When my ex moved my mother who owns a horse ranch ageed to take him in because my daughter was devestated at the thought of losing her Bobo. Long story short all he ever wanted to do was play, well the horses were not fond of this great big white fluff ball trying to play with them. The 2nd day he was at my mother's he broke his pen(  ) and tried to play one of the horses kicked him. Apparently he ran off to hide and didn't make it  . We searched for 3 long days straight(80 acres) before I had to force my daughter to come home. She was 8 or 9 at the time and was so heartbroken. We thought he had just escaped and ran off but a few days later my dad found him. My poor girl was so heartbroken. |
Oh My GoshThat's so sad!!!! I never would have thought a horse would kill such a big dog with a kick. That's so good to know as I hope to have horses when I retire. So no dogs by the horses until both are trained. I'm so sorry that happened to your daughter's Bobo!!! She sounds so much like me...we lost a dog camping once (he was gun shy and we didn't know it and the guys were target shooting and Brownie ran through the camper screen door and was gone) I was about her age at the time. I tracked through the woods crying and calling him but my Brownie was never found. Two days later as we were leaving I cried and argued with my father the whole 2 hour drive home (which kids didn't do back then). A few years later I got a gp, Buffie. She was the best dog I'd ever had so needless to say that's why I got Garrett as an adult. I wonder if your daughter will want another some day too...I'll bet she does
