Neuroses and Nosebleeds

You never really know what you might wake up to when you have animals. Today we woke up to this! See?! See?!! This is why I get all freaked out about leaving home!


Here is a nice bloody spot where he stood in the pen... looks like there was a drive-by shooting.He still went to his feed tub and snorffled around in there to make sure it was licked clean. And his front legs where he itched and rubbed his bloody nose. Nice.
Turns out it was just a nosebleed... he is enough of a goof that he was probably teasing the old gelding - playing and hit his face on something. No wonder his previous owner called him Goober. Not a big deal. Sure LOOKS ugly tho huh? I called the vet this morning to make sure... she says to let her know if it happens again.
Unconcerned - happily eating his breakfast. All is well. Doesn't help my little "going away from home" neuroses tho....

No kidding! You could bubble wrap them and they'd still find a way to get hurt...
