Silver Lining WAFFLES

Be kind, Thursday. Early morning emergencies after a late night of emergencies. Bright side: a little time for Waffle House before appointments.

You Stank

Normal married folk greet each other with, “Hey honey how was your day?”. In our house, Meg’s first words tonight were, “Sheew, I smell buck. What did you do to a buck today?”. She’s good.

Just Limping

Me: “So she’s lame in a front foot?” Client: “SHE’S NOT LAME! She’s just a limpin’”….. Me: “Oh…ok” Also, Church sign of the day: “you may party in hell, but you will be the barbecue”. Everyone welcome. Right…

Lub-dub

Brace yourselves, dear coronaries. Homemade liver mush (bless you, Grandma Shirley), from-scratch pancakes with blueberry jelly, and eggs for dinner.

Nothing To See Here

Pretty hilarious moment while picking up a pizza at a drive thru window. I’m in the passenger seat splitting pills for a client’s horse we plan to meet on the way home.

Blew A Tire

I am blessed to work with wonderful people. We blew a tire this morning on the way to an emergency. Two clients stopped by to lend a hand and get me to the call. One client took my tire off and took it to the shop while I worked on the animal. The animal isContinue reading “Blew A Tire”

Tele-Med

I just spent 23 minutes on the phone with an 80-something year old client helping her deliver a miniature horse while driving to her farm. Her hearing is not what it used to be so I had to shout and repeat every sentence slowly. I wish I had the conversation recorded. So many good moments.Continue reading “Tele-Med”

Stripping For Loan Repayment

“Ain’t choo gonna take your shirt off like Dr. Pol?” No, ma’am. No, I am not. I would have to charge extra for that.  Actually…maybe I will, if the price is right 😉

Midnight Mumbling

At some point in the middle of the night, I woke up to Meg talking. Punk, our orange tabby cat was laying on her stomach and she was petting him saying, “awww, what a cute baby goat.” She was completely asleep. I just laughed, rolled over and went back to sleep.
