Last year at this time we said goodbye to a dear friend, Butte, the "Gentle Giant." Lost to UC before he reached 3 yrs old. Thought I would create this tribute to him.

When he was a kid he caught his side on some fencing that came loose and it opened him up like a zipper. After hour emergency vet call for the poor little guy, we were not ready to say goodbye.

Didnt forget him but love to be reminded with good pictures
My Putnik had a mild case of stones last summer but they were small enough he passed them with injections of Banamine I was giving him - Turned out he had been eating grain that was falling through the cracks from the horse who was stalled in a paddock next to him and I didn't know it!! So that's how he got the stones. It was so scary... I was crying... I moved to another pen where there is no way any grain from neighboring horses can get into their pen so that can never happen again. We got lucky.
