Stalled for 30 Days


Stalled for 30 days
By Kimberly Rivers




Ozzie, Fri, April 25 - "That was a short walk."
In the stall for 30 days
By order of the vet
Ozzie’s leg today was sore
He’s more upset than me, I bet.

On Wednesday he walked out fine,
Stretching legs, and settling in
But now he’ll be stuck in 12 x 24
And I’ve told him rolling is a sin.

We’re contemplating tranquilizing
Figuring out what’s best.
To keep him quiet, calm and still
That will be the test.

The leg must heal all the way
It must, It must, It must.
I’ve shed some tears from worry
And he’s learning he’s got to trust.

The injury will heal
It will, It will, It will
The bone become whole again
And the team will hit the trail. 

This video was part of our walk on Wednesday, April 23. He walked out great as you can see. But today, Friday, April 25 he was quite sore. A call to the vet with the update resulted in Ozzie being "stalled" for the first 30 days of his 90 days off.

  1. Love the poem, especially ... " and the team will hit the trail"! Sending healing thoughts! I envision massage and discovering acupressure points - just a positive way to interact that we usually don't have time for! Good luck!
