2026 has been an awful year already, but on we go, into March, after two days of bidding farewell to Don Walsh last week, to cap off February. On Friday, a visitation, and on a beautiful Saturday, a funeral. Many tears were shed. Don (Dr. Walsh) had a profound impact on countless people, and improved the lives of animals, particularly laminitic horses, all over the world. We were lucky to have known him, and will miss him.
Harry has made remarkable progress, and is no longer using a walker, or an oxygen concentrator. We are grateful for excellent medical care on many fronts, giving us more good days than we expected, when Harry hit the floor on January 3. Onward to Spring, arriving this month.
Devan (PT) and Patrick (OT), from BJC Healthcare, have been coming to the house since January, and we will miss them, as their mission here is nearly finished.
Meanwhile, I am relieving Jane of horsecare duty as much as possible. There will still be plenty of need to impose on her, but I am enjoying being outdoors every day, as Harry becomes independent again.
The birds are a constant joy around here.
The cats are happy that Spring is on the way.
Every Tuesday, Harlan empties the dumpster and brings tales from the outside world.
The dogs are a big part of Harry’s recovery team…
Eddy brings joy wherever he goes, but his favorite person is Jane! The feeling is mutual…
We have had some lovely evening skies. Now comes rain, as Spring gets closer and days get longer, and the larger world begins to unravel. We are counting our blessings and hoping for peace…
Be safe, be well, be kind. These are frightening times, but Nature carries on. Be grateful… Slava Ukraini! Peace seems a lost cause now, but never lose hope…
Galloping Through
