Waiting out the thunderstorm, I stayed in the stable. I
finished brushing Lou and unclipped him, and while turning him into his stall,
he stepped on my foot and pivoted all of his 1100 (plus or minus a few) pounds on
me…it definitely wasn’t the first time this has ever happened, and it was definitely
a lot less painful than the 10 stitches to my face or the broken ribs of the
past, but still, the toes on my right foot will still be throbbing for days… I
can never get mad at the big galoot though, never can. He stepped off my foot
and bent his head back to look at me with his brown, wet eye as if to say he
was sorry, gave me a nuzzle and lumbered off to his hay…I just gave him a hug
and limped back to the house in the rain. Maybe not everyone understands, but I
think most of you who love and live their days with animals get it. Love and
forgiveness over come any pain, physical or emotional. Its another life lesson
that Lou has given back to me.Sunday, May 25, 2014
