Boogie Down, Bay Mare!

Man, talk about an up-and-down week! About 1:30 AM Tuesday morning, Isis colicked. Very mild, from what they said. She basically went down, got back up, had a slightly elevated heart rate and that was it. She was given some mineral oil. During the day, she passed the mineral oil and had a very good appetite.

I saw Isis yesterday evening after work. Her vet student had taken her out to graze and was delighted with how well Isis was doing. Except that Isis had apparently scrapped her leg. The stalls at the vet school are rubberized: rubber mats on the floor and a special paint on the walls. Now I can honestly say that Isis will hurt herself even in a rubber room. That’s my girl.

So the good news? She is coming home tonight or tomorrow! Wheee!

    Where did October go? I suddenly blinked and it was gone and November is looming large. December isn’t too far behind, judging by the Christmas crap that’s appearing in the stores. (Christmas crap = the tacky decorations that get shoved on unwilling consumers to encourage them to buy buy buy during the ever-extending holiday season.)…

  • Update on Rajiyyah

    I went out and saw Rajiyyah today. She is definitely looking better. She has filled out — she is well muscled over her hips and shoulders. Her coat is thick and winterized, although she will start shedding out soon. She is such a character. We had snow for an entire weekend, so she spent more…
