Heaven Has Another Angel RIP Cakes | Wordless Wednesday

Cakes
1984 - 2016

Cakes passed away sometime the night of Monday, January 4 in her sleep.  
Her burial was today, Wednesday, January 6, here on our farm.

We purchased Cakes in 1985 when she was just 1 year old to be a weaning buddy for my filly, Ditty (daughter of my heart horse, Lady.)  She came with the name Babe, along with her mama, Rocky.  We soon altered her name to Cakes because she tended to look as if she'd had a few too many cakes or cupcakes.  Poor girl fought a weight problem for most of her life.

We were blessed with nearly 31 years with this blue eyed crazy character who was every bit as sweet as her name.

Run free, sweet Cakes.
You will be greatly missed and remembered with love.
