HORSE HOSPICE SWEDEN

 You might  know from earlier blog postings about our Horse Hospice in Sweden. About Tequila, the former famous race horse that got an injury and was going to be put to sleep. AWL did the re-search via veterinarians that Tequila could be a "normal" horse if someone would adopt him, give him care and trust.

We did!

 Only two months later, we are so thrilled to tell you that he is doing so much better. He gained weight, he is not in pain/discomfort. Tequila is a happy horse, having four women that works with him on a weekly schedule.

Still, we need to give him acupuncture, massage and soon the black smith. Please help us keep his spirit up by donating to our Horse Hospice.

He is a wonderful example, that life is not over until last person turns his back. We didn't!

The Result --- Closure to "Hit & Run"

[This is a update to the "Hit & Run" entry below. Please read it first]

Sad news this evening.

The Vet clinic called to say that the blood tests on Franz were not good. He had a very elevated white-blood count, and signs of severe kidney and liver damage. They also believed he had tumors in his organ(s), and internal bleeding. They recommended euthanizing him.

Reluctantly, we had to agree. He was old and with these injuries, his life was going to be short and painful. Still, it was a tough decision.

So sad. No micro-chip. No collar or tags. No owner to call, nobody to mourn him, or miss him.

Later this night, they did the autopsy at our request. Here is part of the email we received from Dr. Friz:

Dear Mia,

...the dog had a bad tumor in the liver and was hit by a car: bleeding in the abdomen, one of the kidneys was completely damaged. Thanks for collecting him and put him out of his misery...

Dorothea

Dear Franz, we are so sorry this was the end for you. But glad you are no longer in pain. Your work on earth this time is done. Bon voyage. Say hello to Morris for us.
