An open letter
| December 16, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I wanted to share with my readers an e-mail I wrote for my favorite e-mail list – the yahoo new100milers list. It’s that time again – time to inject Farley’s hocks. I got 8 1/2 months from the last set of injections and probably could have stretched it out another 4-6 weeks, but standing in […] more
Soaked Hay
| December 15, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Today I have decided to start soaking my horse’s hay. Or at least, that’s what it looks like. Today they were predicted showers, not unremitting downpours. In fact, it was a paltry 40% chance of showers. Today I bought hay, since at approximately 11 am it looked like this forecast was accurate. Although it was […] more

I just don’t have time unless they want to visit while mucking […] more
You are my sunshine….

I’ve been stuggling through each day. My head is full of wool and I wonder if people think I’m a drug addict because I can’t enunciate my words and my eyes won’t focus. On weekends I sleep until noon and am in bed by 6pm the following evening. It’s sheer torture to get out of […] more
Pigeon Fever Update
| December 3, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Culture came back negative, but vet still isn’t convinced it isn’t pigeon fever. As it has progressed, it looks less and less like pigeon fever and more like a bit combined with cellulitis, however I’m still taking precautions until a decision is made either way. Here’s a link to an information page about pigeon fever: […] more
