I'm sorry for your loss - what a touching memorial to jojo! You were both lucky to have graced each other's lives and to have been there for each other in good and bad times. I'm sure jojo was thankful to you for ending his suffering and being there with him when he passed. Your words are beautiful and you're an exceptional man, horseman2004...

losing my friend
today was a sad day for me. i lost the best friend i ever had. we rode the trails together,roped cattle together, and just had fun. today i layd to rest1 of the best horses that ever walked the earth. his name was jojo an appaloosa gelding i raised from a baby.in june he would have been 26 years old. he had his last ride 12 years ago when he fell in a hole and broke his knee. i doctored him myself cause the vet said put him down. i couldnt do it then. he was my buddy.so i nursed him through it and in a year he was running with the best of em. his knee was twice the size of normal but he made it. i never put a saddle on his back again but whe i would ride he took his place beside me and went with us. he never asked for much just a little hay and some grain. never was sick a day and aked for favors. but today he layed down and couldnt get up. i had talked to a friend of mine about him just yesterday, told him if i was ever out of pocket and he say jojo down or sick to please do me the favor of not letting him suffer. well today he had to make good on h promise. i went to see my old friend1 last time. he was so tired from struggling and trying to get up. i lay beside him and rubed his neck and talked to him and he lay quiet and still. caught hi breath and sighed1 lat time. i cried and am still crying cause i knew and know its our last time to be together.hes gone now. i know his sons and him are having a great time up there in a wild blue heaven.and i know my [x] is riding him high right now. they both are in a better place and theres no need to worry about him getting to old or down any more. ive got pictures in my mind as well as my walls to remind me of all the days gone past with me and him. but its so hard to say good by to the best friend i ever had. thanks ole jojo for all the great times you let me have with you. you will be mised greatly my friend.
