Wed – Friday Update

Updates from this past week…

Wednesday. Some tests were run on Lucy and Dr. Ryan took the trach stitches out.

Lucy still likes to give kisses. Everyone loves Lucy. She is doing well. We are waiting for her blood test results to come back from UF.

Ricky, Lucy’s bird friend, visiting with her outside of her stall.

Sisco’s eye was ok. He has allergies to the no-see-ums.

Yesterday (Thursday):
I worked offsite all day – it was a difficult day. I returned home with this request of everyone: None of us know if our own tomorrow will come. Please make provisions for your animals so that should something happen to you they are safe and provided for. Be it with other family, friends, a trusted rescue or sanctuary. Love them enough to make sure they are not orphaned and without.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers today. And many thanks those that work in the background, helping, even with toughest of things. You are all angels and I am very blessed that you are part of my life – part of this rescue. Some days in the life of a rescuer are very difficult – the highs, the lows – it really is a never ending roller coaster ride. But I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Thursday evening – it was good to be home. CaryLou had his catheter removed which he is very thankful for (so are we). His trach is still an issue.

Today so far (Friday): Meet Cerinade. AKA Ceri. Very sweet girl that has a bit of rehab ahead of her. She is only 16 but looks and moves like she is much older. Ceri needs sponsors – would anyone like to help? She needs farrier work, dental, vaccinations, etc. Any amount would help and no amount is too small.

Please don’t forget about our raffle items!

Vintage brass locket and earring set graciously donated and made by Debbie F.
Per Debbie: This lovely set features a vintage brass textured locket. I have accented the locket with a detailed vintage brass stamping with raised features of a horse’s head with riding crop. The vintage brass locket and stamping have the original patina which has mellowed to a lovely warm color. The inside of the locket has a copper rim. Locket measures 1.25". A beautiful vintage 1950’s glass jewel in Siam Ruby compliments the locket. Total drop of jewel and locket is 2". I have attached them to an 18" fine gold plated solid brass rolo chain with a gold plated brass lobster clasp for closure. The earrings feature very special vintage 1940’s solid brass horse heads which measure 1/2". They also have their original patina which has mellowed to a lovely warm color. They dangle beneath rare vintage 1950’s Swarovski crystals in Siam Ruby. I have attached the dangles to gold plated solid brass lever back ear wires to complete the look. Earrings have a total measurement of 2".

Please make sure all bids are e-mailed to me at: bhfer.melissa@hotmail.com.
