Random crap

Smol Luke story (1?)

So, I It this good idea of telling stories about Smol Luke.

I believe the only one here I've told is the Dolphin story, unless I've told the Jeep store story here 🤔

Anywho, I'm not gonna (re)tell either of those stories today. Today, we're gonna be talking about Smol Luke's attachments to an animal.

And yes, there will be a picture.

Anywho, the story is going to be about my close bond with my great uncle's horse: Buck.

However, this story does get sad pretty quickly, just a heads up.

So, for as long as I can remember, my great uncle owned a ranch, he had a bunch of horses. In a way, he's a cowboy. He used to own this horse named Buck (picture above), and super smol Luke loved him. I would always ride Buck every time I went to his ranch. However, since I live on the eastern side of Minnesota, and they live on the western side of South Dakota, I only get to see Buck once a year. A lot of people in my family like to think that Buck and I grew extremely close, despite the amount of time we actually spent together. We were so close, my great uncle actually let me ride Buck without him holding onto the reigns a couple times.

However, in spring of 2014, my mom had came into my room, and told me that Buck had gotten sick, and was put down. The last time I had gotten that upset before then was when my pet fish died, which was a year and a half prior. Buck had lived to be around 27 years old, and when I went to see my family in SD again, my great uncle actually gave me two of Buck's horseshoes. One front, and one back. He kept the other two.

But, it was also then that my family tried what they could to help me move on from the loss of Buck, by having me ride another horse. I don't remember it's name off the top of my head, but I know for sure it wasn't as calm, or gentle as Buck was, but instead more wild and aggressive. Either way, riding the horse didn't feel the same as riding Buck. He was the only horse I had actually ridden, I believe, and having to ride another horse as if Buck was simply that replaceable just made me feel... empty.

I haven't actually ridden a horse since Buck died. It's just not the same when you're not riding on a horse you had gotten to know and love for a majority of your life at the time, and it still isn't now. Buck and I had a special relationship with each other, we were like a good team. Ever since I lost him, there's always been an emptiness inside of me whenever I went to SD, simply because I knew I wouldn't be able to go to my great uncle's house and hang out with Buck.

I still miss him everyday, and I sometimes still get emotional thinking about him. He was a good friend to me, and it hurt so much to have him go without even getting to say goodbye... I keep his horseshoes at my moms house, hung up on my wall. I remember buying a horse head sculpture that looked like Buck before he died so that I could hold something when he did pass, even though I had a hard time accepting the fact that it would happen soon.

He was a good partner and friend though. Even now, five years later, I still picture him looking down on me with all my other passed pets and relatives.

Anyway, enough of my self reflections about a dead horse. That's gonna be my story for the day. Lemme know if you want some more stories about Smol Luke (and I promise you, they will most likely not be as sad as this one).

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I'M DECIDING TO BE LATE AND UNORIGINAL AGAIN!

Hopefully people here remember when a couple users made their own Q&A chapters, letting everyone ask them as many questions as they wanted, and would eventually answer them after a certain amount of time.

WELL IT'S MY TURN NOW! If y'all have any questions for me about anything— whether it be curiosity, personal, random, or just memes—I answer them!

Though knowing how've I've been with asking people for feedback, and no one actually responding, I'm not exactly ready to see this go well, but meh.

Actually I've tried this over a year ago. Tag 20 I believe it was. I had asked y'all to give me 13 questions, and the only person who actually asked anything was Lapis, so I decided to scrap the tag and leave it abandoned in the dust that is the first 30 chapters of this book! So yeah, that'll be all for today! Baiiiii~!

As you can see, I'm trying way too hard to get everyone's moods up after reading that sad af story.
