We had to say goodbye to part of this dynamic duo yesterday.
Oliver got Lymes disease and it spread to his kidneys. By the time it was diagnosed, it was too late. He was vaccinated and given monthly tick meds, so this was a real blow.
He had a beautiful send off, and lots of people who love him had a chance to come to the farm and say goodbye.
I took him for one last peaceful evening walk around Trout Lake and a few final rides in the truck, his favorite things. Basil, forever his partner in crime, laid on his grave after we buried him underneath the Mulberry tree.
Always the first at the door in the morning, his favorite words were βletβs go to workβ. Rest easy, little friend, see you on the other side π
