Back Out at Shiloh...

Finally we were back out at Shiloh after some of our travels. We do leave out of town again on weds, so the rescue is still closed to volunteers and visitors until September 30th when we will be back on our normal schedule.

Sad news as we had to have the vet out today and had to have two of our old guys, Gomez and Shadow, put down. Both of their conditions had just deteriorated and we did not want their quality of life to be affected anymore than it already was. Shadow was in his 30's and we think Gomez was almost 40. They were both euthanised in their barn stalls while they were eating food and they both passed very quickly and peacefully. As sad as we are to say good bye to these old Gummie friends, we thank them both for having been a part of the Shiloh Family for so many years. We pray for them as they continue their journey...

But, some happy news as little Dynamite was happily adopted to a family today! He hopped right into the trailer and headed on his way to his new home and future...

Some photos from today:

A new arrival at Shiloh- this is Graffiti. "Fitti" was owned and ridden by my younger brother, Clint, when he was growing up. She is in her 30's now and is retired at Shiloh. Welcome Fitti!
