'm sure for Bucky because we had complete peace-of-mind and understanding between all parties. We knew he may not make it much longer so this morning when we checked on him we knew it was time. Mandi and I helped him lay down and stayed with him. We contacted Alecia again and she informed us that he would need help from the vet; she came over and worked with him some more. The vet did arrive around 11 and he left us peacefully. It was time and I'm so glad he wasn't alone and that we could all be there to surround him with love. In the end, Bucky had liver failure as a result of Cushings Disease. I'm so glad I was here with him though to say good-bye and to do what I could to honor him; had I not been here I would have felt even worse.
Alecia's help was a gift. Jose, who works here, was such a gift because he took care of Bucky's resting place in the pasture. And Mandi was so strong...for me and Bucky. She's such a strong soul and is really quite amazing - especially in hard times. She is always able to step up for me when I feel that I can't.

So, at times like this you think of mortality and life and love and it really gets you thinking. Animals have been such a gift in my life and every day I strive to be kinder and more loving because of them and to them. They have unwavering love and I think humans have a lot to learn from them.
Here's to Bucky - you'll be missed. xoxo.
I will keep everyone posted on my travel plans. That's all for now... Molly
