Zippy the Zebra entered a veterinary clinic where a friend of mine works. This clinic is in Texas, and Zippy was one sick little girl when she arrived. She'd been bitten all over by fire ants, she was malnourished, dehydrated, and had various other problems. Her beautiful eyes were so swollen from the ants, she couldn't open them.
In time, she became well! When I knew she was going to be ok, I asked my friend if she could get me some photos of Zippy before she went home. So I'm working from those photos to make some paintings of Zippy.
In the meantime, we ran out of water today. Had to pull the pump. Luckily, it can be pulled by hand and our neighbor came over and helped us. While he was here, he trimmed the donkeys feet as I've been calling our farrier for a month and can't get him to answer his phone. He's getting married this month, so maybe he has other things on his mind than Pedro and Daisy!
Nice to be young!
We had to go to town to get parts for the well, so we also picked up an old industrial sewing machine. Now we can patch our jeans, sew our tents, upholster our old cars and power wagon, and maybe sew some quilts.
What with the well going out, solving that problem, catching Pedro so he could get his feet trimmed, and the normal things of a day, I'm about ready to quit! Would be nice to take a shower tonight, but we don't have any water....:)
