Is it possible to have 1.5-2 adam's apples? Why yes, yes it is.

Searcy Fall Fest

We have been enjoying Autumn time around here and just recently taken some hikes in the Hoosier National Forest. It's not like hiking in Utah or Portland, but we were able to climb this fire tower.

It was a beautiful view. We could see the rolling hills and ridges of southern Indiana, all covered in yellow, gold, red, and orange hues. Look past us in this picture...

We wish we could be hiking and climbing fire towers with each of you.

Happy Fall.

Tuffy's improvment!!

I am so excited, the vet, Bob came on Saturday to let me knwo hwo Tuffy is doing since her injury on July 29, 2008 of tearing her deep dital ligament, he said she is doing 80% better, in two months he wants to see her again, he really thinks she will heal. So now I am suppose to walk her for 5 mintues everyday- if I miss some days it is okay, the more I walk her for 5 mintures at least once a day the better she will be able to heal, so the first week is 5 min. walk (this is her physical therapy), 2/3/4 week I walk her 10 minutes once a day, then 5th week up to 15 min., 6th 20 minutes, 7th 25 min, 8th/9th week 30 minutes. Two months he will come back and let me knwo waht to do, seh didn;t need an ultra sound/x-ray since she is healing so well, but if I see any swelling increase or lots of heat I should call him. Also, he says that if she is doing well in 2 months, once I reach 30 minutes, after he sees her I can ride her, walking only, but I am sorry I will only be riding her htat way she doesn;t get hurt worse only for 30 minutes so it could be up to 2 to 4/6/8/9 more months tell I ride, I am thingk 2 to 3 months tell I ride Tuffy. she has to be stalled still, only have local hay to eat/graze herso seh can eat grass, treats-carrots adn apples and if I get it set up she can only go in a 30 by 30 area. SHE HAS to STAY in her STALL that is very improtant for her to heal correctly. Sammy is odiang well, loves to play with tennis balls. I am doing better, I miss being at home, I knwo this is good experience for me. Thanks so much for all of oyur support and help, mom and dad adn everyone else, you are all awesome, amazing, wonderful
