Last year I was caring for my very sick horse Izzy, who I had to have put to sleep last September. That was a week after I lost my adopted doggie (Googie) to a neurological illness. I spent the rest of last year just dealing with my broken heart & loving my cat & doggie I still have. January I started working for 4 months doing night foal watch at the amazing TB farm just 1/4 mile down the road from my farm. 35 pregnant mares to keep watch on & call the delivery crew when labor started after getting them into the foaling stall that had heating, oxygen for any difficult births. My first mare to deliver in Jan was in the middle of a 9 inch snow storm at 3am. What an amazing learning experience. Working 5 days a week from 8pm to 4am or 5am was pretty much all I did except sleep the rest of the time.
We had a major hail storm in May that damaged all the roofs around here. Have spent since may arranging a new roof, & some major clearing of overgrown brush & trees on my farm & caring for my last eskie doggie who is 16 & hasn't been doing very well lately. I think should just run an animal nursing home on my farm. It is what I am most practiced at now in my life.
I was mowing the 5 acres around the house & barn where I had kept my horse. Barn Kitty (BK) jumped into my truck & rode home with me after I invited her to come home with me since I didn't want to drive up to the barn every day to feed her. When I was done mowing for the year.
