The fact that you get so emotional over losing your sheep speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Its the reason this is my fav sheep channel... xoxo
Whether a ewe in a farm, or a pet in the home, being responsible for the life of a creature, or its humane death, always weighs on one’s soul. Take heart you did the right thing.
Unfortunately, that is a decision that everyone who has livestock has to make, at one point or another. The fact that it is a hard decision for you to make, shows what a good heart you have. Hugs to you.
It is us, your customers, that ask you to do your job with the sheep. That includes the nice and the tough parts. So we also need to thank you for all.
I held my old dog, who had cancer, in my arms when the vet put him to sleep. I literally saw a living, breathing (though suffering) creature become an empty shell. I knew nothing I could do would ever reverse the process. I sobbed my heart out. Of course we will be kind; we love you.
I’m right with you. Raised on a farm. Small compared to all you do. And just one loss would be so hard. Hugs in the midst of these very difficult decisions
Once she got sick, I never saw true improvement in the ewe. She barely moved, and when she did, she was slow and lethargic. She never raised her head high, showed no interest in her surroundings, and her eyes held the look of suffering and pain. Sometimes, when we see a person or creature every day, our perspective is too close and we can't stand back and see the big picture. Your ewe was tired, in pain, suffering, and wearied of living. You did her a great kindness by euthanizing--literally, "easy death"--your ewe, and if she could thank you, I think she would have. You are the very best kind of farmer, Sandi. 💖
So much love and thought you put into the decision. Even us non farmers struggle when we put our pets down. I am a city girl and appreciate your choice and how you explained it. I love the little lambs but there is death too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being merciful. So many people in this world does not think about the animal the way you do. You got such a good heart. Oh the Instapot!!! such a lifesaver. So many things you can do with it. Did you know you can even make bread. You will have fun with it , when you have time to look up recipes on RUclips. Blessings and safety to you and your family
Sandi, you are by far a very humane person. It is never an easy decision, but in the end no extended suffering. Big hug for you from me. Thanks again for the tag along.🐧🌹❤
Animal husbandry definitely has days that knock the feelings down. Your sheep are a beautiful flock showing excellent care. Thank you for sharing your farm life!
The fact that it's clear you struggle with these decisions, that you put a lot of effort into getting an animal well, and that it affects you for days before and after that decision is proof that you're a good farmer. It saddens me that these decisions need to be made but it saddened and angered me that you even had to ask for kindness in the comments. People can be so very cruel and I know that you've experienced too much of that in the comments in the past. I'm sorry. Thank you for being you and for continuing to share you life with us.
So beautifully said. I’m on vacation, camping, and binge watching Sandi’s videos ( I never tire of them ). But I came across your comment and just wanted you to know …. It was just so kind and beautiful 💗🤗💗
@@Ladywolf2263 thank you. I have made a conscious effort to speak words of encouragement in the hopes that she might read them or someone else who needs similar encouragement will. But beyond that I hope that my words might make someone think twice before writing something unkind or asking a legitimate question in an unkind way. So thank you. It's nice to know that something I wrote touched you enough that you took the time and effort to actually let me know that. Enjoy the rest of your camping trip (I'm slightly envious).
I am so sorry you even need to ask us to be kind. Your livestock and I trust you to do what is best. I will never judge you for having to put an animal down. Sometimes, it is the greatest display of love.
I had to make the decision on two of my precious dogs this year....always a hard call....but I truly believe that this is the final gift we can make to our animals. Blessings.
Sandi, i feel ur pain. U have a big heart and i love that about u. U r very sensitive. U raise sheep for business purposes, but u still care about them, and work hard to give them a healthy life while they r here. It was a hard decision, but u made the right one.
Sandi, it's so nice to have a visit with you and your family. So sorry about your ewe; life is hard at times. Hugs dear one. You are having a lovely fall. It is winter in Alaska.😆 God bless the Brooks!❤
Just had one of our ewe lambs die, she was my favourite as I bottle raised her. I completely understand the feelings of loss and if I had done “enough”. Hugs to you, Sandy.
Gangrene is just one of those lethal things, sadly. And it is an AWFUL way to go. You did the best thing for her. You ended her suffering in a gentle and quick way after doing all you could for her. It isn't easy, but sometimes it is what we have to do. *hugs*
On Friday my husband & I had to make the decision to euthanize a pony we’ve had for 20 years. He sustained a lower back injury 4 years ago, we tried to keep him comfortable, we had used different treatments to see if we could help him in his senior years, he was 27. This week he went off his grain, ponies never go off grain if given the opportunity have it! He stopped eating hay and drinking water. I have complete and total empathy and sympathy for your loss. We are now down to one mare, the daughter of the mare ( who passed 4 yrs ago at the age of 28) seen in my picture. We do have a boarder so Nessa June is not alone. There are times these decisions have to be made, they are never easy, but we gave it our all & know it was time. Sorry for your loss, you had no other choice. Our animals are at peace. God Bless
I’m sorry you lost the sick sheep. I know you did everything you could for her. I know putting her down was very hard for you because your sheep are all like your children.😢
You fought long and hard for her, and then you made the right decision by her. It was tough, but you did the right thing. We all feel with you Sandi, we know how much you love your herd. This was another hard time in the days of farming, and you came through it in the end. You are a strong woman, and will always rise above all obstacles thrown your way. Thanks for another great video. My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep.
A compassionate person is a kind person, you are great...you truly care more for your sheep than anyone I have seen.you are also the hardest working woman I have ever seen.... reminds me of my sister who has about 40 cattle, ,lots of chickens, dog,peacocks,ducks, cats, a few sheep, a few hogs.garden, tries to kill an elk every year , butchers and cans it, living on a very thin shoestring. She had to euthanize her mare she’d had over 37 (yes
Anyone who has seen you with your sheepies knows how much you love them. And seeing the tears in your eyes... I am so sorry. You were very kind and loving to that sweet momma sheep, you poured into her all you could. Putting her down was the best thing you could do. Big love, Sandi!
You gave her freedom from the pain and the struggle. It is hard to do with any animal but it is merciful and necessary at times. Big Hugs to you for having the courage and compassion to do what is right for your animals.
Don’t be hard on yourself. You went beyond what many would have probably done to make sure she wasn’t in pain and to try to keep her alive. You made the right decision 😘
Good afternoon in central Pennsylvania. I am so sorry you had to put down the ewe. It is a way better choice than making her suffer. You are doing a great job! You love your animals and take care of them wonderfully. ❤&🙏
Sandi you are one of the kindest people. You care for your animals is admirable. You cared enough about the ewe to not let her suffer, even though it makes you sad, you did the best thing for her. Have a blessed weekend!
When you started talking early in the video about how she was doing, I literally said aloud, "I think she's a goner Sandi." You did everything you could do and then some to save her. I know you know even better than me how much it sucks to have to euthanize an animal, but i had to make that decision with my most beloved dog Chase in December and wept for days. hugs
Sandy, i understand the emotional decisions on cost vs care vs pain and suffering. We had a goat once who thought she was a dog. She never understood she was a goat but she was a good dog-goat!
It is hard to do but you can see she is in pain and suffering. Her udder looks awful. You did the right thing for her. Love how your glass frames match your shirt.
Paisano's Roost Farm in Southern New Mexico: You have done everything you can for this ewe to improve her quality of life. The last act of kindness is always the hardest one on the human side of the equation. I had to put down my favorite ewe back in Feb. A whole chain of weather and lambing complications set the situation in motion. I spent the last few minutes with her. I told her that I loved her and her sons would stay in our flock. 😥 Now for a bit of a laugh: I was feeding our rams and Drake, our mouflon ram of undetermined age; escaped up the sheep chute in search of screwbean mesquite seeds. He has a screwbean mesquite addiction. I had to pick up some pods and tap him on his tailbone to move him back to the ram pasture. After the third tap, he swings his head around as if to say "Ok , I'm going." 😏 I looked at him "Go back into the pasture, Drake." Part of our rams are voice trained which makes it easy to work with them. 🤗 *hugs*
You made the right call lady. You gave her your best shot and in the end she was the one that told you it was time. When they stop eating they have lost their will. I understand that sorrow but know you did the very best thing for HER....and for that I'm sure she is grateful. Hugs, it never gets easier.
Stay strong Sandi, coming from a farm I know how hard some decisions are in managing the wealth fare of the animals! You are so compassionate. Thanks for sharing the real world of farming.
This is my second day binge watching your channel. I am a city girl, now retired. Farmers work so darn hard!!! I have an increased appreciation for the food I eat. Thank you for all of your hard work! 🇨🇦❤️
My husband who was a cabinet maker...always said when making a tough decision was ''to keep your wood as long as you can, for as long as you can''...don't make it in haste...and you didn't...you left it until the decision was made for you...a hard one, but necessary...love you Sandi and family and crew
So sorry about the ewe. You did everything, Sandy, and no one can say you didn't. You are an absolute wonder with all you do and still have that beautiful smile. Bless you. Jess is so funny without even trying. Always dancing and smiling. Cannot wait for the babies again.
Dang... those sheep lose weight so fast. The part where it showed that girl up and standing next to another ewe is crazy. In just a week she dropped to half the weight of the other ewes. They really are delicate creatures.
Wow, doesn’t seem like a year since the roof blew off, where’d that time go? You’re life is so full on. You’re a good woman Sandi Brock, thanks for sharing this with us all.💜
It's time to give her the best act of kindness that you can give her. It's never easy to make the call. You have done everything possible to help her we all know that. Hugs to you for comfort.
That ewe that went to Heaven is sitting beside the manger this year and is now very happy. Don't be so hard on yourself you did a good thing for her she appreciated you for along time. Hugs from Minnesota
glad you came to that conclusion , she looked like she might be depressed and suffering, you and her both fought a good fight, she is with the goat lovers in the sky
I admire the fact that you are able to make the needed decision for the good of the animal and the fact that as hard as it is you carry out this, no needed for the sheep to be made even more nervous by strangers about. Keep up the great work looking after all your woolly friend, stay safe.
It is always hard to be the one who makes the call to take a life. Some would say, "It's just an animal." or "It's a life! How dare you!" My opinion is that if you do what is right for the animal YOU are a good person! You love your animals: that is obvious. Thank You for the time you put in to share with us.
aw bless you, sweetheart. Of course it's a hard call. You have to in the end do what's right for the animal, even if it causes you distress. I think it's a wise call.
Sandi, bless your heart 'you tried really really hard to save her & that should comfort you an you should acknowledge you have a really good heart.... You always show all your sheep kindness & affection when they are with you an you should be very Proud of that, you did the kindest thing for her....❤️
Just admire your heart for your girls, sorry your efforts to save your ewe came to an end. Knowing you put up a fight rest easy now. So apparent is your kindness and concern, that your ewes react to your presence👍
First off love your channel second off we all know where an animal ends up at the end of the day but to care and have compassion about that animals well being is true love of what you are doing I can tell you care.
God Bless you Sandy, you care so much for your Woolies and we can all see that, sometimes these decisions are hard 😢 but its the best thing for her at this time your heart is perfect and happy you are so Kynd
The highs and lows of animal husbandry. You gave that ewe lots of love and care, but her life was, unfortunately, never going be positive for the farm/flock. It takes a strength to make & act on these decisions. Big hugs from a former livestock manager.
That is one of the many reasons you are my favorite utube post. You are compassionate and real and amusing too. You are all these things and a great entrepreneur and farmer and mom and person. I need a little dose of Sheepishly Me to escape the boredom of lockdown! Thanks Sandi!
Harvest done!!🎉 Its always hard to have to make the decision on whats best for your flock. She's not hurting anymore and you gave her as much care and try for her. HUGS for these moments that are hard and high five to you and your family for getting through harvest!
The best part of what you had to do is she doesn’t hurt anymore. I do like that you tell us what your thinking and what in the end made you make such a hard discussion. We all still love you! ❤️ the right thing is hard sometimes!! Hugs
Making those kinds of decisions are very hard. You didn't rush into it and you talked it over with Clarissa too. You made them best decision for the ewe. I'm really proud of you.
Good morning Sandi, I have missed so many early morning vlogs, till much later in the day. But I am here always and thankful for all that you share. My heart hurts for your heart that you must make such difficult/sad/necessary decisions. Don’t doubt your spirit when you know that you must. Take care, be safe and have a blessed week 🤍🐑🤍 P.S. So excited for the drop 🤍🐑🤍 Susan
She looked thinner. Of course it was the right choice. When you mentioned it I agree, she was in pain, we couldn't tell what else what going on inside. It was so kind to help the sweet girl.
You Sandi are the most special sheep farmer there is in my opinion.You have a caring 💖 like no other.I know you made the right decision with that sheep.May God bless your family as you all work together in the fields. I am so happy that you were able to complete harvest in a timely manner.Congratulations to Brooke and Jess for choosing to continue their education. That mindset happens because of great parenting.Stay blessed Brock Family! #thankafarmer 💖💖🐑 🚜🌽💖💖
I just got a new instant pot also and watched You tube channels call Six Sisters and they give hints and recipes for the instant pot that has been great. They also have a new recipe book coming out for instant pot they really have helped me.
It is the right thing to do. She wasn't doing well and I wish someday when I'm on my last legs that someone would be so kind to put me out of my misery.
Making the call is sometimes the hardest thing one can do, but it's also often the kindest thing to do. Don't beat yourself up over the decision. Sending lots of love your way 💗
You’ve done everything you can and she has done everything she can so really you made the right call. It’s never easy being either a farmer or a pet owner x
You have done the right thing. You've tried so hard to make her better. She looked poorly and my heart goes out to you having to put her down. Love you guys xxx
The fact that you get so emotional over losing your sheep speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Its the reason this is my fav sheep channel... xoxo
My favourite also. Sandi and I cry over the same things.
Whether a ewe in a farm, or a pet in the home, being responsible for the life of a creature, or its humane death, always weighs on one’s soul. Take heart you did the right thing.
I swear Jess is Sandi's mini me through and through! Her smile,voice,phrases and more are a carbon copy of her mom. I love it! ❤
Yup! You have to wonder if Jess actually ever saw an episode of the Gong Show... Not very likely 🫣
Unfortunately, that is a decision that everyone who has livestock has to make, at one point or another. The fact that it is a hard decision for you to make, shows what a good heart you have. Hugs to you.
Don't second guess yourself. You made the right decision.
It is us, your customers, that ask you to do your job with the sheep. That includes the nice and the tough parts. So we also need to thank you for all.
You were kind to put her down, Sandi. It's never an easy decision but it was the right one. Bless you for making it as soon as you did.
I totally agree with you putting that ewe down. Hard days 😪.
those are hard...
I held my old dog, who had cancer, in my arms when the vet put him to sleep. I literally saw a living, breathing (though suffering) creature become an empty shell. I knew nothing I could do would ever reverse the process. I sobbed my heart out. Of course we will be kind; we love you.
It is so hard. She really doesn’t look good . She has done all she can.
I agree with you Ann. just always a tough day.
I’m right with you. Raised on a farm. Small compared to all you do. And just one loss would be so hard. Hugs in the midst of these very difficult decisions

So many things you can do with it. Did you know you can even make bread. You will have fun with it , when you have time to look up recipes on RUclips.
Blessings and safety to you and your family
Sandi, you are by far a very humane person. It is never an easy decision, but in the end no extended suffering. Big hug for you from me. Thanks again for the tag along.🐧🌹❤

I'm sad with you today Sandi.
Tough call no one wants to have to make. You did everything you could for Momma 106.
I am so sorry you even need to ask us to be kind. Your livestock and I trust you to do what is best. I will never judge you for having to put an animal down. Sometimes, it is the greatest display of love.

My heart hurts for you, Sandi. You made the most informed, loving, humane decision to end that ewe's suffering. 😢♥️🐑
Sandi, it's so nice to have a visit with you and your family. So sorry about your ewe; life is hard at times. Hugs dear one. You are having a lovely fall. It is winter in Alaska.😆 God bless the Brooks!❤
Just had one of our ewe lambs die, she was my favourite as I bottle raised her. I completely understand the feelings of loss and if I had done “enough”. Hugs to you, Sandy.
Gangrene is just one of those lethal things, sadly. And it is an AWFUL way to go. You did the best thing for her. You ended her suffering in a gentle and quick way after doing all you could for her. It isn't easy, but sometimes it is what we have to do. *hugs*
On Friday my husband & I had to make the decision to euthanize a pony we’ve had for 20 years. He sustained a lower back injury 4 years ago, we tried to keep him comfortable, we had used different treatments to see if we could help him in his senior years, he was 27. This week he went off his grain, ponies never go off grain if given the opportunity have it! He stopped eating hay and drinking water. I have complete and total empathy and sympathy for your loss. We are now down to one mare, the daughter of the mare ( who passed 4 yrs ago at the age of 28) seen in my picture. We do have a boarder so Nessa June is not alone.

I’m sorry you lost the sick sheep. I know you did everything you could for her. I know putting her down was very hard for you because your sheep are all like your children.😢
Kindest thing is to end their suffering even though it's the hardest thing to do

Totally agree with you!!!
thanks so much Lorna!

Don’t be hard on yourself. You went beyond what many would have probably done to make sure she wasn’t in pain and to try to keep her alive. You made the right decision 😘
You are a very compassionate farmer, Sandy. The love you show towards your animals is exceptional.
Good afternoon in central Pennsylvania.
I am so sorry you had to put down the ewe. It is a way better choice than making her suffer. You are doing a great job! You love your animals and take care of them wonderfully.
❤&🙏
Thanks so much!
Honey, we know you love those babies. Even if they are grown. You did the right thing. Your kind heart is a blessing and a curse.
I’m so sorry she didn’t get better😢 you did so much for her, especially ending her pain💜
Sandi you are one of the kindest people. You care for your animals is admirable. You cared enough about the ewe to not let her suffer, even though it makes you sad, you did the best thing for her. Have a blessed weekend!

Your family adds so much to my life. Thanks for all you do as farmers for all of us and for taking such good care of the animals.
I am sorry you had to do that. She had a great life while she was with you.
You made a good call. I was crying with you. You can tell how much love you put into your work. Hugs from America.

Stay strong Sandi, coming from a farm I know how hard some decisions are in managing the wealth fare of the animals! You are so compassionate. Thanks for sharing the real world of farming.
One of the reasons I LOVE your channel is because you have HEART , and are not indifferent to your livestock and family.
im happy that ewe is in a much more comfortable place. no more pain. i love watching you do all you can for these animals.
This is my second day binge watching your channel. I am a city girl, now retired. Farmers work so darn hard!!! I have an increased appreciation for the food I eat. Thank you for all of your hard work! 🇨🇦❤️
Don’t second guess yourself, about the ewe. If that’s what your “gut” was telling you to do, you made the right choice.
My husband who was a cabinet maker...always said when making a tough decision was ''to keep your wood as long as you can, for as long as you can''...don't make it in haste...and you didn't...you left it until the decision was made for you...a hard one, but necessary...love you Sandi and family and crew
It’s really the only kind thing to do. Tough choice but the right one.
So sorry about the ewe. You did everything, Sandy, and no one can say you didn't. You are an absolute wonder with all you do and still have that beautiful smile. Bless you. Jess is so funny without even trying. Always dancing and smiling. Cannot wait for the babies again.
You have such a big heart, you did the right thing.
Dang... those sheep lose weight so fast. The part where it showed that girl up and standing next to another ewe is crazy. In just a week she dropped to half the weight of the other ewes. They really are delicate creatures.
Wow, doesn’t seem like a year since the roof blew off, where’d that time go? You’re life is so full on. You’re a good woman Sandi Brock, thanks for sharing this with us all.💜
It's time to give her the best act of kindness that you can give her. It's never easy to make the call. You have done everything possible to help her we all know that. Hugs to you for comfort.
I'm so sorry Sandy. Wish I could add some pictures here to make you smile. Love, hugs, and prayers
That ewe that went to Heaven is sitting beside the manger this year and is now very happy. Don't be so hard on yourself you did a good thing for her she appreciated you for along time. Hugs from Minnesota
I go through the same emotions when raising pigs hardest thing to decide
glad you came to that conclusion , she looked like she might be depressed and suffering, you and her both fought a good fight, she is with the goat lovers in the sky
Sometimes the kindest thing for them is the hardest part for us. You made the right call.
Agree with you 100%
Ya
Agreed!
agreed i dont like seeing sandi in pain
I totally agree. I've lost several baby horses due to colic and so forth. And thats really hard on me too. But I never want an animal to suffer.
I admire the fact that you are able to make the needed decision for the good of the animal and the fact that as hard as it is you carry out this, no needed for the sheep to be made even more nervous by strangers about. Keep up the great work looking after all your woolly friend, stay safe.
It is always hard to be the one who makes the call to take a life. Some would say, "It's just an animal." or "It's a life! How dare you!" My opinion is that if you do what is right for the animal YOU are a good person! You love your animals: that is obvious. Thank You for the time you put in to share with us.
aw bless you, sweetheart. Of course it's a hard call. You have to in the end do what's right for the animal, even if it causes you distress. I think it's a wise call.
Today you showed that ewe love, respect and understanding. That's all an animal could ask!
Sandi, bless your heart 'you tried really really hard to save her & that should comfort you an you should acknowledge you have a really good heart....
You always show all your sheep kindness & affection when they are with you an you should be very Proud of that, you did the kindest thing for her....❤️
You absolutely did the right thing! Praying for you to have peace.
Just admire your heart for your girls, sorry your efforts to save your ewe came to an end.
Knowing you put up a fight rest easy now. So apparent is your kindness and concern, that your ewes react to your presence👍
Nothing says I love you for a farmer than a hot meal delivered to the tractor 👍
First off love your channel second off we all know where an animal ends up at the end of the day but to care and have compassion about that animals well being is true love of what you are doing I can tell you care.
No matter what we have to take into consideration the animal's quality of life.
It's hard but you did the right thing.

God Bless you Sandy, you care so much for your Woolies and we can all see that, sometimes these decisions are hard 😢 but its the best thing for her at this time your heart is perfect and happy you are so Kynd
The highs and lows of animal husbandry. You gave that ewe lots of love and care, but her life was, unfortunately, never going be positive for the farm/flock. It takes a strength to make & act on these decisions. Big hugs from a former livestock manager.
That is one of the many reasons you are my favorite utube post. You are compassionate and real and amusing too. You are all these things and a great entrepreneur and farmer and mom and person. I need a little dose of Sheepishly Me to escape the boredom of lockdown! Thanks Sandi!
Harvest done!!🎉 Its always hard to have to make the decision on whats best for your flock. She's not hurting anymore and you gave her as much care and try for her. HUGS for these moments that are hard and high five to you and your family for getting through harvest!
The best part of what you had to do is she doesn’t hurt anymore. I do like that you tell us what your thinking and what in the end made you make such a hard discussion. We all still love you! ❤️ the right thing is hard sometimes!! Hugs
Thank you for being you, Sandi. I'm sorry about your ewe.
Making those kinds of decisions are very hard. You didn't rush into it and you talked it over with Clarissa too. You made them best decision for the ewe. I'm really proud of you.
Good morning Sandi, I have missed so many early morning vlogs, till much later in the day. But I am here always and thankful for all that you share. My heart hurts for your heart that you must make such difficult/sad/necessary decisions. Don’t doubt your spirit when you know that you must. Take care, be safe and have a blessed week 🤍🐑🤍 P.S. So excited for the drop 🤍🐑🤍 Susan
Thank you so much 😊

You are really blessed. You have a huge heart, a caring support network, and a daughter who eats your cooking! ♡ Stay safe happy and healthy.
You did the right thing, don’t let anyone say different. It’s good to see that you take such great care of the animals in your flock.
She looked thinner. Of course it was the right choice. When you mentioned it I agree, she was in pain, we couldn't tell what else what going on inside. It was so kind to help the sweet girl.
You did the Sheep right Sandi. She not in any pain now. You did her a good turn.
You Sandi are the most special sheep farmer there is in my opinion.You have a caring 💖 like no other.I know you made the right decision with that sheep.May God bless your family as you all work together in the fields. I am so happy that you were able to complete harvest in a timely manner.Congratulations to Brooke and Jess for choosing to continue their education. That mindset happens because of great parenting.Stay blessed Brock Family!

It was the right decision. Maybe even a bit late, but I love that you care so much for your flock.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Sandy. Thank you for making the hard calls. Sending good thoughts your way.
I just got a new instant pot also and watched You tube channels call Six Sisters and they give hints and recipes for the instant pot that has been great. They also have a new recipe book coming out for instant pot they really have helped me.
You did the kindest act you could for her. try to ignore the hateful messages I thank you for doing this for us!!!
She’s not hurting anymore, you tried, and we appreciate that
Sending you love and hugs. Its never easy but you did right by her.
It is the right thing to do. She wasn't doing well and I wish someday when I'm on my last legs that someone would be so kind to put me out of my misery.
Making the call is sometimes the hardest thing one can do, but it's also often the kindest thing to do. Don't beat yourself up over the decision. Sending lots of love your way 💗
Momma Ewe went over the Rainbow Bridge, no more suffering. You did what had to be done. 💔
Oh my Sandi! I cried with you and for you! You make me so very happy and I hate to see you sad. #superfan
thanks so much Jan
You’ve done everything you can and she has done everything she can so really you made the right call. It’s never easy being either a farmer or a pet owner x
As hard as this was for you I am glad you put her down. She was suffering and you were as well watching her. You did the right thing.
😘🤗 I don't think anyone likes that part. Just know you provided her with the best life.
You have done the right thing. You've tried so hard to make her better. She looked poorly and my heart goes out to you having to put her down. Love you guys xxx
