Pete And His Two Bobs
Last evening, we visited Becky's barn so that Hubbs could take sutures out of
Sid's back.
Sid is Becky's eventing horse... a thoroughbred racetrack rescue.
About a week ago Becky removed a few small growths from Sid's back
and was not home to remove his sutures, so Hubbs volunteered.
A light oral sedative made the procedure easy...
and Sid tolerated it just fine.
While we were there, it gave us a chance to visit Pete and his two Bobs.
I have shown you recent pictures of Pete (another rescue)
(sad story...which you can read here)
but none of those pictures showed how truly robust Pete has become.
He is one super looking horse...and such a happy guy!
Thanks to Becky and Anna (below),
Pete is being ridden quite often and has turned into a lovely riding horse.
He is a kind-hearted soul with a good head on his shoulders...
truly a thankful soul who had the good fortune to be given a new life!
When he is in the barn, Pete spends his time with his two Bobs.
Bob One and Bob Two appeared at Becky's barn over the summer
and decided to stay.
They are adorable kitties who play incessantly and keep Pete on his toes.
Both Bobs will be neutered in the near future so as to avoid any Bobbettes!
