Good-Bye Cajun Thurs. March 25 2010

This morning when we went to check on Cajun he had gotten out of his stall and had gone to stand with his mini herd-Aurora, Chardonnay and Sunny. Tucker was there, too. Cajun's head was down and he was in obvious pain.
I led him back to the barn where Jim was waiting with another shot. The girls watched Cajun walk away, but Tucker stayed right with him. When Cajun stopped, Tucker stopped. Tucker never left his side.
We knew then that Cajun would not make it. Tucker seems to know which animals need him
right to the end and he stays with that animal.
Dr Darling agreed with Tucker and Cajun was given- as Tawnee of NorCal calls it- the final act of kindness. Aurora and Cajun were rescued by a county animal control because the horses were so neglected and starved. They fattened up at Home At Last and enjoyed life here. Thank you Dr Darling for helping us when we need you. Aurora will miss her soul mate. We all will. Good-bye Cajun. You were a magnificent horse
