Good News!!

Another pictureless blog. Some day I'll get the camera going.
Yay Lexi!! The pain meds have made her comfortable and she is meandering around the yard. Her leg still hurts, but she's eating and even lying down to rest. (And getting up).
We'll keep her comfortable and enjoy every day with her.
Today there was a brief flash of sunshine. Jesse and Quest joined Buck, the donkeys and mules for a bit of freedom. Chardonnay, Sunny and Aurora ( the Arabs) went out, too, but it was amazing to watch the parade to the barn at feeding time tonight. The cold rain drops were an added incentive. The Arab mares waited at the barn gate and marched in for the night. There are sure clever critters here at Home At Last.
Patches spent part of the day on his back in front of the heater with his back feet on the heater. Then tonight as I was bathing he played fetch with his plastic ball. He purr talks as he brings it and drops it. He chases it and returns it. Sometimes the game goes on for ten minutes.
Little Buck is quite a character. He canters around, bucks and generally feels good. He makes friends with the big horses, but if they try to bully him, he stands up to them. Jesse thought he might push him around some, but it didn't work. In fact, Buck stood almost underneath him and continued to eat.
The buckskins took many naps. When animals get comfortable in their surroundings, they relax and snooze.
