I just received a call from Kim with some terrible news. My friend and horse vet (Christie) and her husband (Gary) just lost their home and all their belongings in a fire. If that isn't bad enough..... their beloved dogs and birds were also killed in the fire. Christie and Gary are beside themselves with grief. Christie told Kim that it is her animals that always help her through the tough times and now she and Gary no longer have them for support. They can't stop thinking that they suffered a horrible painful death.
This is the most generous and loving couple. Christie was the vet who was able to diagnose, treat and cure Monique when she had a horrible front end lameness 4 years ago that almost ended her riding career. When I got sick last year, she and Gary volunteered their time to come out and treat the arthritis in Mo's hocks (the equivalent of our ankles) at no charge. They have an incredible sensitivity and kindness to both animals and humans.
I am so so sad for their loss.

Oh my god, thats awful! They had such a cute little house! I didn't even realize that there had been fires out there- those poor people! Let me know if there is anything to be done for them...
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine how overwhelmed they must be on so many levels...I'm sure your support is invaluable to them...isn't it nice to be able to put a little energy into support of them (you couldn't have even THOUGHT of that a month ago, I'd think)...you are getting better in little steps!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. Is there any little thing that could be helpful to them right now?? Many prayers for them..
