Critters

Remy is still not doing well - bony growths on his spine are pinching nerves and his spinal cord.  His sessions with the chiropractor and acupuncturist are not producing any relief.  He really wants to go out on a walk, but I'm making sure he doesn't stay out any longer than 20 minutes with me.  Watching him walk is painful, and I can only imagine what it costs him.  But he's a sweet boy, and doesn't want to be left behind, either.  Poor guy.  Nedi just came in, covered with snow melt, and showered the keyboard, monitor and me with teensy mud splatters.  There are muddy prints on the desk top from both him and Lovey...  I guess I'll mop up once I finish blogging.
 There was a terrible fire in a thoroughbred barn in southern Michigan Tuesday.  Twenty-seven horses were lost in the blaze, and one groom received burns.  The horses lost include three stallions currently standing at stud, as well as a mix of yearlings and 2-year-olds that were headed for the sales ring.  ...  This Sunday at Gulfstream Park, the Fountain of Youth Stakes will be run, and three of the top colts will appear - Union Rags, Algorithms, and Discreet Dancer.  Also on Sunday, 10-year-old Musketier will make his 2012 debut in the Mac Diarmida Stakes, covering 1 and 3/8 miles on the Turf.
  It's 28 degrees outside and there's still quite a breeze blowing...  Have a super weekend!
