In Memory Of Grand Victor
Victor came to us in April of 2009 from Ms. Betty, an old friend. He became Mom's special baby, although it became obvious as the year progressed that a minor problem with his right front hoof was quickly becoming a major problem. He developed ring-bone in the joint and then arthritis, followed by a gradual weakening of his good front leg which caused staggering. Lately it became clear that our pain management measures were not adequate and that the pain was also affecting Victor's temperament. At the recommendation of both our veterinarian and our farrier we let him go, gently, on 5-13-10. He will be missed and we remember the good times, and the sweet times. Rest well, Victor.
