I came home from running errands last week to find drops of blood all over the back porch. My first thought was, "Darn it Twinkie!" (our cat...she likes to catch mice, gophers, birds...anything really) When the drops of blood led up the back steps and into the house I was a little more concerned. Marquelle (Brody's beautiful sister for those who don't know) was using the tractor and she let me know that Brody had been shoeing one of the horses and had slipped with the thing-a-ma-jigger that he uses to clean out the junk in the bottom of the horses foot and cut right through his gloves and all the way to the bone in his thumb. Yikes! I have always thought that tool looked wickedly sharp. Anyway, he ended up getting six stitches and a tetnus shot which he claims hurt worse then the stitches. ...and I thought all we had to worry about was him getting bucked off a horse and breaking his neck...go figure!!
