Sadness

Poor Danimal. Sigh.... Poor me. 

I"m trusting God and His will, but darn I wish Funny hadn't kicked Dan. He's been a bit crankier lately and seems sad. Not his usual cheeky self. I did get him to smile for cookies today and he wanted butt scratches yesterday but... he seems blue. Me too, Dan, me too. 

And now I know why... I was bush hogging today and they ran for a little ways and... he's really lame. Like... really lame. :( Ughhhhh..... I really really hope and pray that this is just irritation and not an actual ligament tear. I'm not sure he and I can survive another 6 months to a year off. Even if he's allowed to be in the pasture... Not that we'll have a choice, but gah..... 

 

So... I'm praying that God heals him for me. In the next two weeks. And that he will bounce back, we can inject his arthritic stifle and he'll be ready to at least hit the trails again, but honestly... I'd really like to do more, if it's God's will. I get it... I'm being greedy.... but, I want it for Dan too. I think... I think he likes doing things... I think he gets bored just staying at home. I think he enjoys showing off. I know he likes trail riding but I think he likes the other things too. 

Anyways.. just blue today. But grateful that he's still here and Funny didn't break his leg. I'm grateful for the beautiful views on my beautiful farm. And I'm grateful that Dan is a bit like me and will keep fighting too.
