Re: I wish I could have seen my horse with my new eyes.

Computers can be such a pain, rockabilly. If you really want back on FB, you could probably change your name a little and open a new account.

Re: Not Neutering is Now A Thing

Having to go through three CCL surgeries, I can fully understand why someone would want to wait to spay or neuter if it would decrease the chances of a CCL issue. It was hell. And, for those requiring tplo, it is crazy expensive.
