Thanks all,
It really was too bad. I had been working every weekend on getting it done so she could come home, I just fell a weekend short. The extreme rain we've experienced along with a bout with pneumonia, were set-backs.
This past week she had been acting very irritated and seemed to have an issue particularly on one side. Friday night she was extremely uncomfortable and quite dangerous to be in the stall with, striking out with front and rear kicks. A lot of power in the old gal. She was a fighter till the end. She had various illnesses in the past and wasn't expected to pull through but always fought her way back. She had a good life.
The barn will get finished just without the pressure. Anyone with a spouse that loves animals knows that the stalls won't stay empty forever. She won't go looking, but rather something will find her, I'm pretty sure.
