Why am I blogging sbout this? I honestly don't know. I guess my blog is a kind of outlet. Whatever.
My beloved, beautiful Titch collapsed suddenly this morning while we were out together. After a dreadfully distressing couple of hours, it was was decided that he should be put down, as his chances of survival were virtually nil. I don't know what I shall do without him. He was, quite literally the most beautify horse I have ever seen, and I was so lucky to have him. Life will never be quite the same again.

Frances, I am so very sorry xx
ReplyDeleteOh ,my Dear Frances....I am crying to hear that news...and I don't really know anything about horses ! I have a quite old dog,( 15/16 ish, but in good health) and am dreading the same happening. Your blog friends will all be distressed with you......I hope it helps just a little. I send you a virtual hug.
ReplyDeleteThere are no adequate words Frances.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, Frances. But you did him a mercy and that's something only someone who truly loves his companion can make.
ReplyDeleteTake your time to grieve.
Oh no! This is terrible, Frances, and I am so sorry, such a heavy blow coming so totally out of the blue :-(
ReplyDeleteDear Gods, I can't believe it :-((((
So sorry, Frances.
ReplyDeleteTitch will be pain-free now, though, over the Rainbow Bridge.
I am greatly saddened by this news and send you my sencere condolence. What a terrible blow!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe, when I saw the title of this post I tried to think of alternative reasons you would write such a title, even as I clicked and dreaded what was coming. I am so sorry. He was obviously your "heart-horse". We'll greatly miss those conversations with him that you shared with us. Horses leave such a big hole in the universe. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteOh, Frances, I'm so very, very sorry. I can hardly believe it. Titch was so much a part of the blogosphere. He will be missed by many, but by you more than all the rest of us put together, I know.
ReplyDeleteWarmest thoughts,
Kay
I'm so sorry. It must be like losing a family member.
ReplyDeleteFrances, I am so sorry to hear this. It is heartbreaking to lose such a treasured companion. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news, Frances. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. I have now words to ease your loss. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Frances, and such a shock. Words can't say what you must be feeling.
ReplyDeleteOh Frances, I am so sorry to hear about Titch. The tears are flowing, even though I had never met this wonderful companion of yours, but I enjoyed reading all about him.
ReplyDeleteWe will all be here for you with love and compassion during your time of loss.
Keep the faith.
With heartfelt sorrow, Virginia
I am so very, very sorry, Frances. The shock of such a massive loss must be impossible to cope with.
ReplyDeleteTitch would have been so comforted that you were there with him to the end.
He was the most loved horse I have ever known about.
So sorry, Frances.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. That's very sad news.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear your sad news. May Titch rest in peace and run free across heaven.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Frances. No words will give adequate comfort but when my darling Zoe died I imagined her chasing rabbits in a field. She loved to chase rabbits until she got too old. I'm sure wherever Titch is now he is doing something that he loves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the very kind comments. Please forgive no ndividual replies, but I really appreciate everyone's concern. He was hugely special, and I just wish his ending had been less traumatic. He had developed a sudden clot in a main artery - the worst the vet had ever seen - and it couldn't have been foreseen or prevented. It was awful, but I'm glad I was with him when he died. I'm now trying rather unsuccessfully to pull myself together...
ReplyDeleteSending you a big hug, with deepest sympathy. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your loss Frances.xx
ReplyDelete(((Frances))) So sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about this, Frances. What a horrible thing to happen.
ReplyDeleteOh, Frances, I'm so sorry. You've brought a tear to my eyes. At least you were with him when it happened which must have been a huge comfort to him. Poor Titch. I shall miss him, as I'm sure all your blog followers will.
ReplyDeleteFrances I am so sorry. Titch will continue to live in your heart and indeed he has a little corner in mine.
ReplyDeleteAnna
Once more, my thanks. You have all been so kind. I'm still trying to come to terms with it. His last couple of hours were so awful, and I can't get them out of my mind. But I guess I will. In time.
