Oh My Ty...

Despite falling asleep at 3am my body decided it was wide-awake at 6am this morning. Since today was supposed to reach the upper 90s (when in fact it turned out to reach into the 100s), I took myself out to the barn. When I stepped outside I was completely surrounded by fog. I never experienced anything like it. Of course I had been and driven in fog, but today's was unbelievably thick.

By the time I got to the barn the fog was still heavy. It looked like a scene out of a cheesy horse...

I'm still waiting for an appointment time for Ty's eye exam...*taps foot.* Our electricity was out due to a tornado that hit us, so we were unable to fax over the necessary paperwork that was sent to me via e-mail. I plan on having that sent off today. I really don't want to wait around on a possibly progressive eye issue

If you exclude the major medical problems, Ty is fine. I went to check on him yesterday after the storm and aside from being totally caked in mud, he looked...

When I finally arrived, my naughty pony met me with a cut half-way down his face. It wasn't pretty, but it luckily wasn't deep either (*whew!*). So I played "Doctor Ashleigh" and cleaned it up a bit. I also went out today...

Ooooooh that Ty!

I just recieved a phone call from a lady who lives on the boarding property where I keep Ty (the same lady who now owns Starbucks). She said that Ty had cut his face (she thought it was likely on a sharp tree limb) and it was oozing. She indicated that a bunch of his hair was scraped off, but felt that it wasn't deep enough to require stitches; however she suggested that I come have a look at in. She was incredibly kind and said that she would clean it...
