Hey Friends – I am quite preoccupied right now as I am caring for one of our horses…Dot.
She has an abscess in her hoof and she is in lots of pain and hobbling around and it is awful and I am at my wits end trying to relieve her and help! I have logged many hours caring for ill children and pets, but a 1,000+ pound mammal that lives in a barn out back presents a whole new set of challenges.
Even in her pain she is still a sweet horse, working with me instead of against me in all that I am attempting to do. The vet has been here and gave me my instructions and hopefully in a couple of days we will see some relief – or they may have to take more invasive measures. We don’t want that.
{heavy sigh}
I miss my daughter now that she’s away at college, but I really miss her right now as she is an amazing horsewoman and I know she could handle this much better than I.
I know it’s “just a horse” but if you would lift up a prayer that her hoof would quickly heal I would be so very appreciative!
Blessings to each of you!
