Fluffy Girl - The Barn mascot

This weekend was a sad day at our barn. Fluffy Girl, our barn cat, was maulled by a visiting Golden Retriever. What seemed like a friendly visit from Kelly and Homer (the dog) soon turned into chaos. As usual, Fluffy Girl came out from the barn to greet the new visitor, as she always does with our two dogs each morning. However one thing led to another and soon Fluffy Girl was shaken and carried off like a prized possession. Although in the end, Fluffy Girl did get in a few scratches, she virtually used up at least seven of her lives that afternoon. Homer did finally let go of the cat and later that afternoon she returned to the barn but not without injury. She was on the brink of death with outward injuries to graphic to describe however not limited too glazed over eyes, teeth marks that showed fatty tissue, swollen jaw and swollen back end.

In the end, we manage to get her to see the vet. She will be on IV for three days, force fed and given pain killers every three hours. The vet will prepare her for surgery once the swollen areas go down. Responsibly and thankfully, Homer's owners are footing the $500 vet bill.

Round one goes to Homer but watch out Homer Fluffy Girl will get you in round two with a KO!
