Jinny Part 3

Jinny was crying, unable to process what had happened, it was too shocking. She sat next to Storm’s head stroking her smooth dark coat. The vet was already on his way, he didn’t live too far away but in this case, time mattered, there wasn’t enough time. Storm had already collapsed and she was trembling. Jinny’s dad was waiting outside the stable for the vet. Finally he had come and was already squatting next to Storm. Over the phone, Jinny’s mum had told him that it was a brown snake, that’s what Jinny thought she saw. Dr Alfred, their vet, had brought out a syringe, he applied the needle top to it and filled it with liquid. “I’m just going to give her some anti-venom” He spoke as he slid the needle into Storm’s skin. “She is in a pretty bad state, if you waited a little longer she would have being gone, but I don’t know how far the venom has travelled already, it might already be too late” Jinny gasped as her heart sank deeper, her chest was tight and she found it hard to swallow. What if she was going to lose Storm? It would all be her fault for bringing her for a trail ride and letting her get bitten. “All we can do know is wait and see, her kidneys might be clotted and she could die of kidney failure”

Storm was getting worse by the minute, she was tense and she was shaking. Jinny heard her parents and Dr Alfred discussing something. “Jinny” her mother said “Get some rest in your room” Jinny looked up at her mum “Why? It’s not even afternoon? Are you going to put her down?” Her mother looked back at her father “Just go” Jinny started to cry even more and grasped onto Storms neck not willing to let go “I’m sorry, my Stormy, don’t give up” Storm snorted. “Is she going to die, John?” “She is suffering, it’s inhumane to keep an animal alive in such bad health, it’s good for her” Jinny buried her face in Storms mane. It felt like hours had gone by. She had blocked out all the sounds going around her until Storm’s tense neck was finally at ease, she looked at storms delicate face laying in the straw motionlessly. “Thank you John” said her father’s voice “No problem, I’m sorry about Storm she had a great second life here” Dr Alfred’s footsteps slowly faded as he walked down the stable hall. “Is she really gone?” Her parents didn't reply.

God! I hated but loved writing this part! I was crying throughout the whole thing! Sorry about what happened! :(

Numbat

Animal of the week...   

Numbat

The numbat is an animal native to Australia. It originates from Western Australia. It is a small animal and despite it being a marsupial, it doesn't have a pouch. 

 

#1- Numbats are omnivores which means they eat both meat (numbats eat insects) plants. They can also be classified as insectivores since most of their diet consists of insects, especially termites.

#2- Numbats don't need to drink water because of the amount of termites they consume can replace water.

#3- Unfortunately, numbats can only live up to around 5 years.

#4- Their tongues are long and sticky, perfect for getting in termite nests to eat small insects.

#5- Numbats are endangered from being killed by non-native animals such as foxes, they are small and defenseless making them an easy mean for a fox or cat.

Usually Mondays are not the greatest days but since it's holidays it's the best day! There are only two weeks of holidays but of course it's better then nothing! Holidays also mean that I will be able to spend more time with my fluffy children:) Any ideas for what I could do for Random Mondays? Anyway, bye!

Story- Part 2!

           Jinny tacked up Storm and brushed her. Once Jinny was on her mount, they rode together down the gravel drive way to her favourite trail. When the pair were on the other side of their front gate they turned right.  The road would eventually split into two narrow trails. Once they got to that part, they again turned right. This was Jinny’s favourite trail. It was the true Australian bush. Eucalyptus trees spread for hundreds of meters, some even had Koalas in them. At some point the trail widened enough to let the horse and rider canter. They had to slow to a walk when the road became narrow again, this time there were not as many trees, most of them had been burnt from last year’s fires and Jinny was starting to feel the hot sun on her skin. Today’s gonna be hot Jinny thought to herself. Finally they arrived at a beach where they started cantering again. And before they knew it, they were again back on the bush trail, but now going back on the trail to go home. Once they passed the wide stretch of land were they cantered, disaster struck. They were peacefully walking until a snake slithered past, Storm freaked out and her nostrils flared and started breathing heavily. Jinny was scared too and was trying to calm storm down but she started to buck, knocking Jinny right out of her seat and making her fall hard on the ground. While Storm was still bucking she stepped on the snake, in defence, it bit Storm below the knee and slithered away barely injured. Jinny was left lying in on the hard dusty ground, clutching her arm in pain. She couldn’t lye there forever, her horse got bitten by a snake. That sentence motivated her more and more to get up and forget about the pain to go tend her horse. Storm was panting. Jinny ripped of her jacket and wrapped it up tightly around the bite marks which were oozing blood. They weren’t far from home but what Jinny knew about snake bites was that you couldn’t move much or the venom would spread faster. Jinny slowly led Storm through the trail until their home could be seen.

          I hope you enjoyed this story, as always please don't take it as it is  mine :) Next Thursday will be part 3!

         P.S-In Australia holidays will be coming, tomorrow is the last day before holidays, so I have two weeks of freedom, holidays also mean I will be doing regular updates of both my blogs because I will be spending more time at home!

        Stay fluffy,

Wednesday- Animal of the week!.....Horse

Horse!

Everybody has heard of a horse, they can range in sizes from 80 200 cm tall and even taller (or smaller) in so many different arrays of colours. Some of my favorites are dun, dapple grey, black, chestnut, bay and blue roan :) Horses can be used in many different styles and events like English and Western. In English, it is more formal and you would have events like dressage, cross country and show jumping, while in Western, you would have events like reining, barrel racing and cutting.
1#- horses can live up to their late 30's
2#- horses can sleep both lying down and standing up.
3#- if cut (lawnmower) grass is fed to a horse, it can be fatal
4# there are 3 'genders' of horses! Male and female and a castrated male is called a gelding.
                                                            5#- there are over 250 breeds of horses.

Stay fluffy,
