Good Monday Morning to All!
Wanted to give an update on Marigold and Destiny 2/16/09.
Destiny is doing well, eating, drinking and other bodily functions working well. The psyllium is doing its job. He is receiving the Vita-Joint as Dr. Adam stated this will assist all of his joints. This morning I gave him the Pony Pop that Debbie had packed in his little suitcase. He really likes that along w/ carrots. He is beginning to truly relax as I am able to walk in his stall when he is lying down and love on him w/o him jumping up. He is very curious and if you stand back from him, curiosity gets the best of him and he saunters up for some scratches.
I had some initial concerns w/ Marigold but this morning she seemed to turn a corner. Debbie had informed me that Marigold did lie down a lot. She has been eating well, and drinking very well and all other bodily functions working well also. It was just the lying down so much that was a cause of concern. Well, this morning she popped up when she saw us coming to feed. Her feed barrel was completely empty from the night before, and when we approached her stall she began talking up a storm, demanding her breakfast. Her eyes are much brighter this A.M. and while I type this, she is still eating. All very good signs. I am however scheduling an appointment w/ Dr. Adam (as soon as he returns my call, he could be a new daddy by now). I would like him to run a blood panel on her to see if there is anything else that may be going on internally.
Everything else is going well here and it is quiet. All the horses enjoyed their two Valentine's Cookies each. I tasted one and I must say.. not bad.
Diane gave carrots to all the horses, Lucy, we gave them carrots telling them that this bag was from Auntie Lucy.
We would like to thank everyone. Pat S. & Bev, thanks for getting the cookies.
I also would like to thank everyone who has participated in our Hay Drive Fund raisers. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate your assistance.
I would also like to say thank you to all those that have assisted w/ Marigold and Destiny.
