Injuries

I've had to do most of my chores lately in the dark. Last night I wasn't sure if the racoon in from of the tack room was dead or alive. Luckily it was dead (I had Mike check). But when I went back out, I could smell skunk. Farley, our lab mix, got sprayed the other day. I love fall but hate when all the varmits come out.

And because I'm doing chores in the dark, that's when I hear and see the varmits. It's usually either me or Mike doing chores in the dark. I've forgotten what the horses look like in the light.

I did get a chance to do chores in the daylight this morning. Much to my dismay, I should have kept a closer eye on Rabbit. I didn't realize it, but she went blind in her right eye. It's another vet visit I'm afraid. She also has a swollen left knee. I can't tell what hurts her because she wont' let me touch her. She's always been a "touch me not" type of horse but now she's really crabby about everything.

I just got the bill for Queen and Thor. I'm waiting for the major bill for Bo's bloodwork, and now we'll have Rabbit's vet bill. I have no idea what any of that will cost. To add insult to injury, I still have my hospital bill and Garrett's hospital bill. I think everyone is sick or hurt these last couple of months. So stressful.
