Brief Vienna update

I was at a memorial service this evening, so will save the weekly update for later. But I know people are wondering about the pony. 

I think she is slowly improving. That would be an emphasis on slowly. She is up on her feet more, they seem to be a little less sore, and she's eating more. That's all good news. But, she still has enough times when I look at her and wonder if she is actually getting better. I wouldn't call her out of the woods yet. She has been showing a little more interest in life, though, and will nicker at us when we come to pass out more hay. 

I wish I had a functioning crystal ball, because if I knew she would get better, I'd give her as much recovery time as she needs. But if she can't beat this, then it doesn't seem fair to ask her to keep going. The short answer continues to be that I just don't really know how she's doing. 

Here she is from a couple of days ago trying her darndest to get Java's unsoaked hay from under the stall door. It was one of her better days.
