The visit was brief, but it was so nice to see her. My mom was helping me drop off the feed Sandy will be fed when she moves. I wanted to get her switched over slowly before the move so it's one less stressor for her.
Next week I'll be allowed to go back to regular activity, so I'll be able to interact with Ms Sandy Lou again. So excited that I could cry.
Thank you!
Aww, precious baby! I really miss having horses around.
Horses are great. I stopped interacting with them for about a decade and then started volunteering at a barn. I bonded with Sandy and her owner and I have a deal where I do all of the care and interaction and everything and she provides the money for it. Sandy probably only has a few years left in her, so we wanna make sure they're good ones.
I love you! In a kind internet stranger kind of way. Thanks for being there for Ms.Sandy.
Aw thank you! I intend to be there for Sandy for the rest of her life. :)
Glad to hear all went well and you’ll be back at it next week! Thanks for the updates. Is Sandy going to another farm?
Thank you! And yes, she is! She's moving to a farm with better conditions and more outside time. She'll also be 10 mins from my house instead of 40. She'll be moving at the end of the month.
Oh that’s awesome news in every way! Yay for Sandy!
Yes! I'm hoping she'll integrate well with the herd there. She'll be outside with other horses during the day. She hasn't had close up interactions with other horses in a long time. Thankfully the fields are big enough for her to stay off by herself if she wants.
I ran into another Lemmy user who stated Sandy was a Lemmy celebrity. Sandy is Lemmy famous.
Lmao. She seems to be. I honestly didn't expect her to be so popular. I started posting about her because I wanted to share her with people and everyone I know irl already get updates lmao
