Blake Cuts His Leg Open


This morning Mister Albino went to say hello to the horses in the back paddock at Wyandot County Equine Rescue and noticed that one of them had a bloody leg. He called me to take a look at it and I immediately phoned the office to let them know a horse had been injured. While waiting for Dave, the Director, and his assistant, Laura, to arrive, I managed to get a halter on the paint horse and separate him from the rest of the herd. No one knows how he did it, but "Blake" had severed a tendon! After he was sedated, Laura and I walked the very sleepy fellow to the upper barn, where Dave sewed him up and wrapped his wound.

After that excitement, I needed a cup of Red Rose tea to settle me down. Mister Albino made lunch, and then we took Winnie on a walk past the corn fields, up to the Point Drive-In, where all three of us enjoyed softie cones. By the time we got back, Blake, in the stall next to Winnie's, looked much better. Winnie gave him a nose kiss and told him to get well soon!

Poor Blake! Hope your injury, Winnie, is nothing to talk about. Keeping our fingers crossed for your vet exam tomorrow! Asali says, "Hay!"
