the lovely (and not so) white and puffy palliative puppy (who had an absolute BLAST out at the barn today)...mystic!
here is popeye..
popeye and gideon saying hello!
popeye's feet...it looks worse when you see them in real life....poor boy.
poor popeye. I think that he must know he is somewhere safe now. Even if the vets and farriers decide there is nothing to be done, which would be very sad. Giddeon is a such a good boy. I am sure Popeye is in pain still but perhaps feeling better inside. such a sad, sad thing. those pictures are hard to look at but I am sure it is going to be even harder to see it in person. my hearts breaks for him.
ann puppys do need a lot of attention but the only time i was able to see mustic was first thing in the morning. she really is a barn dog. never saw her after that gate opened up. so she most likely will do the same thing tomorrow. give her hugs and kisses right away or you will not have a chance. lol
Oh my goodness; that puppy is SUPER CUTE!!
As for Popeye, for those of us who don't know much about horse care, Carol, can you explain why a horse's hooves get like that? Is it because in the wild they would be travelling many miles in a day and therefore their hooves would be worn down naturally but, as domestic horses, they don't move much and so need farrier care? Very curious about this.
Thanks!
