You guys are awesome…thank you for all of your support.
The latest news - we never made it to court because STBEH doesn’t want to go since it’s not in his best interest to be in front of a judge, so he has agreed to the requests I’ve had thus far. He will do all he can to avoid making his interests a matter of public record. Small town working in my favor ;).
The pony…dear god what a nightmare that situation was. I had the back-ho in the driveway, fed the little guy a mountain of treats, and I got a call from the vet that he was sick. My luck - it sucks. I went straight for the tube of banamine - I thought to myself, “dear God, I’m going to have a foundered pony now!”…thankfully, the pony’s luck, is much better than mine :). Remmy is round, bright-eyed and as pony-like as usual, and suffered no side affects from the cream pies and fruit loops I fed him…and it turned out the vet had a heart attack so we couldn’t reschedule right away. But at this point some other VERY serious/traumatic issues came up and I decided to hold off on euthing the pony until we are settled in our new place because of the impact it all seemed to be having on my daughter. I discussed it with some of my equine friends, and they helped me come to the conclusion that since he’s a smaller mouth to feed and the vet agreed he is otherwise healthy (but he does have cancer), euthanizing another horse that really is in pain at the moment (the Appendix) was more logical, given the situation. He has time, we’re going to give it to him. Having said that Spacytracy, I DID hack off the poor pony’s tail while waiting for the vet! Your offer to make us jewelry made me tear up…I love your work so much!
I know we’ll come out on the other end of this better off. So many of you have shared your personal experiences with me, and each and every one of your stories gives me the strength to take the next step forward no matter how badly it hurts. I really wish I could share some of the encouraging things that are happening, but I don’t think it’s safe…but I am hopeful, and I feel the jingles :).[/QUOTE]
poor guy is deluding himself if he thinks all his business is not being whispered/talked about anyway, but whatever, let him be delusional!!
you’re doing a GREAT job @ holding yourself and things together for your daughter. you WILL look back someday and be able to pat yourself on the back, so keep on keeping on.
(HUGS) to you and your daughter!
