Aly, so sorry to hear you're down in the dumps too... come on ladies, we need to skype or something and get ourselves feeling better!
Migraine, jet lag most likely, not feeling right... outta gas, outta flour, worse yet, outta shampoo! It seems overwhelming, but just take it one thing at a time, and it won't. Except for maybe the shampoo – I hid mine last night because someone else keeps using it, and its almost gone! Pretty bad when you have to hide things, but I have a soda hidden in the fridge, and shampoo hidden in the bathroom... oh, and my stash of chocolate, which I would highly recommend if it doesn't add to the migraine.
Sorry to hear about Olivia not feeling well, is it anxiety setting her off? I can only imagine the stress of being where the ground won't stay still.
Poor old Silver... you can't look at it as the "right" to kill something, you have to assess what her quality of life is, and if she's enjoying it... you'll know when and if you need to do it, and no regrets, as you gave her a great life. Many horses (and other animals} don't get that with us humans. I wish it were legal to decide for humans, and let people decide for themselves (with obvious guidelines of course) when it's time as well. The only good thing about my roommate's cat dying yesterday was that she didn't have to make that decision, the cat made it for her.
Aly, I'm so sorry you're feeling so out of sorts! And btw, we may all be dealing with a disease in one way or another, but how did you know I was "sick"! (he he he) Seriously, your thread is a lifeline for us all, and we all live a bit vicariously through your travels... so as Marta would say POOEY to the shampoo, the lack of food, go order some takeout food for yourself, and spoil your horse with some carrots, sugar and apples.
Hope you're feeling better soon, love you lots girl!
