Mini Warrior

Here are a few pictures of the mini. He is skin on bones – so very sad.

Dr. Ryan was out of the area today but Dr. Nathan came out. We’ll have blood work results back in the morning. A catheter was put in and fluids with all sorts of healthy things were run. There does appear to be some nerve damage – we have yet to see him move his tail. He is passing poop though – that is a very good thing.

Some sores we’ll be treating and keeping an eye on.

My camera battery died again but he took a nap after Dr. Nathan left and he got something in his tummy. I’m sure he is exhausted.

We’re all exhausted and are going to get a couple of hours of sleep. It’s going to be very busy tomorrow but I’ll update when I can. His name is Warrior. Please keep him in your prayers.

Prayer Request

We hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th of July. We got through the town’s fireworks display last night with only a few horses getting a bit antsy. Tonight it will be surrounding farms and those are the ones we worry about the most.

I’d like to ask for prayers in advance – we have an incoming mini that has been severely neglected and was found down and close to death. He’d gone down a couple of days before someone found out about him and did something. I don’t have the whole story yet but I know it isn’t a good one. Dr. Nathan will be out as soon as we give him a call upon the mini’s arrival. The sling and stall are ready – he can’t stand on his own. He is very thin – skin draped on bones. I’d also like to ask for prayers for Peggy Sue. She seems to be having a tough time with her back leg. The good news is that Spirit is no worse. It’s miserably hot and she’d rather not be in a stall but the sun is too much for her at this time.

Thank you – I’ll update more later.

Sincerely,

Spirit update and Domino donkey ears!

I want to share a quick update on Spirit and share a few pictures from today.

Dr. Ryan examined Spirit today and said he thinks her injuries look better but we all know it is going to take quite awhile for them to heal. She will be getting some laser light therapy which will help in many ways. She is sore and sunburned in areas so massage is out of the question for awhile.

Dr. Ryan examined her eyes again and is going to talk with associates at Peterson & Smith to see if there is any surgical procedure that could potentially help Spirit’s left eye. We are holding onto hope that something can be done. She’s very cooperative when being examined and when her wounds are being treated.

She was taking a siesta after eating her hay.

When I saw storms coming late this evening I asked Marie to spray water on the roof over Spirit’s stall while I was in there with her so she could get used to the noise and know that it was ok. It’s hard to hear anything when it rains due to the rain hitting the metal roof. Spirit seemed a little unsure at first so I talked to her and told her it was ok – just water hitting the roof – and she went back to eating. And then the storms hit – very bad thunder and lightning – but she was fine. I did stay with her for a bit longer and when I left her she was content.

I have to share this picture of Domino and her ears – she’s so cute! I’ve been concerned about Lacey’s weight and appetite. She’s also been getting a little pushy with Dora so I want to try to figure out what is going on. Dr. Ryan pulled blood today to rule out some things and Domino was so curious!

If you have time we encourage you to visit the Horse & Man blog – it’s very informative and this month Spirit is featured!! Thank you Dawn and everyone helping Spirit!

Please keep Spirit in your prayers. God bless and thank you!

1914 translation by H. Rackham

“But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
