I think I may have watched my last Melbourne Cup after the horrible end to today's big race with the tragic loss of two magnificent animals, but, trying to put that horrible turn of events aside Joanie thoroughly enjoyed our home luncheon where Ju Ju (Mum) made some tasty chicken and pistachio sandwhiches and trifle for desert and Vonnie, Mum and I shared a very fancy shmansy bottle of Chandon.
Ju Ju also put together a sweep and Jb minded Dad ( GG's) horses and she must of been good luck as two of them won first and second place. Again I'm feeling quite conflicted about horse racing as the lunches and fashions on the field are fun but I'm unsure if these races in entirety are really worth it if these beautiful creatures are in such high risk and are ultimately racing for their lives.
Perhaps in the future we will just do the hat parade and sandwhiches and not any gambling that is in support of such an event.
Joanie Belle is looking so much better I have put a photo from when we first got home to today and you will be able to see the huge improvement with her swelling and even her forehead is softening.

Gosh, the swelling really has gone done a lot. Glad to see Jb's focus on her food!
ReplyDeleteYes Sue her appetite has returned! She was eating steak and apple! Random combo I know . Only thing was she thought it was very funny to show Vonnie her mouth full of the mixture.....when she's old enough to know better Ill put a stop to that! Hope you're well xx
