Farewell Kim!

The Sun has set on Kim down on earth. Yesterday she flew into the great green pastures of heaven.

Poor Kim faded fast the past week. She stopped eating almost completely, only taking in about an eighth of what she had been eating. She quickly lost all the weight she had gained this past year, and more. Her nose bled constantly and she wobbled around her paddock pumping into the walls, too weak to stand, but too adamant to lay down. She became extremely dehydrated. Feverish and sweaty she kept dunking her face into her water trough unable to actually drink. The diarrhea stopped. There was nothing more to come out.
Finally yesterday she lay down. It was time. The vet came to put her to sleep.
Virpi was with her when she flew away.
Farewell Kim!
We'll always remember her and will miss her soft nickers as she always greeted us upon hearing our voices. We know she is in a better place and we know, that she died feeling loved.

This is the very last photo I took of her a week ago. Peacefully snoozing on the grass, in a warm sun. One of her favorite things to do.
