Well, the Queen has her good days and bad days ~ but more good days now.
I do think the new meds are helping her, but I think the dosages made her a big whoosy.
So, we are fixing that.
Trial and Error. I walk a fine line, daily. ;
THE GOOD NEWS!
Yesterday, she took a stroll in her gardens!
MT was feeling good and the weather was beautiful. I knew she wanted O-U-T!
So, we took a walk on the grass.
Silly me forgot to bring the camera, so I left her there while I ran inside the house.
I knew she wouldn’t go far with all that (very dangerous) grass…
Part of me wanted to tie her so that she couldn’t eat anything while I went to get the camera – but another part of me thought it would be good for her to put her nose in the dirt, to smell the grass and worms, and to be a free horse on the grass, for just a few minutes.
So, that’s what I did.
And she absolutely loved it!
I could feel her spirit rise. It was like she needed to remember her roots and how the world smelled when rain was coming…
MT was really happy.
I stood on my porch and took this photo. I nearly cried – just to see her out there again… Such a beautiful sight.
We had walked outside… but I forgot my camera. So, I ran inside to get it and left her there. She took advantage and nibbled some very dangerous grass. But, a little, tiny bit of grass and dirt is good for the horsey soul.
When I arrived with my camera and told her that she couldn’t have any more grass, she was a bit upset… but still loved being outside.
AFTER OUR WALK…
After our walk, I asked her to get onto her Theraplate.
As usual, she loves the Theraplate and was happy to comply.
After our walk, she was happy. I think it revitalized her to see the outside and smell the rain coming.
LATER THAT NIGHT…
I ventured to the barn just before my bedtime to take off her boots.
Tess was laying down with Sally the kitty.
MT seemed at peace. I think it was tiring on her muscles to walk that far and get that excited. But she was a happy tired.
It was a very good day!
Sally, the kitty, was sitting with MT in her stall. They were happily sleeping.
I woke Tess up to take off her boots. She seemed happy to be resting and very contented. Here you can see that she has the “What?! I was sleeping here!” face… I took off her boots and let her go back to her happy and peaceful slumber.
