@Scottgunz1 Well Scott I got to shed my tears this morning. Took that turn over night where this is no return from. I truly thought we were pass that hump. Even had me fantasizing her as one of our replacement heifers. 😭 I just couldn’t win.

@Scottgunz1 Hard to like a post like this😢I know how you feel! I have a little heifer born 10 days early and had to pull her off the mom. Cows milk was making her sick. It’s been good day/sucky day battle now almost 2 1/2weeks. I refuse to give up. ❤️

@JMW5424 I’m so sorry for the loss of your Furbaby. Hardest thing to do. I’ve done it 3 times held all 3 in my arms and cried like a baby. My loyal Rocky was 18, Addie was 16 and their daughter Callie was 18. Had a dog in our home for 24 years. ❤️

@PeggiBosquez My Granddaughter just got a Cavapoo for her 16th Birthday. To say Ruby is spoiled would be an understatement. She is going to obedience school in 4 weeks. Probably a good thing otherwise she would get away with murder. LOL. She is absolutely sweet and adorable.

@Brown27070Jeff Sorry Jeff! When you fight so hard so they can live, you become attached and invested in their survival. It’s called Love for you animals.

Husband has MS and is partially disabled on right leg with drop foot. Great difficulty walking. Can’t draw disability because he refuses to quit farming. If he didn’t continue to push himself to work on the farm instead of sit around and give up he’d probably be in a wheelchair by now.

@sissyroxx @TrueFactsStated You obviously have no clue what foot drop is or what to use to help with issue.

@redzinger1 @sissyroxx @TrueFactsStated This 👆🏻husband’s right foot has foot drop from MS. He hates wearing an AF0 brace. Getting shoes to fit on both feet is a pain.
