I'm glad you have both under control with the vet, and can accommodate him in various pastures. But I would have been terrified seeing him fall after a buck also! How scary. I'm glad he got up and was okay. And Dusty sure has personality, doesn't she? Your patience with her is admirable, and your writing about her is so funny. Love to read your posts!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141033474195269489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367127003525577065.post-12788372270798528672012-10-29T13:17:36.140-04:002012-10-29T13:17:36.140-04:00Thanks for stopping by Joy.

He doesn't look a day over 10. I bet is was truly scary to see him fall after his little romp, my heart skipped a beat on that one. I know he is getting the very best care and hopefully this will be just a bad memory. And Dusty?? The little stinker, seems she has "selective memory loss syndrome" when it comes to the mounting block. I imagine she's a bit perturbed with her current pasture partner, but still...silly girl.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068684611506771719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367127003525577065.post-34234611309159802782012-10-19T15:38:51.059-04:002012-10-19T15:38:51.059-04:00Thanks Jan.
