I really thought that your climate would be more conducive to decomposition rather than mummification. hmm or else it was buried in an anaerobic environment, that might produce similar appearance. hmm.
Fascinating. (insert Spock gif here)
The plumber guy found a mummified duck under The House once...no clue how the duck got in there.
If it will heal. The lower fracture is evidently in pieces, he'll have surgery to reconstruct it, too early to tell if it will ultimately work.
The difficulty with horses is there is really very little blood flow to the lower leg, it's all bone and tendon, very little muscle. So injuries there are slower to heal than we would be, and they HAVE to move for there to be proper circulation. Stall them for long periods and they have major complications to not just this leg, but all their legs. So it'll be a challenging recovery regardless. The key will be to get it stabilized to the point where he can be put to pasture to move.
We're only really guessing that it came from under the house, and we're only really guessing Cisco found it, because he's the only one that could fit under there that would have pulled it out. And he was here, and disappeared around the corner a few times where he might have been under there.
You want to know what I immediately thought it was before I looked close? I looked over to where Zulu was buried.
Empress did that ones with a rotisary chicken in a bag like that. Killed a perfectly good microwave.
We're on our way toward the HH 'mummified menagerie'.
You just HAD to post that after I just got done watching The Mommy Returns...
He was definitely under the house at some point - he musta banged his head or something 'cause there was a loud *thump*.
But the possum is just bizarre.
EEEEK!!
I'm so very happy that the "discovery" was made after I'd gone.
The mystery is how it became mummified down there.
and you didn't notice any odors... right...
it's funny... cuz every interview with theneighbors of heinous murderers always say, "they were so normal...", "we're so surprised.." while in the background, sheet-covered bodies are being carried outta the crawlspace...
so what/who else yuh got stashed under there?...
But it's like an archeology experiment! I'm sorry you missed it :~D
he's adorable...
that's a good possum... good'ndead...
so what/who else yuh got stashed under there?...
This place, with all the weird frap I've found here, could be ~anything~ down there :~D
they're still lookin' fer Hoffa yuhknow...
That's weird. Glad you didn't freak Ruthy out with it.
He'd be more likely to be at your place than mine :~D
I'm outta here... time fer church...
been asked tuh teach the collegekidsclass this summer... what were they thinkin'?...
I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of the aforementioned person on my premises...
that and the "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me" have saved me a lotta trouble...
We did call Rosie over just to see...
Yeah but it's fun to mentally scar her.
(sorry Rosie!) :-)
