Helping a friend in need

Wow first of all this has been a busy week. Finally have time to sit down and write.
Got up this morning to a actually decent day. At least temps were above the below zero mark. Went out and loved on my horses a little and brushed out Whisper and Penny the two youngsters. Needed to run to town and get more grain for the horses and was just getting my self ready to go and I get a phone call from a neighbor that lives down the road. They had a filly down and could not get her up and was not sure what was wrong. So Dale and I jump in the truck and head down the road to see if we can help. I haven't seen these horses in awhile and when we got there we found a little 2 yr old filly laying in a barn shivering. I had the owner get a halter and we tried and tried to get her up with no luck. She seemed to be hurting and we got her maneuvered around enough to get her drug out of the small part of this barn she was in to a wider area so we could get her help and get her up. We finally talked the owners into calling a vet to come out and we stayed with them and waited. We made a few attempts to get the little girl up with no luck. My son and his boss were out hunting and they stopped and with us all together we did finally get this girl on her feet. She was so cold and they were not sure how long she had been laying in the barn and so I felt it was just so important to get her up.
After we got her up she took a few unsteady steps and slowly inched her way to the door way and we got her into the sun which I felt warmed her some.
The vet did finally make it and after treatment for colic she seemed to be a little better. For awhile there I thought they were going to lose her. She just seemed to give up a few times and would lay there. The little filly was pretty skinny and so I gave the owners heads up on a good feed program to start their horses on (as they were all pretty skinny) and get them into shape so they can put on body fat. With the way it has been here weather wise they needed some fat to help keep them warm. Got done with that and headed home. Am going to go out now and work on my babies and clean some pens and make a nice place for them as with all this snow and now it is warmer it is melting some and now getting wet and will get icy.
Oh I did come home with a new little addition to the family. The people I helped with their horse had this little miniature pincher/Chihuahua cross they wanted to get rid of and it was living outside and it has like NO hair! So I felt bad for it and took him home. He is not quite a year old and is as cute as cute can be.
