I Am SO Ready for it to be Tomorrow Already!

OK, so in all honesty I was never really addicted to MySpace...in fact I hardly ever logged on. But right now it's kind of late and I could either be watching The Wire with Charles (I hate that show) or playing on the internet, and aside from a couple of horsey forums I have nowhere to go anymore! Then I remember this, so here I am...

Today was kind of crappy. Our rescue dog, Ziggy, learned he could jump out of his run and went after my cat. At least she gave him a very bloody whooping across his nose before he chased her into the tree...

Then we put up some lovely white trash fencing to keep him in and so he tried to jump out of the other side, and managed to hang himself by his collar from a T-post. I started to panic but luckily he slipped out of his collar. But THEN we had to make the fencing even MORE white trash by stacking an old trash can over that end of it so he can't jump out...nice.

The whole reason I was outside in the first place in a place where Ziggy could see us and the cat (which gave him the idea to jump!) is because we were looking for a rabbit's nest. Janga found a baby rabbit that one of the cats had brought into the front yard. It was so tiny that it's eyes were still closed. It was covered in slobber and had a teeny bit of blood on one leg, but otherwise looked so perfect and precious! Well...we called the rabbit rescue place that is like 2 hours from here and they told us that it had a 1% chance of surviving at that age. 1%!! Apparently cat slobber can kill a baby rabbit from all of the bacteria it has in it, AND rabbits that age require a very specialized diet. We tried to find the nest but had no luck (I have NEVER seen a rabbit nest, I thought it highly unlikely that we were going to find one tonight and that turned out to be the case). So we tried to do our best by it and ended his life quickly and mercifully (well, Charles did...thank goodness for him).

Well, tomorrow's a new day!
Oh, and the picture is me and Coach, the horse I rode in Oregon. I thought a picture of me riding a horse would cheer me up and it did!

Aww...I'm sorry you had an awful day. I'm glad Ziggy didn't get the cats! He needs a new home...and soon!

p.s. Horses never fail to cheer us up, do they? :)
