T -3 Maybe?

Catcher has a cold....

Why couldn't it be me rather than him?

Catcher didn't seem very sick today and his vet wasn't overly concerned other than the fact that they won't let a horse with the sniffles over the border. This morning he was coughing badly and his nose was very runny. He is now on antibiotics and something to break up the mucous. Poor Cathy at Back of Beyond gets the worst of it having to put this and that into his food and take his temperature again in the morning. Cathy, if you're reading this, Thank You!!!

Tomorrow is supposed to be pack the truck full of hay day and I guess I'll just continue along the pathway to departure with hopes that Catcher will recover quickly. Less worrying than the border crossing would be putting a sick horse through four days on a trailer, I won't do that. Cancelling would be disappointing but if that's the way it goes c'est la vie.

I'm almost packed although I seem to have WAY too much stuff. All the overnight stops on the way down have been confirmed, I did eventually book a hotel in Ohio. Snacks and food are ready for the trip since I won't be able to stop for meals. I wonder if I could plug my cappuccino machine into the truck? : ) I now have a 2 ton hydraulic jack and a machine to blow up flat tires thanks to Deb and Dave. Now I have these things I assume the universe will be nice to me and I won't actually get any flats!?!?

Everybody cross your fingers that Catcher gets over his cold quickly!
