Molly the 3 Legged Horse
You gotta meet Molly… Meet Molly. She’s a grey speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana. She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled. While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected, and her vet went to LSU for help, but LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.

They are here right now on their way south. The hummingbirds number about 2 dozen at any given time. You can get right close up to them, as they are focused on nourishing on the nectar in the feeders.

Here he is on an outing in the yard, enjoying the green grass. I’m not sure if he is squinting because the sun is in his eyes, or if he is just enjoying me scratching the back of his neck and purring. He loves everyone, and he loves to be loved. We will keep up with Socks as he has more memorable experiences.
