Day 6: Avery

We got a cat! Yesterday we got a cat from a shelter in Boulder to be a mouser for us. He is black and white and pretty friendly. Not sure if he mouses yet but time will tell! He has been living in the tack room of the barn so he can get used to living here and not run away. He has feline herepes, it looks like, because he has an eye infection and that is usually caused by feline herpes. We got him some treats that have medicine in them so we'll see if that helps.

He is a fun distraction during the slow times which we've had many of since it's been pretty cloudy and rainy the past couple of days. I hope he gets better and I hope he can earn his keep by catching those mice!

This afternoon we're going to get a shipment of 30 horses in so that should be exciting. They will come in a semi and be unloaded into our pens. Only 10 of the 30 will stay here--10 will go to our Allenspark location and 10 will go to our Moraine Park location. Should be exciting!
