Have a couple of additions to the household... We've been looking around for a pasture buddy for Sis' horse, Ethan. He's been an only horse since we lost Sparky last fall and we've been having 'play dates' in pasture with a neighbor's old mare, so he has someone to hang out with during the day. Ethan doesn't do well alone and it's a problem when the weather is bad, plus the mare is already 30 yrs. old, so we've been looking for a retiree closer to Ethan's age (20).
Talked to a gal who runs a rescue and she knew a woman who was looking to rehome a couple of her older horses (going through a divorce), so we met and agreed to take her QH, Buddy. He's about 24, pretty laid back and I think his 'true' name is AreYouGonnaEatThat? We thought Ethan was a vacuum when it came to feed, but Buddy has him beat, hooves down. Lol!

Next addition is a cat - neighbor bowls with a woman, who lost her husband, then her house and had to move in with her daughter and son-in-law. Her cat was not making the transition well, daughter has 3 kids and 3 cats, all of whom were tormenting the new cat, Molly. Son-in-law was also inclined to let Molly outside - bad idea since Molly is declawed. So, we said yes, we'd take her. Poor kitty is pretty traumatized by all the moves - finally starting to eat but mostly she hides in Sis' bathroom. We've been keeping the rest of the cats away from her until she settles in.
