Current mood: tired

full mooniness
the full moon of october was spectacular last night, as i offered milk and *truly amazing* chocolate chip cookies to the nymphoi. it was a welcome break from teh intrawebz dramatiques.
bo is not improving much. i tried unwrapping his feet for a night and by morning, even with 2 grams of bute and a well-padded stall, he was dead lame. he can't keep healthy feet if they're duct-taped 24/7, but it looks as if going barefoot or any time turned out are just not viable options yet. nik would probably just bite and chase him anyway. she's such a twat.
i'm not licked yet. i have other things to try and there's still time for him to rally. but being perpetually stall-bound, doped up and with wrapped feet and a severely restricted diet is no life. i have to face the possibility of letting him go.
the men are prepped to stand and deliver the ultra-care while i'm in utah, which is good because he's not going to be out of the woods as i'd hoped. it's a lot for them to do as they're all super-busy right now too, but they're good guys, my men. there has been zero heavy sighing or pouty lips as i outline to them the degree of oversight mr pony will require.
gorgeous day here. i should probably post something about the ugliness currently polluting the lists, but at the risk of being labelled apathetic or complicit or whatever the latest outrage is, i'm not going to think about today. scarlett and i shall just do some pony care, a little gardening, and some much-needed lesson plan work and let the nose-bashing go on without us.

Full moon was lovely here too before it rained (first rain we've had in a month). Wondering whats going on on your lists. Some of mine have some pretty heavy stuff at the moment I wonder if its something in the air.
Poor Bo I do hope you see some signs of improvement soon. And hope you manage to enjoy Utah and npt angst too much over him. As you say you have good guys looking after him and maybe Kailee will make it over once or twice.

i think there must be some sort of astrological whatever, friends who aren't on any of the pagan lists are describing similar upheavals.
i wish kailee could make it here but it doesn't look as if she will. damn these kids growing up and becoming unavailable to me!

Hon, I saw on the animal planet (animal cops Houston) where they had rescued a horse with bad feet, and the farrier was working with him, and had put this... It was like a gel cushioning stuff between his hoof and the horseshoe, to both cushion the frog and keep it clean.

Now of course I don't have horses or anything, but it might be worthwhile to look into, to make Bo more comfortable? *hugs for you and pettinses for the horses*

shoes are a last ditch resort. i keep all my horses barefoot and he's got basically good feet (other than, you know, the bits that are killing him.) the vet suggested corrective shoeing and is actually pushing hard for it, but over and above the cost (which is prohibitive), the rl folks i know who have been through this pretty much agree that it's a very short term fix that often causes more troubles in the long run.
i'm not ruling it out, but i'd rather go with easyboots (sort of temp shoes that can be put on and removed by lay folks), although like the wraps they can't stay on all the time or the feets, they rot and steeenk.

Suz, if you need a hand with cost, I don't have a lot but I have *some*. Let me know, okay?

I've been trying not to think about list drama all weekend...

Sorry to hear about your horse. Hope you can find a solution.

So you offer to the nymphs on the full moon?

part of me says i should make a definitive statement, be forthright and clear and strike my stallion stance, but a larger part keeps insisting that this is something the principals can and should deal with amongst themselves. i don't LIKE the battle lines forming, and the fer us or agin us drumbeats.
thanks for the good thoughts for meester fat boy.
yup, i'm trying to think when this gelled as right-for-me. a year ago? not as long as two, i don't think. but it is SO right for me! the nymphoi gave an almost audible 'finally!' when i started doing this as regular practice. i offer honeycakes or some sort of sweet, and raw milk. i love full moons. i know some witchy types do deep magick then, but i'm always too blissy and giggly. i usually just emanate love and adoration and joy, and save the Deep Dark stuff for moondark.

I have very passionately argued my case, and I admit I see this as a pretty stark black-and-white issue. But at the end of the day, I'm not going to demand people take my side or risk losing my friendship. That isn't what true friendship is about, and that shit is best left behind in gradeschool. Friends don't have to think exactly alike and they can disagree plenty, provided it's done in a respectful manner. I was friends with people who were friends with Tim Alexander; I'll stay friends with those who're friends with Allyson.

I offer to Aphrodite-Tykhe during this time. I tend to get...snuggly around the full moon.

As for list stuff, I feel the same what which has seemingly got me into trouble.
