Don’t forget that they can die of a tummy ache!
They have VERY precarious digestion and digestive anatomy. They can very easily colic (colic is a very generalized term here btw) and die. Almost saw a horse die this past spring because it had an empty stomach for just a little too long.
Colic is my biggest fear as a horse owner. My childhood horse died from it. We don’t know what exactly happened with her. We found her exhibiting all the symptoms and we did what we could but by the time the vet got there, she’d been deteriorating for almost 10 hours. She couldn’t stay standing at that point and had nearly crushed me and two other people trying to keep her on her feet. She was put down and the whole thing fucked me up real bad for a long time.
She put up one hell of a fight for being as old as she was. She was 33 and didn’t act it at all.
My dogs seem to know what days of the week are, because if I wake up early (before 10 am) on a weekend, they are both so offended that I woke them. But if I don’t wake up on time (7:15) on a week day, they harass the fuck outta me until I get out of bed.
I grew up in a farmhouse that had contaminated well water. We got all of our drinking and cooking water from jugs. It fucking sucked because it was inconvenient as hell

75·7 days agoOh man I love that guy. His vids are great. I esp love his rural medicine bits because I grew up in the boonies and it reminds me of home lmao.
Winter makes my lupus act up terribly and I can hardly function. Summer heat nowakes my heart condition act up and I can hardly function. There’s a period of like 2 weeks in the spring and fall that are perfect
I legit cannot understand how someone can hate like that. Like it just does not make sense to me. Hate and anger is so exhausting. There aren’t many folks I truly hate, but those I do hate are individuals who have wronged me in profound ways and/or have made certain parts of my life Hell.
I can’t imagine how tiring hating entire demographics is.
Why though? Like what is the problem?
Hellll yeah. I’ll be going out to do some training with Sandy later this week. I’ll make sure to get pics and vids of her and I’ll try to get pics of Broccoli Cheddar if he’s around when I’m there. He goes off on lil adventures and I miss him some days
I don’t do memes, but I provide lots of animal pics. Mostly Sandy the Federiverse Horse and more recently, Broccoli Cheddar the Barn Cat

10·12 days agoHe’s def domesticated lol. He just lives outside but would do fine indoors. I was interacting with him from the time he was a few days old, at the request of the farm owners, to make sure he didn’t go feral.












Idk how people can do this. Like, I was invited to a 4th of July party and I wasn’t going to go if I couldn’t find someone to sit with my dogs. I ended up paying my mom to watch them for me. My beagle is terrified of fireworks and he has reactions to emergency anxiety meds, so just sitting with him and keeping him company and hugging him is very important. Apparently he had a great time lol. My doodle doesn’t give a shit about fireworks. She’s just down to do whatever the beagle is doing lol.
