Wednesday. Up early to get Dusty ready to go to the hospital. He showered in his special soap and then he and Donny left. I stayed behind to take care of the animals, pick up the house and wash his linens so he would have a clean bed to come home to. I left for the hospital around 11:30. When I got to the hospital he was already in surgery. He was out of surgery and in recovery by 1pm. Mom and Dad came up to see how he was doing. He was groggy but not really in pain and he was able to come home around 3pm. Donny had left earlier to pick up prescriptions, horse feed and silage.



After getting him in the house and settled, Donny and I fed. Gillee, our old angora cross that was sick had died so she had to be buried. We got everything fed and the horses turned out. We turned Cobio, Patrick (miniature donkey) and Calamity out together to see how they would do. They did fine together and Cobio who is 35+years old will be able to go back into the barn to get out of the heat.



Dusty felt well enough to take a walk to the barn and to the neighbors. He came in later and finally got to eat a hamburger, something he had wanted. Everyone got in bed early.
