horses, cats, death
+ Yesterday was the road trip to freakin' Vermont, to see an adorable Icey mare. Text and pictures on that later (plus food p0rn).
++ Today was the barn visit by the MSPCA. They want to see what sort of a home I'm going to be providing for their horse. 24x7 turnout with run-in sheds, free choice hay, well-maintained, well-organized barn, active boarder community, private access to the state forest, Mass. Horse Farm of Distinction for 10 years, etc. Yeah, I think we're worthy. I wasn't worried about being turned down, even with the current conditions (mixed ice and frozen shit), but I was happy to show the place off.
++ So yeah, it's Gemini for me, and it's just a matter of logistics. For one reason and another, it's likely to be around the 12th of March before she actually moves in. But I'm happy. :)
--- On the way out, I found the barn cat, who had been hit by a car. Cara Mia was the mother of our two kittens, plus dreams_of_wings and aatish2's kitten. And I'm not happy. :(
This is a terrible street for cats, and after losing two cats to it, we no longer let our cats out. Keeping a barn cat inside isn't an option, but I had never seen her anywhere near the road before. She was just about two years old, and absolutely sweet. :(
