My hauler is on the way to pick up Tabitha as I write this. That means I have about 8 hours to raise the funds. (My trailers cannot get in to where she needs to be picked up, or I would have done it.)
Tabitha has had so many issues since her birth, and although her new Mama was one of our adopters who still has a horse she adopted from us, it was not a good fit. Tabitha has been a total mess since she got there. I am still looking for a baby who IS the right fit for her Mama, but Tabitha needed to come home asap. I am so grateful her Mama realized right away that this was not the best baby for her. There are times when we get babies who are kind of “special needs” and right now Tabitha is one of those. We had delayed the adoption to give her time to settle and start under halter, etc.
I also need to order about $450 more milk powder and baby grain.
Truck repairs today are $790 and I need to get that paid asap. Truck brakes are needed in the next few weeks, and at some point I need to get the big oil leak/repair done. However, for now it is just some maintenance, repaired lines and oil and filter changes.
Both vet bills were paid in full! Thank you!
Of course, that means Doc had to come out and lay down both of the big kids for some work on their hooves. Both of them came in with some pretty messed up hooves and Destiny’s was split clear up to the top. Doc measured Destiny and figures she is about 2300 pounds. She would not “take her nap”, even with massive amounts of anesthesia, and he had to come back out the same day with more meds and was finally able to lay her down.
I guess it is Murphy’s Law, as soon as you pay off the vet bill, someone does something or someone new comes in or someone needs something.
Good news – It looks like Cherry has her new home as well. She should be picked up this weekend.
I appreciate all of y’all and your wonderful love and support! Any help towards the haul, bill for the truck and some more groceries for Tabitha is greatly appreciated!
Hugs and thank you,
Palomino & All the Critters
