Animal's are God's precious gift to us and some of us are privileged to take care of them for him. God Bless You!!!!!
Ohhhhh Pat. So sorry that Java's eye is bad. wow I can completely understand about corneal ulcers in human terms. Exactly 1 year ago, I had one also. Lost most of my vision in that eye. Drops, creams, meds every few hours and all on different time frames, some even every 30 mins. It sounds like you have the same whacky meds administering nightmares. This lasted for a few months. Eye doc every 3 days. It was a frightening time for me in figuring out if the vision would return - and it did over months. Poor Java and poor you! Sweet Java has no idea what the problem is. Good luck to you and that dear horse. prayers for you
Everything is fine today. The firefighters got it under control shortly after I took this photo, and it was out by nightfall. I don't know HOW they did it. That fire was HUGE. They had trucks from five counties working on it and I even saw some choppers from the local military base as well. The North Canadian River runs east to west across our county, and the fire was between us and the river, moving in the direction of the water. I'm sure that helped them get it contained.
hope her eye heals quickly. I've ridden a horse that was blind in one eye, and despite that fact, she was a quick and determined little horse, full of spunk and pep. She loved to run. Course, if I wasn't careful, then fences or trees happened to hit me on her blind side! LOL
When I first saw the smoke cloud, I was on my way home from work. I knew it was too close. The closer I got to my house, the closer it looked.
I started thinking out my evacuation plan - get the trailer hitched up, load the horses, turn out the chickens, get the pictures, scrapbooks, and computer, grab the dog and a change of underwear, get the important documents from the safe file...
It wasn't until I was home that I realized I had a little breathing room - literally. I got out of the truck and didn't smell smoke, which means that it's moving the other direction. As long as the wind doesn't shift, we'll be ok.
But it's still too close for comfort. DH came past the damage path on his way home from work. It started about a mile south of our house, and it's easily three miles across at this point. It's not in a heavily populated area, but there are homes there, and there will - most probably - be families without a roof tonight.
My first thought is that I'm very thankful I'm not one of them. And my second one is that I feel a little guilty about being one of the lucky ones.
