I take no joy in posting sad things here, but I believe it’s fair since she has starred and co-starred in so many of my posts and many of you had taken a liking. We made an extremely tough decision today. My best friend Firefly is gone, and our hearts are hurting badly in the Baker house. We know She’s with Nightshade now, but losing the companionship of a horse is a pain that’s hard to describe.
Goodbye to our palomino princess.

very sad news–-my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
losing your best friend is always hard---we will all miss Firefly.

I've really enjoyed seeing and learning about Firefly. Our pets teach us life is short. I am very sorry for your loss. Godspeed Firefly.

@jordanscollected Very sorry to hear. Losing pets is hard, and although I've never owned a horse nor interacted with many, they seem somehow different and I can see the loss being different as well so I think I know what you are saying even if I can't relate.
@dinobarnesberlin Wodka reminds me of our old family dog when I was growing up, Jody, who was a mixed spaniel mutt (probably some setter as well). I think hunting dogs in general and bird dogs in particular are big sweeties by nature, gentle and eager to please.

@tvenuto gentle and eager to please fo sure..and loyal.

I’m very sorry to hear about Firefly @jordanscollected . When you posted the previous pic of her I thought she looked a bit downcast and almost asked you about her. Glad to know she enjoyed your care and attention over her last years.
-
Thanks to everyone who reached out with well wishes.
She was really taking a downturn the last couple weeks, and the right decision was for us to take on the pain, and give her relief from hers.

Very sorry for your loss @jordanscollected . Our furry friends are hard to lose no matter their size. You will have pleasant remembrances.
-
@jordanscollected So sorry to hear this. Just remember all the good times you had with Firefly.

@jordanscollected Sorry to hear about Firefly. It's never easy, but I'm sure the right decision was made. Did you get a braid of hair to remember her?
-
@goosehd @twin thank you both.
Yes we trimmed some of her mane and tail to keep.
Allie had some of Nightshade's made into a necklace and I'll bet we do the same for Firefly. One thing people may not know is that each individual horse has a distinct smell different from all others. Firefly's was very particular and it's one thing I'll miss the most about her.
