Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

[gothic**immortal]

Deno (proper name De Novo) was adopted by FHG posters in 2005 when one of them, Shebalator, rescued him from slaughter.

Then - 700lbs underweight with a broken jaw and multiple other ills.




2008 - still struggling with sarcoids but finally fit enough to have a light rider up for the first time so he could
join his mates on a jaunt round the local lanes



2009 - due to sheb’s declining health, a new home was sought for Deno.
A very brave ebayer named upthecreekyetagain ( very apt name I think you will agree) agreed to take him on.
So, now Deno lives in Surrey with the Creeky family, plus 3 lovely mares. He has 5 acres of grass and orchards to roam in and is very happy.



His sarcoids still remain a problem, but a new vet is investigating them further to decide on the best course of palliative care.
Visits can be arranged, please contact Creeky for more info.


Deno is reliant on fundraising and donations for his food, medicines and all the things that make his world that bit nicer.

His in-depth story can be found on his website http://www.denorescuedhorse.co.uk/
and there is more info (including how you can join in and help him) on Elphaba’s Me Page.

This replaces his previous diary thread that had become too cumbersome to load.
And to mark the start of the next chapter of his life.

New Deno supporters always welcome!

Morning

Nice to see you Martha, not seen you about for ages 🙂

Have to say, the image in my mind of an inverted Deno in the oildrum getting all feets done at once is one that will keep me smiling for some time. He'd probably love it.

Its very warm though

"Did you keep the receipt?"

Aren't vets bills just awful. I took Toby to the vets two weeks ago and he came out with some special shampoo, some amino acid to go on his food and a check up and it was nearly £80 for 15 minutes.

[*elphaba*]

Thats a bit better than I had guessed, but still :_|:_|:_|

Bev's cat is on IV fluids which she is running in him at home......at £60 a week on top of the drugs he needs 😞
Its the ancient cats who have caused her vets bill to be so horrible, not her rats which she is known for.

Creeky, is your vet accepting payment in installments?

I hope lots of us join Gothic and I in MDCC this month. Its fun, and every little bit quickly mounts up.

[charlie-girl2008]

My Charlie costs me £245 a month for her medication:-(

LOT of money, but she's worth it.

What/where is MDCC and can anyone take part?

Would like to help if I can.

This is how MDCC works:(Monthly Daft Charity Coalition)
Once each month sellers aim to have fun whilst raising money for charities and good causes of their choice.

MDCC runs for 7 days starting on the last Sunday of each month (excluding December) and sellers are invited to list up to 5 fun auctions to raise money for their favourite charity or good cause.Just mention the charity you are sending the money to (I always ask for cheques to be made out to the charity) & include MDCC in the auction title so people can find your stuff. Easy!
All are welcome to join in.

The dafter the item, the more fun it is. Have sold a cordless hammer, jellybaby sculpture and all manner of daft things in the past,



Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.

[all*patched*up]

I forgot that bit! lol:^O

[alchemist-01]

You can also sell gorgeous, desireable stuff that gets lots of bids too. ;):-D

[all*patched*up]

Also very true.:^O
