Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary, Inc.

Sometimes we are rewarded with signs from above.

We said goodbye to an icon this week. Ms. Kachina, who has graced our sanctuary for over 16 years, was escorted with dignity and love to her afterlife.

Euthanasia is a hard decision. And it is, to an extent, a subjective decision. We do our best to make these decisions, putting the animal first, and tucking our emotions away for later.

There is so much that could be said about her life, and we will in the coming months. But for today, we want to share that Kachina's last day could not have been more perfect.

She did a walkabout, taking us on a journey of the sanctuary through her eyes, visiting first the horse barn where she cleaned up grain from each of the three open stalls and made a 19h Belgian horse named Norman fall in love.

From there, she circled back to the Courtyard, where so many of you met her, taking selfies and sneaking pets with the princess that she was. Finally, she returned to the heated vet clinic where she was surrounded by friends from all the years she lived. She was laid to rest so peacefully.

This photo was captured during those magical moments. It could not be a more perfect last image. We take it as a sign from above that it was time, and it's a reward to all who loved her.

Thank you, Kachina, for your lessons, your humor and your love. This place will not be the same without you, but you will never leave our hearts. ... See MoreSee Less
