Well... hello ya'll. Life is definitely looking better here on the ranch today. I know I haven't been around here on Blogster fer a long long time and I'm sorry about that. I just haven't been up to doing two blogs these days. You can always go to greasy.com and catch up on my life of pain and back surgery. Not too exciting... fact is... my life has been a bit boring. lol But today life is definitely looking better.
Fer one thing... our precious cattle dog... Buddy... is still alive today and that is great news. Yesterday... he had a big encounter with a rather mean longhorn cow with very very long horns and it didn't go so well for Buddy. She gored him in the right side of his chest and sunk about 4 to 5 inches of that twisted horn into his chest cavitiy. Lucky fer Buddy... the horn managed to miss all vital organs except for nicking a lung. The vet says he is very very lucky and she reports that he is up and around today.
It really was touch n' go yesterday as Buddy "crashed" once he arrived at the vets and he had to have CPR. He'd lost way too much blood and was in shock. They put tubes in his lungs to drain fluid and have him on anti-biotics to fight infection from that dirty horn.
Today... Buddy is on the road to recovery and that ole mean cow is on her way to the sale yard. The cow isn't our cow, but is our neighbor's and she has been causing havoc around the neighborhood. By-the-way... yes... some cows do have horns. The junior vet trainee had a difficult time grasping the fact that a cow could have horns. He needs to go back to vet school for more training. lol
Ya'll have a great day today.
Annie :o)

I've missed you Hazel. I just got through looking at your birthday party pics on Jenn's greasy site. Hey... that looked like quite a fun party. I want to send a special birthday wish for you and it is that you will have a better year of good health and much happiness. You are so very dear to many of us here on the blog. God Bless you dear friend. Annie :o)
I'm glad Buddy is going to be alright! That was a close call! I tried Greasy, started a blog there, but I'm a creature of habit, and I just didn't see much advantage in changing...except that all my old friends seem to be there.
