The lady with the chihuahuas (sp?) came into my barn as I was feeding telling me her gelding had a huge oozing sore across his middle (girth) and pulls out all these porcelain dolls for my daughter and wants to know if she can borrow $45 bucks for the vet and she'll pay me tomorrow......so I freak out and run to the bank as my DH rolls his eyes at me....
On my way to the bank my DH radios me (Nextel) and says that woman is a drug addict he can tell by the way she's acting...etc etc. So I'm at the teller w/d the now $50 she needs she said $45 but I can only get out $10 increments....so I say as I'm handing her the $ that "so you have hay?" because she tells me the guy dropping off her hay is the one that notices the oozing mess under the gelding. She says "yes, but no feed until my husband gets his check tomorrow".....so
I leave the bank and rush home because DH has called to say JOre has a gash on HIS leg. I get home doctor the scratch, grab the Chi-lady's daughter out of our house practically kicking and screaming to stay and run over there to ........she's not home yet! Haysooz.
So me and the daughter feed the mare with at least one inch of backbone sticking out the feed I've brought over and the gelding too. Well....me thinks he has an infected girth sore. Now, daughter has been telling me her mom has been "too lazy" to pay the phone bill so their phone's off. Daughter is saying "well I guess you'll have to take me back home with you" as mom pulls in. I figure, OK, phone's off so mom must've had to stop to call said vet....aghnt! As we're standng there she says, "well, let me go see if I can still get the vet out" ........Am I a sucker or what?
