Update

Scruff is past the worst of his treatment. He got his last Immiticide injection this morning. By 4 pm he was able to rest with no panting or intense back pain. He's up and about and eating but understandably, still weak. I'm glad the distress is gone.

Prissy's swelling is much reduced and the heat is gone. Thank goodness.

I took Diesel for a walk this afternoon. He behaved but was a bit nervous. We need to practice this more often. I then put him in the round pen. He was fired up. He immediately picked up a canter and flew and bucked. I let him work it out and then pushed him until he relaxed. He was 100% sound and stunning. He used his hind end beautifully. It didn't take long for him to figure out he had to listen to me if he wanted to slow down. Then we had a good 20 minute cool down. He enjoyed a nice bath afterwards and made no attempts to join his herd when released. He loves the attention. He will be almost as special as Prissy 15 years down the road. Knucklehead. I am reminded of the early days with my girl. She was a hot headed wench. Love her.

As for my teaching assignment woes...I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that I will be studying all things French very soon. Gah. What did I do to deserve this? I hate history, music, math, and chem. Hate it. And I will be living it.
