Party for a Horse

Throwing a party for a horse

What’s better than watermelon on a hot summer day? I’ll tell you what….

…a party for a horse! Not just any horse, but my pal Willis! See way back last year he got a pretty bad leg injury in the pasture (here we are watching a time-lapse video of his serious wound, and don’t worry, I spared you the close-up details). Since he’s about to turn 30 years old this year….and finally over his injury, we decided to throw a party to celebrate!

Everyone on the farm pitched in to help Willis heal, myself included. I was entertainment for him when he was stuck inside for months, and I helped keep him company on his daily walks.

After some food and reminiscing about how far Willis has come, we all headed out to the barn to see the big guy himself.

Willis’ owner, and even the vet who helped save him along with everyone else at the farm came out to celebrate.

Willis got a big “carrot cake” and lots of love since we’re all so happy to see him recovered.

Even Minnow was excited for the party, although he may have been a bit jealous he didn’t get a carrot cake too.

Finally time to relax, since Mr. Willis is going to be just fine now. You hear that Willis? No more injuries, because this dog can’t take another one!

I’m going to be spending a lot of time on the couch for the next couple of weeks, because I have a very important job to do.

I’ve got my very best nurse hat on because mom had knee surgery earlier this week and is going to have to be on crutches for the next 6 weeks.

I’m very sad to have to miss agility class and going to the farm, but I know if I take extra good care of mom we’ll be back to normal in no time.

So my blog posts might be a bit varied for the next few weeks, and I may need to get a bit creative since my official photographer is a little under the weather. Well, at least until I learn how to work the camera with these clumsy paws. But have no fear, I’m not going anywhere! xoxo, Ammo the Dachshund

 

A Trip to the Vet

After my little oopsie on Sunday mom decided to take me to the vet on monday morning just to make sure my boo boo was taken care of properly.

Going to the vet’s office is one of my least favorite things to do. Everyone there is very nice, however I can’t help but relive the day I was neutered everytime I enter those double doors, do you blame me?

Sitting and waiting to see the vet is one of the worst parts, because I’m never sure what horrible thing will happen to me while I’m there. Will I get my nails trimmed, are they going to shove a thermometer up my butt, or am I going to be poked with needles?

These questions plagued my mind as I awaited uncertain doom.

This time though, I got off with only a little bit of doom…..in the form of a buzz cut!

The vet said she could have stapled my cut shut to prevent any scarring, but mom (thank goodness) opted to let me go the most comfortable route and have it heal naturally. Plus scars are kinda cool…..even if I didn’t earn it doing anything that exciting.

I do however have to take antibiotics – which aren’t that bad considering I get a big spoonful of cream cheese with it – and mom has to clean and dress my cut a couple times a day. It was totally worth it though, especially since it meant I didn’t have to miss monday afternoon agility class!

My classmates think I’m super tough now too, especially after I told them I got this scar during a crazy fight with a ground hog. Shhhh! It’s our little secret. Ammo the Dachshund
