๐ Goodbye Gamble ๐ด๐
My heart is broken having to say goodbye to Gamble.
Gamble was one of the very first horses I ever looked after when I started Abbottโs Animal Care 6 years ago, so he has been there right from the beginning of such a huge part of my life and routine.
Over those six years, he became so much more than a horse I looked after. Iโve built such a special relationship with him and his owners, and what started as work turned into a genuine friendship โค๏ธ
And Gamble certainly had a personality of his ownโฆ ๐
Iโm pretty sure he spent the majority of our six years trying to bite me! Whether I was grooming him, feeding him or simply standing within chomping distance, he always seemed to think โYep, todayโs the day Iโm finally getting her!โ ๐
Somehow, despite his best efforts, I survived every single attempted attack โ and I wouldnโt change any of it โค๏ธ
Behind all the funny memories is an enormous amount of love, and Iโm going to miss this grumpy boy more than I can put into words.
My heart goes out to his owners. I know how incredibly loved Gamble was, and Iโm sending you all my love and the biggest hug โค๏ธ
And of course, poor Teddy and sky have lost their companion too. ๐ Iโm sure they will miss having Gamble by their sides.
Gamble, thank you for being such a special part of my journey and for giving me six years of memories โ even if a suspiciously large number of those memories involved me trying not to get bitten! ๐
You will be so very missed, beautiful boy. Run free with mr frosty ๐๐
