Feet , Hooves, Tires

Just thinking about putting your best foot forward and how this has been a hard year for all the things that we walk, roll on at our house. Bunny has been in a cast twice this summer - one for each foot-tendonitis each time. Bella has had both of her big toenails removed due to some really vigorous soccer playing, the horse had a great big slice down the back of his hoof from his heat stroke and now this week there have been TWO popped tires. Wednesday I somehow got a metal ballpoint pen straight through the sidewall of my brand new tire. Van is less than two weeks old and the tires only had 296 miles on them...boo hoo. But off I went to TireLand for a new one. Then Boy calls today and says he has hit a curb and the tire went flat. Since he has only been driving for about 7 months and this is his first incident- I guess that's not so bad. But once again- the sidewall has a hole and another tire must be purchased. I'm thinking we are having some bad tire karma. Or maybe some bad mobility karma. But it's all okay. All of the feet/hoof/tire issues can and have been fixed- except maybe Bunny's feet- they may need some surgery. Still- I am putting feet milagros all over the house in hopes of warding off any more mishaps- and for now- we are all still moving. Life is good. Life is crazy.
