Wednesday, March 5, 2025 – Quiet Morning, Nancy Leaves In The Afternoon

Hiya Sweetie!
Slept well and little late, but so did Nancy, so it all worked out. Fed the horses, had a quiet breakfast while the rain went through, and put in the DVD from your Huntsville World Premiere of The Legacy of Galileo, since she'd never seen it before. I'm sorry the audio isn't better on that copy, I'm going to research it to see if I can add subtitles. We had lunch at Willard's with Michelle, a little thank you for letting Nancy use her trailer, then it wasn't long before we were headed to the airport, with a stop at the feed store for another 21-bale block of coastal, though this wasn't the nice green stuff anymore, just typical coastal, which the horses aren't as thrilled about, naturally. Once I got back, Michelle and her husband came by, helped unload all that hay under my gooseneck, and hauled off their trailer. Very grateful to them! Then I went to feed the horses and found Flash lying down. In itself, that was nothing to worry about, he does that all the time, just not at suppertime. He got up and drank some water, but then rather than come to get his feedbag, he went back and laid down. Now I was worried. I put a halter on him and took him out of the corral and walked him around a bit, then walked him over to the little trailer and tied him to it, where, as usual, he took a dump, which made me feel a little better. I gave him some Banamine and we walked some more, and I lunged him on a short line for awhile, took him back to the corral, where he drank again, but then once again, went to lay down. I got him up again and walked him over to some grass, where, thank goodness, he started munching. I let him graze a bit, then brought him back to the corral (limping all this time, by the way), and he finally went to the hay bag and started eating. Crisis averted! I watched one Everwood, took my shower, checked on Flash (he was fine!) and now I'm just about ready for bed. I'd crash tomorrow, except I have a doctor's appointment, and probably a little shopping, but after that, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be taking the weekend off to recover! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
