What a marvelous Memorial Day weekend we had, all summery sunshine and perfect for playing outdoors, except for the mosquitoes. Hard to believe. It was winter such a short time ago, and now it’s June.

In order to prevent a default on our already accrued debt, the Republicans in Congress have proposed a 22% cut to Veteran’s healthcare.  The party that worships veterans is proposing taking nearly a quarter of our benefits away.  This will increase wait times at the VA, it harder for those of us who served our country, protected our country, and sacrificed our long term physical and mental health for OUR country to get the healthcare we were promised.

It’s Not an Either/Or Choice - From My Window

I subscribe to a magazine called “The Chronicle of the Horse,” and the last issue I got had an article about equine vets that piqued my interest and has me educating myself. It was reinforced by another horse magazine, picked up in British Columbia by my delightful son-in-law, which also had a story about equine vets.  The reason equine vets are a topic of current interest is because there is a severe shortage of them.
