[Today’s run: still no running]<\/p>\n
My head cold is getting a bit better.\u00a0 I am transitioning from the eye-weeping phase to the coughing-up-gobs phase.\u00a0 I think I should be in great shape in a couple more days.<\/p>\n
The old horse was eating grass in our back yard this morning.\u00a0 Yep, this is the one that I walked around to the gate yesterday.\u00a0 He looks boney and kind of worn.<\/p>\n
I went out and brushed him, put out some water.\u00a0 Then I called the neighbor and he was going to call the horse owner to come and see.\u00a0 According to the neighbor this horse is 34 years old.\u00a0 That is an _old_ horse!\u00a0 He moves around pretty good, considering.<\/p>\n
I did walk over to the field and poked around a little bit to try to find where he is getting out.\u00a0 No clue.\u00a0 I doubt very much he can jump the fence where it\u00a0 is a bit low, it is still at least two feet high and I don’t think his feet get higher than six inches unless he were to step near a snake or something.\u00a0 I did not find any clear openings at all.<\/p>\n
I have not looked outside in an hour or so, I suspect he is still out there.\u00a0 He was really chowing down on the grass near the dog-run where it grows high.<\/p>\n
Update:\u00a0 Still out there, he wandered to the west of us, to a grassy area on the other side of our west neighbor, even farther from his home field.\u00a0 No sign of the horse owner yet.<\/p>\n
Update#2:\u00a0 The horse owner has come, fixed the fence, and gone off leading the horse from the cab of his pickup truck.\u00a0 And now I have his phone number.<\/p>\n
