Thor and a Shooting Star

Saw a shooting star this morning. I took it as a good sign. Well, part of the morning is good. I have an appointment for Thor at 2pm today. It's the latest we could get in. Unfortunately the normal vet is out so we're headed to a different vet office. We'll see if I like them better. Keep your fingers crossed that whatever is wrong with Thor is not major. I dont' want anything life altering. I can handle "pain in the butt", I can't handle life/death altering.

Also, this morning as I was pulling in to the gas station, who should be pulling out but the local (and very skummy) horse trader/killbuyer. He had half a load in his big gooseneck. I'm positive he was headed to Corsica. Luckily it'll be the last sale of the year for Corsica and then they are changing to weekends so maybe I can go and save the worst of the worst. That trader/KB makes me want to punch him in his face. It makes me feel slightly better that he thinks he's a big shot until he goes to one of the more major sales and then he's a nobody and no one bids on his horses. Still, it's disheartening to see horses headed to a fate so unknown. I'm sure he bought them at Saturday's Kramers sale (which I didn't have the energy to attend), and that he's going to take them through as loose horses. Never ending. Need to start fundraising to pull horses from auctions.

I must remember seeing the shooting star and to keep that as a good sign of good things to come. Keep your fingers crossed and please keep Thor in your thoughts and prayers.
