It's good news about the pony - the RSPCA were there this morning to try & catch him & take him to safety.
I spoke to one of their inspectors on the phone yesterday, & he had been going up daily to give him food & water (there have been buckets for him this week). Presumably they had to wait until they had the resources or whatever to come & get him.
They think he'd just been dumped in the field - possibly by someone who couldn't afford to keep him anymore. Grrrr - that makes me so angry as you can hand an animal over to a rescue without having to resort to this kind of abandonment.
Anyway - as long as he'll allow himself to be caught - he should be on his way to a happier home right now. ♥
I'm so relieved! :-)

The
sga_art_santa deadline is approaching, & my piece is nowhere ready yet. :-(
I think I'm experiencing creative burnout with all the advent stuff! (24 pieces in such a short space of time is quite a lot! Even though I did start preparing stuff a couple of weeks in advance, whilst trying to write my SGA Santa fic too! *g*)
I can't let my recipient down though & so I'm getting back to it. :-)
Bud is being super supportive by looking adorable sleeping on his office bed by the side of my desk. *g*
