Sounds like the best solution would be to trap them, then turn them out, maybe out in the back forty, away from the house, then shoot them out there.
Nasty things... OK - If hubby wants to shoot them I guess I’ll plan on making some coffee and staying up with him tonight!
Vet’s been and gone. Said he really wonders if Bay’s got the wrong papers, he’s in such good health. :~) His teeth didn’t need done, and they’re still good. He think better then we have a right for them to be. :~)
He was off in the canter. That’s an issue I’m not sure I’ve mentioned here yet, that I’ve just been privately stewing about. He’s fine in the trot, reaches just as far in back as he always has. He just used to have such a nice canter and now he’s really disunited in back, constantly changing leads back and forth. I had been suspecting arthritis in his hips, but he doesn’t think so. He didn’t do a lot of diagnostics either. Less than I’d hoped. Thought he just needed to do some riding and walking on trail and getting in better shape. And that he’s just old. I did say I didn’t care if he ever cantered under saddle again so maybe that kept him from worrying very much about it.
Cyn’s fine. And she was good for the vet. She’s too fat. Doesn’t want her on grass very much. I’ve been limiting her. Thinks she needs work.
Pony was a complete snot. Was hard to even get shots in her. Airs above the ground. The brat. He said if she was Bay’s size he’d be afraid to work around her. I think I’m like one of those people who has a small obnoxious dog that bites but doesn’t take it seriously because she’s little. We’re assuming her teeth need done but will put it off till fall. I don’t think he felt like doing it today.
Shots for everyone and a release to go back to work... $325.
Oh - and he took a needle aspirate of Barkley’s armpit lump. It’s just fat. No charge. :~)
