Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Thanks Ingrid. but my horses have lived the last 4 years at the trainers and it is not the same relationship as when they were home. Much better in a lot of ways as I have no ongoing responsibility for their care and I never have to take the " bucks " out of the horse. Taking care of them totally. ... would be too much for me. They are maintained to the max and can literally go to a show any day of the week that is how perfectly groomed and conditioned they are. nonnie IF THERE ARE NO DOGS OR HORSES IN HEAVEN THEN WHEN I DIE I WANT TO GO WHERE THEY WENT.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 In a lot of ways I envy you. There are and were days that I just did not want to take care of them. But had too. Now with spring like weather here I am enjoying them a lot more. Living with them on a daily basis gives me an advantage of knowing their every moods. Right now am waiting for the shoer to come to do some trims. He is never on time. Hate the waiting. But need to get them done. Not looking forward to holding them for him. But then their feet will look so nice for a while. I am really getting to the point of really enjoying them again. And of course looking out the window at them grazing. I do hope you get to feeling better. Have you gotten any ideas when they might consider starting chemo for you???

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Jolene, I read it. Thanks. Am somewhat nervous to have this substance introduced into me. But sure cannot be worse then the chemo drugs.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Sounds good to me. From what they say the radioactive material is not harmful. I wouldn't mind taking one if they offer it to me, though I already know I would have to got to army hospital in San . Save my money, outlet mall here we come. LOL..
