Well, I'm feeling alot better now, so I think I'll go ride Harley for just a little bit. It's still very humid, and I've got all that s#!t in my head and chest from the cold breaking loose and it seems like when I go out side and do lots of moving around I get to coughing, but I'm going to try. Mack is out working and I'm home alone. I've got a few errands to run later when it gets really hot. See you all later.

Try to control yourself today, with the vet there:)

He's gone... he arrived while I was still brushing. Gave everyone shots, Cyn was really good for her shots, and the vet really liked her. This is the first time he's really vetted her. And ~she's~ the one I think has bad ground manners. She was a dream. Didn't flick an ear for her shots. He's not worried about her stifle at all. He saw what she does, but it isn't much.

Bay circled around for a couple minutes like a hot snot with the needle in his butt... He was hot today... Plus he had his tear ducts flushed out. Have you guys ever seen that done? There's a tiny hole in their nostril that is the outlet for the tear duct, the tube runs right under the skin from the eye to the nose. If it gets clogged, they get some goopy or runny eyes. He stuck a small syringe into the hole in the nostril, and flushed water till it came out his eye. Bay thought it was about the weirdest thing anyone's ever done to him sober.

When we gave shots to the pony, she did this:


A capriole to rival any lipizanner ;~D

Afterwards, we lunged Bay so that the vet could see how he's moving. Still full of adrenaline I think from the vetting, he floated around on the lunge and danced and snorted and acted like a two year old stud horse. The vet said "I think he's just fine. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just fine in ten more years, he looks great." I can't take all the credit for good genes, but I'm pretty proud of his health at 24.
