One of my neighbor's horse was down yesterday morning. My dog, Hank, was upset and wanted to go to her. He woofed softly. The other horse came over to try to get her up. I called my neighbor and the poor chestnut mare was suffering from tannin poisoning from acorns. She was able to get the mare up and confined to the barn. I am praying for her recovery.
We've had a bumper crop of acorns this year and I see lots of whitetail congregating under the live oaks. I guess deer can tolerate them.
This morning, Hank was looking for the mare and wanted to go to the place she'd been lying down. Hank is the dearest dog with such a big heart.
