I didn't know if we would have this handsome mug here with us ever again.But he is.
And he WILL be.
Sonny is doing better than I could have dreamed. Tonight in fact, he TROTTED two whole strides to come to me, to get me to swat a big horsefly on his butt.
HE.
T-R-O-T-T-E-D.
And it was all I could do NOT to bawl-this time with joy. (Yep Jackie, I was eyeballing that red mane, looking for the perfect place to bury my face in.)
Dear Husband was looking out the window at the time, and saw the trot, too. Even he looked all teary eyed!
Treatment for Sonny is still hand walking and grazing, but he is now allowed "outside" time during the daylight hours. (I am still too paranoid to let him stay out all night long.)
His hind legs continue to strengthen, and the persistent swelling in both hocks is slowly slowly going away. He stays wrapped over night, with cold hosing and rub downs every day.
All in all, it has been a bear of a week.
It IS getting better though.
The Bunz is better.
Everything else is secondary
and we can cope with it.

So glad he is better! That is really very good improvement in just a week - I expect he'll continue to get better.

So glad that everything is going well with you and the horsey! I love reading about his progress. :)
YaHooo! Oh I am so happy for you and Bunz! That is the best news I have heard! I know you are going to be paronoid for a long time and don't worry about being! It is obvious there is some reason to be, but once victimized like that it stays with you. I want to see you ALL safe, happy, and healthy! He is your big baby and I continue to keep you All in my thoughts and prayers.
Yeah! Great news.
That horse is a trooper! Glad to hear you are making progress with his recovery! Here's hoping each day gets a bit better!
I'm so glad he's better!!
Awww he does have a rather cute mug doesn't he? Any leads on the person who cut your fence?
Woo Hoo! Of course with such great medical care even Mickey would be feeling better. (LOL)
