This is the little guy I was posting about. I'm very sad to say that he died last night. He developed a stress ulcer from everything that he went through, and it killed him pretty quickly. Just yesterday afternoon it looked as if he'd made a major improvement -he was even trotting around the pasture, wide-eyed at the new world all around him. An hour later he was barely moving. And it just continued downhill from there. Rest in peace, little Donatello.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear. I hadn't been on LJ and didn't know he was struggling. So sad. All the joy they bring every day ... this has to be hard to see.

It's very hard. Harder still is watching the mothers mourn, knowing there is nothing you can do to help them with their grief. It's heartbreaking.

Oh, god, that would be so sad, and yes, harder because there is nothing we can do. I hope they feel the love and tenderness around them.

I hope you're doing okay too.
