What if….

Embrace passed away overnight Monday night.  And since then I can’t help but wonder….

What if we hadn’t bred her last year and she wouldn’t have had a cria in June?  Was that too much for her?   She had 5 crias in each October from 2002 to 2006.  Then 3 spring crias in 2008, 2009 and 2010. 

What if we hadn’t sheared her fiber so short this year?  She really hadn’t grown much fiber back this fall.

What if we had weaned her cria sooner? 

What if we had put a coat on her sooner?

What if we had taken her to a warmer place sooner?

What if we had kept her here?

There is no ‘re-do’ button in life.  There are no answers to those questions.  Embrace will be missed.
