Tiki

My mom called me today to say that my family's horse Tiki passed away this week. She foundered, and was doing ok for a few days after veterinary care, but then died in the end. A friend of theirs came over with a back hoe and buried her on the property. I think my mom is more upset than I am, at least right now, because she had to deal with all the vet stuff, and now the other horse, Cassidy, is alone. Tiki was in her mid-thirties; we don't know how old exactly. My brother R. and I rode her in 4-H for quite a few years before she retired as a pasture horse. Maybe the sadness will hit me later.

She was a beautiful girl. I'm sorry for your loss.
