Ouch!

 

[Michen]

It does make me feel somewhat sick to see it in writing!!!!

Nothing wine won’t help with though. And seeing Bog home

 

[Bernster]

Yay for the update. Gulp for the bill.

I was a bit bonkers and paid for Finn‘s complicated stay at the RVC as he wasn’t insured. Wiped out my savings and his head lumps aren’t much smaller but you gotta try these things for the sake of yer pony. It may not be good common sense however!

 

[Ambers Echo]

That text made me cry too! (That bill would bring tears to my eyes too but thank GOD you don't have that bill and no horse.)

If any of us had good common sense, one might argue we wouldn't have horses in the first place

It's the "any questions" bit at the end that made me laugh. When it's that much it's just gulp and hit the bottle really

I've just cancelled the microcob's insurance because she had too many exclusions and it was pricey. But in this situation I'd have taken her up to hospital for suspected colic (her guts were insured) and then suddenly found myself with pneumonia (lungs not insured). I have absolutely no idea what I'd have done. In all honesty probably run up a huge bill!! All mine cap out in the low thousands anyway and insurance wouldn't have made much of a dent in your bill.

But he's thankfully on the mend and who needs savings anyway!

 

[HorseyTee]

Wonderful update, very happy to see he's doing better.
If I have an imminent lotto win, I'll happily pay his bill for you that number is a bit terrifying.

 

[meggymoo]

Reading this whilst on the phone to bt and squealed, the girl thought I was nuts, so happy for you

And I bet you didn’t say “yay Boggle has poo’d “ did you!

 

[Chucho]

Excellent news!

Pah, though, you need to come to Canada if you want decent vet bills to pay ;-) We spent more than that on a 4 day hospital stay for a dog (who had maxed out his insurance payouts already). But hey you do what you gotta do for love...

 

[Pinkvboots]

Jeez that bill

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Ouch at the bill but absolutely excellent that he's feeling better!

 

[Bowie]

I have 31 inner city year 4 children who have absolutely no idea about horses all vested in Boggle’s story and will need to be updated tomorrow . I think it was the idea of him ‘flying’ that got them listening. I tell non horsey children because they love it- non horsey adults tend to look at me strangely. They don’t get it. Their loss! Come on Boggle. Super boy!

 

[Tracking_up]

excellent news (on the recovery, not the bill!) Looking forward to photos when he's back at the yard.....

 

[ponynutz]

I am so happy for you Michen!
Ouch for the bill

 

[palo1]

Oh Bog you utterly brilliant little horse

Bawling again, I really really thought I was going to lose him.

That is fabulous news!! Well done Boggle - top pony.

 

[palo1]

This with bells on!!

 

[Bearsmum]

It's only money I have friends who have spent twice that on their dog, to be fair I retired Yogi @9 and paid full livery until he was 27 so I guess that's a fair amount, but please don' tell my OH

 

[nagblagger]

Brilliant update, just think it's only money, and everyone knows money doesn't buy happiness - but Boggle does !

(no money for cigarettes ! )

 

[Michen]

It’s only money and Boggles life does not have a price tag.

I reckon 25k all in including follow up stuff and hay steamer. Bloody bargain. A nice unbroken horse here is more than that

Couldn't find the right emoji for that post laugh, cry , love, hate just not sure. I am so glad he does now seem to be on the mend and will be home with you soon. Hope you find a suitable bedding I love my aubiose but I wouldn't think it would be where you are . Hopefully they have some good quality dust extracted wood flakes at a sensible price, the USA is not short of trees.

 

[Kunoichi73]

Brilliant news! I'm doing a happy dance for Boggle's fighting spirit! ,And hyperventilating at the cost!

 

[Michen]

Just catching up! I’ve been at the barn making his bed. Ahh everyone has been so kind! I feel slightly comforted that apparently if he was in Florida the bill would be twice that haha. I’ve made him a nice big bed which he will love, fresh shavings make him very happy

Omg! This is so nice!!!! How awesome Bog is famous!

 

[scats]

Fabulous news!
That bill makes my £170 for Polly’s eye seem a little pathetic

 

[Trouper]

When I worried about spending money on buying a horse in my "later" years, a friend of mine egged me on by telling me that if I saved it, "they" would only spend it on incontinence pads for me in the care home.

When your dotage comes (decades off I know!), you won't remember the colour of the dollar bills but you will remember every moment with Boggle.

So cheered to read this latest update.

Well.....I mean, at least you had a pretty accurate estimate of the cost when he went in! I seem to remember you were expecting it to top out at about $20K? It sounds utterly horrific to me but I suppose as you say, you have a well paid job so you'll get it paid off. I haven't posted much on here but I am so, so pleased he's turned the corner - I am a "religious person" and I've been praying for you both since this started! It's so clear how much you love him, and what a character he is.

 

[Widgeon]

A nice unbroken horse here is more than that

I know you're joking, but honestly, love aside, I don't think this is a bad line of reasoning. Tell yourself that when you're squirreling away money to pay off the cards - it was a decision that made good economic sense!

 

[Sandstone1]

So glad he's getting better. Have the vets any idea of what's Bern wrong with him?
That's some bill!

Oh that's such a wonderful way of putting it! Thank you! I will kiss his nose for every dollar of the bill, that will really annoy him but I feel he will just have to let me have that

He's given me so many good days and memories, I hope we have plenty more to come in whatever capacity.

Not really, maybe a virus will show up with the viral panel re run. My theory is he got wind I was heading off to spend some time with human man and he decided my life choices weren't quite right.
