A Really Good Day!

I went to see Ramsey this afternoon and he is doing GREAT!  He is off IV fluids.  He is on his feet and putting weight on his injured foot.  They still have not decided whether he will need a splint or not, but the swelling in the tendon is gone and he is stretching his leg more on his own.  The vets are talking about WHEN he comes home not IF.  Everyone adores him and both vets made a point of telling me how much fun he is to have around.  Of course, I already knew that.  I am just glad that they are getting to see just why Ramsey is so special.

I spent over an hour with him, scratching all his favorite spots.  I had his lip twitching and his eyes rolling at the pleasure of it.  He loves his toys and some of the students have started playing tug-o-war with him.  There was no sneaking out while he was unconscious this time.  I finally had to corral one of the students to stay with him and distract him while I left.  He is a happy donkey and we are not worried about him giving up on life anymore.  I will have some pictures for you tomorrow.

The sun came out and it stopped spitting sleet at us for the first time in weeks.  Emma took a nap in the sun.

And a simply incredible, amazing, awe inspiring bit of news is that I gave Cornell another $1500 today and it all came from YOU!! 

I started this blog almost as a whim and I have continued with it because I enjoy doing it.  I have been surprised and gratified by how many people seem to enjoy it, but honestly folks, I just had no idea how many of you have come to care about me and my little herd.  I am honored beyond words by your generosity and caring.  Which is why I am going to just say THANK YOU again and shut up now.

Instead, how about some pretty pictures of some Fall colors that tend to get overlooked when the trees are showing off.  I took these for Sunday Stills, but I got a bit distracted last weekend....
