i was sick for about a week there. was feeling better going back to work but it proved to be too much for me and i was feeling pretty crummy after working five days in a row including one double shift. but now i have three days off in a row. this is my second one of those. all i have now is the cough but that finally seems to be going away. i went out to the rehab barn for the horse rescue this past weekend too and took some pics of a volunteer for the a

arp.

i think they're going to use the first pic for publication. i'm going back out tonight to help clean horses and stalls. i'm glad this actually happened. looking back i seem to get a lot of ideas of things to do but don't always go through with them. so i'm happy this did. gareth and i tracked down the soundtrack to where the wild things are and i've been listening to it non-stop as i do with the few cds i listen to. it helps put me in my own imaginary world. my rat pete has been getting old lately. i've thought he was going to die soon for the past few weeks. his bumblefoot came back and he wasn't eating or drinking for a little while there. i was too sick and busy myself to give him the kind of care he needed but now i'm fully attending his needs and he seems to be doing better. he's still two years old though so i know he won't be around a whole lot longer. as long as i can make him comfortable until then i'll be doing my part. budd still hasn't laid the last three eggs. i don't know what to do about that. pets are so investing. of time and worry and money and attention. it's a good thing i love them. it's hard to imagine the horses that are rescued from people who failed to do all of those things. i'm glad i can help.

I hope your rat gets better! My last rat, Templeton, lived for 5 and a half years... but he was sad at the end there. I miss him. I totally agree about the investment you have to put into pets though. It never ceases...
I'm glad you got to do the horses. When we were at our business meeting in Atlantis our CEO told a story of a commencement speaker at his son's graduation. The speaker said forget about plans. They change. Follow your passions and you will be successful. Yours is animals. Keep following that.
