We have no idea what happened to her. She's just gone. And one duckling is gone, too. Actually, Lucy found its little body, trampled by a horse hoof. They were on their own for a few hours after their mother disappeared and before we knew anything was wrong. The boys don't know about the trampled duckling; I'm letting them just guess until I can figure out the best way to tell them. Not, for example, while I'm trying to slog my way through a day's work.
Dante is limping painfully as the crack moves down his hoof. Cordell is coming tomorrow to trim & remove the shoe. I tried to do it last night but I don't know how to do it without hurting Dante.
Cocoa and Amigo are in Mel's Meadow today. We have to get there by going on a trail through the woods. That should be interesting come winter...
All I have time for now.
