Good morning! The time is never correct on the blog- it's 5 am, in Hudson NH. Scribbles had her stitches out this Wednesday. It was uneventful, Dr George removed the stitches from her face without incident. I think it felt good for Scribbles to have the stitches removed. It really looks good. On the wound on her right inside leg, she has what's called Proud-flesh, where the wound isnt closing up because the flesh that's new is sort of growing up higher than the skin that wants to close around it. Dr George gave me some cream to put on it to help with this, and then I have to wrap it. I've become pretty quick at it! Best of all when Dr George was about to get in his truck to leave, he said "See you next Spring!". While he and his family are always a pleasure to see, fingers crossed that we dont see Deerfield Veterinary until we're ready for spring shots.
Kelly is getting a new horse this weekend, we're welcoming Rosa, a Mustang mare from Maine! Our daughter, Amy taught / worked at Camp Runoia in Maine (Belgrade Lakes, it's gorgeous!!!!). They have an amazing array of learning experiences for the girls who attend the camp, and it's such a cool place. Sailing, gardening, tennis, horsebackriding- the list is endless! Rosa was part of the riding program for six years and a is ready to be a one-person horse. Knowing this, Amy wanted to bring her home. However, with two horses already of our own, we couldnt consider taking home another. Kelly however is "horseless", as Missie belongs to her daughter! As Kelly has been searching for her new horse, I recalled Rosa, made a call to Runoia and we are so fortunate that Rosa was still looking for her new "one person" home. I'm so happy for Kelly- and pleased that Pam will let us welcome her home here.
Okay, Kelly knows that Rosa will be showered with loving from all us girls at the barn, but we all share our horses with each other and sufficiently spoil each and every one. Though when we saddle up, we clearly know whose horse belongs to who- when they're out there being horses, and looking for some attention I am so happy to say there is no distinction as to which horse is loved most!
New blankets ... for mom?
Lastly, Mom , I know you're a little behind on reading my blog, but it's here for you to catch up with when you're back to reading the computer. My mom has trouble seeing well, (macular degeneration) but loves to watch the horses from her windows in her house. Unfortunately the brown horses blend in with the brown landscape! So I've ordered some budget friendly blankets for Splash and Scribbles which are lime green and bright pink plaid so mom can spot the horses a mile away!! You'll know just as soon as they come in, as you'll see our flashy girls out there in the paddocks behind your house :)
Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
