They may look like nice, calm, sweet creatures here eating their hay but they almost killed our neighbors' dog. His German Shorthair dog got out and came into our pasture. The horses worked as a team, cornered the dog and then tried to stomp it to death. Luckily we were home and were able to rescue her. I thought sure she was a goner but she walked away with nothing more than a bloody head and mouth and seems fine. They know our dogs and don't try to hurt them but this dog probably looked like a coyote to them. |

Remember Bailey, my friends' horse who was attacked (according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Biologist) by a pack of dogs? Well, a 400# lion was killed last weekend not 10 miles from where Bailey was attacked. We're told that the lions have a range of 100 miles and where there's one, there are more. I guess that answers the question - giant cat prints have been found in the area and now the dead cat suggests that it wasn't dogs afterall.
For pictures of his injuries click here (they will break your heart). Bailey didn't survive, not because of his injuries, but because he foundered from all the antibiotics he was given to ward off infection. |

Our blog (a web log or sort of online diary) is maintained by chief stall mucker, poop picker-upper and all around slave to the animals,
Norma Epstein.
I write it all myself (no Pulitzer or accolades necessary) and I take all the pictures with a Minolta digital camera.
I take pictures and post to the blog whenever I find something interesting or have something interesting to say (and even sometimes when I don't).
