Horse Lovers?
I've been around horses for a lot of my life, but this is a new one for me. My neighbor has had two horses for the past 4 years (both were older horses). On Monday she had to have one put down. It was very heartbreaking, but what's really getting to me is watching her other horse. He's looking for his buddy, and it's so sad. I go out and give him treats a couple of times a day, and he's happy for them, but as soon as I run out, he's back to looking for her.
Does anyone know how long this will last? I'm guessing he's just looking for her (they were together at least 10 years), or is he in mourning? I know people tend to "humanize" animals, so to me it looks like he's sad, but I don't know.
