This day has gone true to form for the last few weeks. I don't know if I can keep up this schedule - am very surprised that my health has held out. Maybe I am finally getting better again?
Got up 7:30am. Unhooked trailer from car. Took off chains from tires. In car by 8:30 and headed to Humane Society to drop off 2 cats for spay/neuter clinic. Came right home, getting here about noon. Hooked up trailer and put chains back on truck tires. Road is really bad today. No making down without the chains.
Went to get ponies at back of land. Got flat tire on trailer and changed it. Trying to keep Dave from helping - his foot is finally beginning to heal and if he doesn't stay off it, it will be right back to swollen and unable to walk again.
Took 2 hours to load ponies. Never want to work with unhandled horses again. Dave had to help a little. Damn.
3:30 by the time we left the ranch. (Suppose to pick up cats at 3.) Took us over an hour to get down. Even with chains, truck slid all over. Went 5 miles an hour most of the way. I drove because Dave's foot is hurting so much now.
Louie and his new friend, Brinkley followed us all the way down the road. We kept yelling at them to go home, but we had to go too slow to loose them. Finally stopped and put them both in the cab of the truck. Can't let them run around in town or on the highway. Guess we're taking them with us - the cats should love that.
Got to Humane Society just after 5pm. They had cats - now all our rescued cats are spayed and neutered. Put both cat carriers on Dave's lap. No other room because of the dogs in the back seat. We went on to drop off Ponies. Got there around 6pm. Dark already. Dropped off ponies then tried to put Louie and his friend in the trailer. They got loose and went romping all over the ranch we were at. Finally caught them and got them in the trailer. Moved the cats off Dave's lap and into the back seat.
Stopped for dinner about 8pm and got home before 11. Tomorrow is the first day in weeks I have nothing but feeding on my schedule. This entire week has been as hard as today was. I am going to sleep for the rest of my life.
