My heart is so sad, Reader.
I decided to take my first post-surgery walk to check on cows. I was calling for Hazel and waiting for her to moo back at me, like she always does. As I walked further along, I saw a dead calf on the ground. I didn’t want to go and look to see, but, I did, and it was Hazel.
I cried all the way walking back home. My boys, who can be so obnoxious, immediately saw me crying, asked what happened, and sprung into action. They insisted on burying her so I could plant flowers around her. That was very sweet of them to take the time to dig a hole for her, and it really meant a lot to me. They even went back and put rocks on top in hopes that no coyotes would dig her up later.
Kate sent well-wishes and ordered a little grave marker for her that I can put by her graveside later on.
I have no idea what happened to her. I sent some pictures to a vet-tech friend, and really, we don’t have any way of knowing.
I will be ok. She was just a calf. But I sure did love her.
Oh, I am so sorry. The little buggers weasel their way into your heart. I get attached to all of them. It always hurts to lose a baby.
It does hurt, thank you 🙂
Oh Taylor, I’m so very sorry….this breaks my heart. I understand how you feel as I’ve been thru this same thing before. My heart just aches for you.
May the Lord bless you with His peace, honey, cos I know how much you loved her. I think we all did.
Thank you, my heart is broken for sure.
🙁 I’m sorry.
Thank you
How sad! I’m so sorry to hear this news. Sending you love and praying you will know God’s comfort. She was special!
Thank you
So sorry to hear about your Hazel, she was more than a calf to you 😢
She was, thank you
I am so sorry about Hazel.
Thank you
Of all the calves to die, that was not a good one! Hazel was special. Very sorry to hear that.
I am very impressed with HD and his trailer backing skills! David trained him well!
Your class room is coming together nicely. I’m sorry you are hitting walls. It seems to happen. My husband switched classrooms this year and he would very much sympathize with you.
Thank you. She was very special to me.
So sorry about Hazel. I felt like she was my friend, too. Blessings.
Thank you
Oh dear, I know you will miss Hazel head-butting your legs now and then!
I’m glad to hear that you are walking much better post-surgery and I hope that continues, with no further injuries for a great while, at least.
How kind of your children to do so much for you at hearing your sad news. Take care!
Thank you, Ruth. It was definitely a hard week.
I’m so sorry to hear about Hazel. 😥
She was so sweet. HD and LD were so kind to offer to bury her.
Thank you, Ellie. It was nice of them. My heart is so sad.
I am crying with you . Sad news. Hugs.
Thank you
