A morning with Wendy
Yesterday, being Saturday April 12th I was at the rescue in the morning for my usual Sat. Am Feeding of the animals. After everyone was fed, watered and placed in their proper pastures I took Wendy and Sweetie - who happen to be up next to Wendy's shelter some carrots and apple slices. They both were anxious to receive all I had in my pockets. After Sweetie realized there were no more she moved on. Wendy became alert to the fact that Roy and Scotty were in a pasture in front of hers and thought (I think) that they were in her pasture...she started loudly neighing and took off at a rather fast trot in their direction. Well, my heart skipped a few beats watching her going as if she were a sighted horse,,,, if you have ever experienced a moment of feeling your heart race you will understand that mine did while watching Wendy who is basically blind go trotting off after Roy and Scotty....What I have to learn is that although Wendy may be blind or have limited sight she knows her boundaries in her pasture. She stopped where she needed to and paced the end of her pasture neighing very loudly at those 2 in the other pasture...Now, as a human I have to wonder was she fussing at them, inviting them to come on over for some treats or angry that they were running free in a pasture with lots of green grass? I can only wonder,,,,
