Odd thread - and I'm going to creep a bit. Living on a working ranch really keeps us in tune with how fragile life is. I have to have my old saddle mare shot tomorrow. Her kidneys gave out on her and she's in a bit of pain. I'm just grateful for the friends I have as I don't have to pull the trigger. I think I could but Ms. J won't let me - she says I've killed enough in my life.

Sorry for the creep - and Ms. J will let you all know when my turn comes to explore the other side.
