    Girls,
    Yesterday Josie Brissette had an accident. She'll be able to give any details, but it involved her horse being forced to defend itself, and her, from a dog. Thanks to some neighbors who saw her injured, she was rushed to the hospital. She will be fine, and they kept her overnight for observation.

    As you can guess, those hours of waiting were living hell for me. Thanks to her daughter, who passed on what information she could, I tracked Josie down to her hospital room. She should be released this morning.

    GET WELL SOON JOSIE!!!!

    Love you, babe!

    Poor Josie. I do hope she is feeling better very soon.

    And her poor horse must also be feeling a bit stressed. I used to ride myself some years ago and I remember just how easy it was for my horse to freak.

    I hope Josie will remember the old adage though, about getting back on straight away.

    Thanks for letting us know Mere.

    Hugs,

    Josie is home just fine, and is healing well. She'll give you the details on her injuries. They almost kept her a second night but she was ready to go. The doctor told her to just resume her normal activities.

    On behalf of the both of us, we really appreciate your well wishes.

    I did ask her if they could cure her blondness, but she says that is incurable.

    Thanks again!

    Mere and Josie

    Well, Josie, remember......

    You are not a horseperson till you have been thrown at least three times.

    When I last spoke to Josie she was doing just fine. I am a litte miffed that she can't share her medication with me, but, hey, it happens.

    Now I can go back to telling her blond jokes, and then having to explain them to her. The most classic time is when I told her:\
    Me: "Why did the two blonds freeze to death at the drive in? They went to see 'Closed for the Season.'"

    Josie: "I don't get it."

    I am so happy you're doing so well, babe. If only I could be there to help.

    Girls, thanks again for your concern.

    Mere
