Meandering with Marilyn

MO’s favorite horse of all time and my pen buddy, Katy Kan Wish, aka Can Can, went over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She trotted over never looking back…

She laid down in the night and MO and The World’s Best Husband spent a good portion of yesterday trying to talk her into getting up again, but she was ready to move on to green pastures.

She turned 24 on March 29th and spent all but 3 of those years living with MO’s family or with her extended familiy. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, she was a very generous and giving horse.

MO said this time of year (around equinox) is hard on old horses and old people as the pull of the moon is so strong. MO noticed that Can Can had been losing weight for a couple of weeks, not eating her grain and not eating very much hay.

Although sad about the situation, I did my job, I stood by Can Can to lend support until MO and TWBH came to relieve me. When Can Can passed I called to her repeatedly to try to get her to come back, but she chose to go.

MO is going to put together a tribute to Can Can and post in a few days.
