Losing a loved one is the hardest thing anybody has to face. But for a child, the loss is even harder. For Applebloom, loss is something she's dealt with before, but never this firsthand.
Inspired by true events. Written from Applebloom's point of view.

Lovely, if sad, story, and very wise advice.
I know that I never take my Chihuahua, Pedro, out unless he's on his leash.
I didn't when he was just a year old pup, but then, he never went out of the yard where we were living at the time. I just stayed with him and watched him, and he always came back inside with me once he was done with is "business".
Then one day, he was sniffing around near the edge of our yard (we had tons of wild rabbits in the neighborhood, and he thought (I guess) that he was quite the hunter) when, for whatever reason, he bolted across the road in front of our house, to where a church property was. It scared me to nearly to death, and I know that it took me a full 30 minutes to chase his ornery little butt down, catch him, and carry him back across the road and take him back on the house.
After that, he has never gone out the door except on a leash. So yeah, keep your four-footed buddies on a leash, kids. it could save you a lot of pain and heartache if you do.

In addition to this, you keep misspelling Apple Bloom. (But that's a rather common mistake.)
6125845 Thanks for letting me know! But 'er' in this case is actually correct because I was trying to make it seem like a thick country accent, as it was written from Apple Bloom's point of view.
Pretty good. I get the feeling an actual child is writing here, without the horrible grammar that would generally follow with that.

Eventually!
Wow...that was a nice good sad one shot
. Losing a pet to either injury or old age can really put a tole on you. Especially with how long the Apple family had Winona, since they must’ve had her since she was a pup. When you’ had a pet for that long, it only makes it that much harder to say goodbye
. We wish our beloved furry friends would stay with us forever, to always be by our side...but eventually we’ll have to let go, and let them pass on into paradise
.
I remember a movie that I watched about three or four years ago, talking about a mare named Ruffian, who was a race horse that lived in the U.S.. She was an amazing race horse, won every single race that she was taken to
. Everyone loved here, and she was a national hit everywhere she went, so much so that it was thought that she’d race till the day she retired. Until that one fateful day that changed everything
.
Ruffian was going against a thoroughbred colt on one summer day. The stadium was packed and everyone was shaking in their seats to see the duo race, with some even betting each other on which horse would beat the other. Even the announcer sounded like excited so see Ruffian soon through the track. It wasn’t long before the whistle blew and both horses burst through the field and started galloping across the track. Everyone was practically screaming as they watched the race unfold. To some it would just seem like a race between two horses, but to me, it was more than that. These were to beautiful creations of Mother Nature racing against each other as if they were running wild and free through the grasslands and meadows with nothing keeping them restrained. The sight was amazing, the way they zoomed across the track almost as if theall were hours, the way their hooves thundered across the dirt ground as if their was an earthquake happening right beneath them, the way their names and tails whipped and flew through the air as they took long strides throughout the race, as if they were actually flying. It was amazing, and I’m pretty sure many of the people watching her were amazed too. It was a moment that seemed to go on forever, with nothing to ruin it...until it happened...when Ruffian broke her right foreleg
.
I’ll never forget the sickening spine chilling sound of her leg cracking. Even now, as I’m typing this comment, I can still hear it. The sound of the muscles and tendons ripping and tearing, along with the bone starting to crunch. Then, all to quickly, it snapped...and the whinnies that Ruffian let out immediately after...it was just...awful
.
Something deep down inside me that Ruffian’s fate was sealed and that her racing days were over, and it was only confirmed when the people that were caringn for her decided to put her out of her misery instead of letting her suffer. I can still see those large eyes that looked into those of her caretakers as she slowly fell into an eternal slumber. What really rigged at my heartstrings was while she was recovering she started moving both her forelegs as if she was galloping..she thought she was still racing
.
After that, they lay her to rest at the very track where she had her final race...it was a moment I’ll never forget for as long as I live. At least she’s finally at peace...wherever she is
.
Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to make that so long and dramatic...I just thought I say what this story reminded me of, that’s all. Your story is a perfect example of what many pet owners will have to go through...and that is to one day loss there pets, be it by attack, an accident, disease, or just by natural causes. It’s said yes, and the pain may never go away, but as long as you keep your pets memories alive, find someway to keep them in your head and your heart, and remember all the good times you’v spent together...they’ll never truly be gone
. I think that’s another lesson that Apple Bloom can learn here. That way, Winona won’t be completely gone, and perhaps one day, they’ll be reunited once more
. Farewell Winona, you’v been a great partner and a wonderful friend...may you find eternal happiness in Paradise
.
Great one shot by the way, very sad, but very good too
I just lost my dog last fall. Why did I read this? What possessed me to read this? This was amazing but now I'm sobbing.
Winona, no!
