Tuff in his happier days.
I shared Tuff's story with you in an earlier post. After the steroids were used up he returned to the terrible condition he had earlier. He was so stiff and hurt so much he could hardly walk or get up. Finally on Friday, February 11, 2011 he woke up unable to move. I called my daughter and she came and comforted him and realizing that he was suffering so much and was not going to get better we decided several hours later to call the vet and have him come and made his departure easier. Many tears were shed over this precious dog.
This is Oaky.
Madasan showing Oaky. Oaky was a 1,900 pound Maine Anjou bull that Madasan had shown in the 2008 and 2009 show season. He won Grand Champion Bull for two years at the AR State Fair. He had been retired from the show ring and was being used as a breeding bull. He had already proven himself by being the father of many beautiful Main Anjou babies.
Tonight when we returned home from church Brett had the bad news that he found Oaky down in the little creek, behind the house, and he was dead. It appeared that he had been fighting with Oscar the bull that was retired before Oaky.
There were many tears shed around their place tonight. They get as attached to these 1,900 pound animals as much as we do our small pets. Oaky had his own personality...he only liked Madasan.
Our pet cemetery now has two beautiful bulls (Romeo and Oaky) buried beside my dog Tuff.

Dogs, horses, bulls - they all have their little personalities that we learn to love. I'd hate to go through life without them.
