Weekend? What is the definition of a weekend?
According to google:
"Weekend as a noun - Saturday and Sunday, especially regarded as a time for leisure."
So what if we would decide not to attend to reports or complaints received? You must be out of your mind... We would much rather help an animal in need than living knowing we made ourselves unavailable. With the rain, we are doing skeleton staff but I am on 38 hours straight through, did have a shower though last night before the phone started ringing so thank you to each and every dedicated employee diligently and continuously cleaning stables and keeping all horses dry, fed and comfortable while the rain was gushing down. Cleaning kennels, cattery, farmyard and the list goes on, wanna take a walk in rescue shoes, get enough sleep before you tackle that one โจโจโจ and then he have to deal with idiot animal owners too - rescue, breathe, repeat...
Our passion and their hope, we absolutely appreciate every single set of hands, you guys made this weekend just another breeze! Surita and Dixon for acing the stables perseverance with p**p patrol, grooming, extra roughage and the list goes on. When the sun decided to show her face for a few hours, taking horses to stretch legs at least for a break at the front.
Jeremy on dogs and farmyard, Herma on hospital runs with me and urgent complaints and emergencies of which there was really enough to fill the diary for a week, Pierre being left in the middle of a complaint with a stuck bakkie ๐คฃ๐๐๐คฃ diagnosed with "fan belt" no more - ons het daai Ford bakkie gery soos net ons kan dat al drie fan belts gedraai het en nou afgetree is - luckily you are dry now and the light will shine again soon. At least being passenger in Herma's moon-mobile, I could for a change get my posts ALMOST up to date!
If there is a sponsor for a weekend away, I need two for this team this weekend please!! At least we can have you go 2 x 2 so all can have a break!
