<DIV>sorry i missed populace- so much has been going on that i forgot. i'm not going to be able to make it this weekend either. we don't know yet just how much the vet bill is going to be, but hope that it is under $1000. this past sat. night, our three horses joined forces and broke into the barn nearest them and proceeded to ingest about 200 lbs of feed(about half of that was chicken scratch). my wifes horse, being the oldest took it the worst...she developed colic and foundered. we did all that we could(i.v., pain meds, and anti-coagulants), but to no avail. my wife called me at work to get me to come home... cupid was blind and could barely stand- she had an extremely high fever as well. i did what had to be done. ginger had her since she was 10 years old. that made cupid between 26 and 30(a ripe old age for most horses), and ginger new that the time was soon, but we didn't think it would be like it turned out to be. the same night( a full moon as i recall) my neighbor broke his ankle on both sides(compound on his tibia i believe) and my wife has to tend to his children till he has surgery and is more capable of managing around the house(he is on social security and his wife works). sorry for rambling, but i felt the need to inform ya'll of the circumstances surrounding my abscence. </DIV>
<DIV> regards, </DIV>
