More: We lost Kip one month ago at the age of sixteen, she was feisty and ran the farm until the very day she passed. The day before her passing, before we even knew she was ill, she loudly demanded I take her for a ride in the truck with the windows down after which she came home chased the horses and enjoyed a bossing session with her Jack Russell brothers.. The next morning she crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully. We miss her every day.
