Woohoo!

Hooray! This morning I called back to check up on a laminitis flare up. The lady loves this poor gelding and has literally gotten gray hairs over this 4 week lameness. Last week he was doing well on his 2g Bute, so we are steadily decreasing the dose to test his pain threshold. Today we are at 0.5g with no increased pain. The lady is so happy and I am too. I love when something actually goes to plan. Fingers crossed nothing changes over the weekend! I'm on call...

Valentine's Day. I'm going to pay for that one!

Yesterday I finished my mostly office related duties and went to ride my horse. I was on call for Valentines Day and my husband was making the one and a half hour trip back from his job in order to eat dinner. The evening had all the makings for being called.

I cautiously rode my horse, answered a few phone client calls, and headed to the grocery. I checked my phone every 5 minutes with no calls. I get home, clean up some animal puke from the ground, help cook dinner, still fervently checking my phone. I sit down to eat with my husband, eat, and even clean up. Still no calls. Was my phone broken? This is just unheard of! Am I really attending a planned event that is not ruined by an emergency call at the most inopportune moment? SUCCESS!

I got through the entire evening without a call. Take that universe! Ok maybe I shouldn't taunt it too much. It will pay me back, I'm sure.
