How dare he be taken from his perfect life, leaving his family heartbroken? I have no answers. I only know that none of us signs on for this when we bring an animal into our life, yet it's an achingly sad, mind-and-soul-numbing reality when it happens.
My thoughts and prayers are with Justina and Don and Bernard, Ellsworth, Nigel and Patrick in the days and months to come, and I know yours will be, too.
OMG, what a shock! Thoughts/prayers winging to all of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm in shock. I can't believe it. This is so sad!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with Morning Bray Farm at this time.
RIP beautiful little Fergus. We'll miss you very much!
he is beautiful.... thoughts and prayers to his family ... losing someone who loves you so unconditionally is so very hard.
ReplyDeleteOh No! It's always so hard to loose a family member. My prayers go out to them.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Fergus. Please let the family know that a cyber friend feels their loss. It's hard to see a pet leave this planet for no uncertain reason.
ReplyDeleteSincerely, Sandra
Oh, so heartbreakingly sad!Do they have any idea what could have happened? So scary, so sad. I'm trying to focus on how blessed Fergus was to have had half of his short life with those at Morning Bray. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI am stunned.
ReplyDeleteOh, no....please send my thoughts to them. I remember when my Beauty died...it was a stupid accident and I still miss her every day.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, that Fergus crossed over the Rainbow Bridge at such an young age, and so quickly. My prayers are with the family and his herd buddies.
ReplyDeleteOh No!! I am heartbroken for all of them. So much joy every single day at their farm and this is such a tragedy. RIP Fergus. You were loved so very much.
ReplyDeleteOh No!!! Do they have any idea what might have happened?? Thanks for letting us know. Poor Don and Justina!
ReplyDeleteI'm so terribly sorry. I send my prayers and best wishes to all of you. And special thanks to you, his "favorite aunt," for your beautiful post and photograph.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad! It is the heartbreaking reality of loving an animal. Think of all the joy that they brought into Fergus' life, though. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at Morning Bray.
ReplyDeleteCarson, such sad news. My heart goes out to all of you. What a wonderful portrait and tribute to Fergus. Try to remember the good times with him and take comfort in knowing he knew he was loved beyond measure.
ReplyDeleteRead all the psots she had of him...poor Nigel. (poor everyone) It doesn't make sense...
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThat's very sad and part of the making animals of any sort part of our lives. It could have been something in the hay, maybe he ate something plastic, so many possibilities. I have had more than my share of animal tragedies this last month and never did I know why for sure but could only guess. A poisonous plant sometimes has been the reason, something they ate before but this time it was too much. I won't go read the story because I've had my share of tears already but do send my condolences
ReplyDeleteDamn!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, that's terrible. What a heartbreaking loss for all of you. It's always so hard to lose our best friends. Condolences to everyone.
ReplyDeletePrayers and thoughts going out to MBF. When you see them, please give ALL a big hug from me. SO, so sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post on a terrible loss. It is so hard to fathom the whys.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to read the sad news! He must have been a very sweet burro.... for certainly he had a very sweet face!
ReplyDeleteNo. Oh, no.
ReplyDeleteThis is so very sad and unexpected. Please relay hugs to the gang at MB when you go see them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know, Linda. I'm too sad to say anything more, just now.

I am saddened by the news of Fergus. My heart goes out to Morning Bray Farm gang. Prayers going too.
ReplyDeleteOh, no. That is just to sad. Fergus is running and braying and eating whereever God sends our beloved animals(I want to think they will be waiting to greet us). I feel most for his loved ones left behind.
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot "like" this post - I am so sorry for all of them, and for you because Fergus was like a nephew to you. And he'd been making so much progress.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, but thank you for letting us know.

I am so sadden to hear the news about Fergus. My heart goes out to the Morning Bray family and all the folks and animals touched by Fergus.
ReplyDeleteThis is the absolute hardest part about having animals. When they are old and have lived a full life it is still hard but it makes sense. When they are suddenly and unexpectedly gone when you've done everything right with their care... it's impossible.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry. Sudden things like this are so difficult.
ReplyDeleteoh no! I am sooo sorry to hear about Fergus.
ReplyDeleteLosing a critter really is like losing a family member.
Love and hugs, and all the good juju me and my "aminal familie" can send!!!
(there are 6, 7 counting me!)
I'm so sorry about your loss-animals are so very special and so very hard to lose-especially suddenly like this. My prayers~~Rain
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe this when I read Justina's post on Friday. I know they are heartbroken, as well as you. Just 3 years old, and no reason? I hope Nigel is okay. I imagine this will be very hard on him...... My thoughts and prayers are for all of the 2 legged and 4 legged members of the family.
ReplyDeleteHow sad to hear this; Fergus is / was a gorgeous burro.
ReplyDeleteIt must be even worse for them, and you as well, not knowing what on earth happened to take him away like that. So sad. Big donkey hugs to all of you.
ReplyDeleteIts so hard when G calls another angel home. Rest in peace sweet Fergus.
ReplyDeleteHow devastating :(
