Servicing the Mare


We had to take our dog Basil to the Vet yesterday. Unfortunately he has several tumors (haemangiosarcoma) on his legs which means the cancer is already in his blood stream and spread has occurred. We took him to a rural/horse vet called Margaret for removal of 1 tumor and about 12 or so smaller masses were found at surgery. She was amazing and very caring given the bad news. Anyway, I digress..............when we arrived to pick Basil up Margaret was trotting a horse around. She informs us the horse had just been "serviced" - aka sexed up by a boy horse and to distract her and stop her from squatting and squirting out all the semen like last time she was keeping her moving. Now the clincher here is the boy horse is worth a lazy 10 million dollars (now that's some expensive sperm right there!!) - lets hope both the mare and I are equally sucessful following our "servicing"!! Tomorrow is my last accupuncture session for this cycle. The aim of this session is to stimulate blood flow to facilitate a cosy environment for the hopefully fertilised egg to nest. If nothing else it will be a good excuse to lay down and relax for an hour.
