Expensive pet month!

[Bogertophis]

...

But after this night from hell and the exhaustion, when they all stared at me, including my old girl, the wrong words tumbled out of my mouth. Instead of "put her down" which is what I wanted to say, "lets do it" came out. And before I could even say another word they all went right back to work, furiously. So that was that.

She survived. And she recuperated. And there are so many days since then that she enjoyed life. So I do not regret it, even if she were to drop dead tomorrow. She is my therapy, she keeps me in shape going to the barn and doing physical labor every day, rain or shine. She makes me laugh, that horse has personality (and lots of opinions, but stays respectful

But yes, that bill was a whopper alright. I always tell everyone, I have a very expensive horse !!! LOL...

Oh, LOOK at that FACE! Our "pets" may not be human, but they are still family, & this is what you do for family.
