Begged the whole time i was mucking and finally got her walk, which she didn't really want, but she also didnt want to go back out after 🤷 Very mixed signals dude.

Tried some new trails today, found some very good ones!

Pony braving her fears today!

Kinda surprised she even went on the ramp at all, she does not have a very good track record with trailers.

Rest easy, my best friend.

yeaaaah, I saw that too.

it can be hard for people to understand that every species of animal has a unique set of physical and mental needs, and that (FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT) they should not be treated like human beings.

here's an example: when a horse breaks its leg, often the kindest thing you can do is euthanize it. that is because horses have lightweight bones that tend to shatter, rather than simply snap, and all those sharp pieces can sever blood vessels and nerves, which leads to tissue death. your average horse weighs 1,000 pounds. that amount of weight redistributed to 3 legs leads to pressure necrosis on the remaining hooves.

the reason the horse would require euthanasia isn't because it's life isn't the same as an able-bodied horse. it is because its leg would rot off and then its hooves would rot off and then it would die.

I currently have a broken leg, and will not be euthanized because I am a human being. if I had both legs amputated, I could still have a wonderful life, because I am a human being.

similarly, if my cat broke a leg, or had to have a limb amputation, that would be fine (well, not fine, but you get the idea) because she weighs 9lbs and could scurry about just fine as a tripod.

if you understand what an animal needs, you'll be better equipped to know when it has a fighting chance. you'll also know that sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is put it to rest.

Do we have a cue for laying down? no. But we have established the routine that it's the first thing we do when we enter the arena, may or may not bite me in the ass later 😂

The cats got an upgrade on their cat tree today. Gaia is very happy about this

Went and looked at some rocks today.

They were very cool.

The most fun part of buying a house that hasn't been renovated since the 70s is that you get to redo the whole house the way you want

spent all day recreating it in a home styler

im an interior decorator now
