My heart breaks for you. So 😔 sorry!

Wanda said...

A long hug for you, Michelle. I'm sorry that he's gone.

Donna said...

I am sorry, Michelle.

Michelle said...

Thank you, wyomingheart, Wanda, and Donna. It was a shock, and totally unexpected, to find him dead this morning. I have three of his daughters and two of his granddaughters here so his legacy will live on, but I will miss my good boy.

Mama Pea said...

Aw, darn. So sorry to hear this, Michelle. I know he had a special place in your flock and heart.

Debbie said...

So sorry you lost one of the boys. Hugs.

Michelle said...

Yes, he did, Mama Pea, from the day he was born as the only living lamb in a set of triplets.

Thank you for your support, Debbie, Sara, A, and Sue. It's the hard part of being an animal caretaker.

So sorry for your loss.

Jeanne said...

Oh, Michelle, I'm so sorry! It's sooo tough, losing a beloved animal! It's bad enough when you know it is coming, but it's extra hard when it's so sudden!

I wish I could come and give you a hug.... I think you need one.

Hang in there dear friend.

Ten years an excellent number for the sheep boy. Shows the good care he had. Nice that you have daughters to carry on his legacy. Safe Journey Blake.

Mary Ann said...

Oh, no, I'm so very sorry. What a gorgeous boy he was!

Tina T-P said...

Oh no. So sorry to read your news of the loss of your little fellow. Thinking of you. T

Michelle said...

Thank you, Marlane.

It certainly was a shock, Jeanne.

Virtual hugs appreciated, Denise.

Goatldi, a lot of Shetlands live into their teens, so Blake didn't seem that old to me.

Thank you, Mary Ann. He was a good, and good-looking ram.

Thank you, Tina; I appreciated your thoughts.

Susan said...

Oh, Michelle. That must have been an awful shock for you. Such a fine, gentle boy. Many, many hugs to you, my friend.

MiniKat said...

Oh no! I'm so very sorry for your loss. Blake was such a sweet guy. I'm happy his legacy will live on through his descendants. I hope time will ease the shock and grief for you. *hugs*
