Raul, our local Horse Dentist (from "Equine Answers"), paid Massie Lodge a visit this morning and saw our old girl, Vera (Ophira - and the current Victor V Mower) who was having a few problems with eating her feed. Now all of you who know Vera, know that she sometimes isnt the easiest girl to deal with and I was pleasantly surprised to see how well she took to Raul and let him do his job without any problems. I had the pleasure (??) of being able to feel the "before" and "after" in Vera's mouth and I have to say that it was quite, um.. a different experience putting my whole hand in her mouth...and then having a green slimy hand to deal with!
Both Evan and I have been a little bit concerned about our spritely 19 year old of late as she has been not herself and according to Chris who had a quick look at her on Thursday said that her heart murmur seems to have worsened since initial diagnosis last year. Still, she is my girl and we will make her happy and keep her comfortable while we can. Speaking of Chris coming to Massie Lodge on Thursday.
Thursday was microchipping day for the not so little ones. Now how upset am I that I missed that occasion?
Meanwhile, back at Massie Lodge, Evan struggled with the little ones as the local Army base at Oakey decided that they had to fly their helicopters right over Massie Lodge at about 100ft in the air. One can understand why the yearlings were a handful with that sort of noise overhead. Iam now the lucky owner of one contact number for the Army base and will certainly be getting in contact with the Duty Officer to complain. (Yes, its hard to imagine that I would be a "complainer" isnt it?).
Ok, enough about that... a few bits and pieces before I go and have some lunch .......
Throb (aka Lightning Angel) went up to Pauls last week. The transport company (yes the one we love!) said that they were coming Thursday but turned up unannounced on Wednesday when they said that they were too busy. Go Figure.
Sunny (2yo Filly by Kbenjar out of Miss Independence), has been moved to the stables of Fred Adams at Toowoomba who will prepare her for the Ready to Runs.
Susie (aka Star Ferry) pulled up fine from her hit out.
Helen (aka me), is profoundly exhausted.
Evan (aka Mr. Gallopers) is in need of a break after wrestling with the yearlings during the microchipping process on Thursday.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
