What is it with those OK vets? Are they the best or what?

Yes, Mr. NE1, they are the best. I don't know the nice Mr. Dr. who made the horse's eye, but Mr. Dr. David, and Miss Dr. Susan, and Mr. Dr. Leonardo are amazingly wonderful, to which I can testify because I am still here.

P.S. Maybe one of them could keep my ears from falling off my head, like in the smiley.

Miss Annie, I can't completely re-attach your ears, but they don't look so bad this way.

I'm looking to see how you did that. Is this it?

Much better! Thank you, Mr. Plasticene. What does "size=1" mean?

It makes the font size 1% of the normal font size. But it applies only to the spaces around the smiley, and the smiley stays the normal size.

That's why I love you and almost all four-footers and the entire internet. You teach me neat stuff!

So how are my physics lessons helping you out?
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Interesting. The eye grows as the horse grows, although not to the same extent as the rest of the body, and if the eye isn't increased in size periodically then the orbit will not expand appropriately and it could result in a good deal of assymetry of the face. That could get noticeable over time in a "show" horse. Given the cost of the prosthesis I wonder if they have taken that into account.

Then again since it is a miniature horse perhaps it won't be as dramatic as it might be with a standard sized horse.
