Daisy came to us with Dalai (they were young herd mates) and was about a year old in February 2009. She had the biggest heart and most skill at climbing mountains. Her large sized feet may be another reason she was one of our best trekkers. Daisy was very smart and knew how to strip the elm leaves from the branches without eating the twig. She could also find the weak spots in a fence and sneak through to go on adventures. Daisy was not afraid to explore and was often the first to try a new area.
Daisy died on January 21, 2019 after struggling with pneumonia. We tried two types of antibiotics for about a month. There was a few days when she was going in circles due to the infection perhaps spreading to her ear. She would only walk to the left and had poor balance. She looked like she was getting better two weeks into her treatment when her appetite returned and her balance returned - walking straight and loving her nibbles. But all the sudden one day she lost her appetite again and was gone the next day.
Daisy sometimes looks a little put out because her ears are often down or out to the side. But Daisy has a servant’s heart that wouldn't quit and never complained on the trail no matter how difficult. She loved to nibble at the foliage on the trail and looked forward to feeding time. Daisy was also rescued from the same abandoned farm as Dalai. They were together in a tiny corral that was never cleaned out when we rescued them.
We will miss Daisy very much and are sorry to see her go.
