Re: One of THOSE wormings...

I've been doing this every two months for four years now and this was the absolute WORST one ever.

There was worming paste all over D'argo, in every buckle and hole in his halter, in his ears, in MY ears, on the barn walls, on the floor, on the seat of a chair 12' away, on my shoes, behind my knees, on the food bin, in the leather weave of my shoes. If I later find some in my mailbox I will not be surprised.

I think I'm going to feed-type wormers from now on.

Shortly after moving the horses up here into my full time care I dug out some paste wormers to give them. One had been rolling around in the floor board of my car for some time and I decided that Lestat would get that one. Paige could have the fresher of the two. (and chances are dewormer that actually worked)

When I squeezed Lestat's tube the stuff pretty much crumbled out of the end. He promptly balled up it on his tongue and lobbed back at me at a high rate of motion. Not to be out smarted, I fetched it off the ground and shoved it back in his mouth using my fingers to smoosh it along his cheek and tongue. He thought about it for a few seconds rolling his tongue this way and that... waved his head in the air then sighed and pretended to nuzzle me,leaving a white smear across my shoulder and chest. The rest he delicately let dribble from his lips on the ground.

I laughed as I leaned over and picked up the last 1/2 inch of paste now reconstituted with saliva and peppered with dirt particles. I snuggled up close to his face and then snatched his upper lip in my free hand and smooshed the remaining dewormer across his front teeth. OH! I had him now! He stood there stunned for another few seconds then walked over to the water trough gave his lips a good grain cleansing flop wash then sauntered back close to me and very delibrately dropped his head down to the ground to rub his lips and teeth back and forth across the ground effectively grinding the last of the unswallowed paste into the dirt. I had dewormer buried under each finger nail, in my hair and two large smears on my arm, on my jeans and shirt, on his face and legs and side, on the ground and in the water trough. Chances are he had nothing more than the fleeting taste of it in his mouth.
I've never laughed so hard while trying to accomplish a usually simple task.
