Dear Clients,

In light of the recent EHV-1/EHM outbreak in Texas and Oklahoma, we are taking extra precautions to help protect the health and safety of your horses. At this time, we kindly ask all clients to notify us if your horses have been traveling recently or if any horse in your care is showing signs of illness. Please understand that if either situation applies, we may need to reschedule your barn for the safety of all animals we serve.

Additionally, if you are holding a horse for us, we ask that you help prevent your horse from licking, sniffing, or playing with our hair, skin, or clothing. Because we do not have the ability to shower between each stop, this small precaution helps greatly. We will, however, be thoroughly washing our hands and disinfecting our tools and boots between every client.

While there have been no reported cases in Georgia at this time, these measures are simply precautionary steps to ensure the continued health and well-being of your horses.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely,
Barefoot Trims Farrier Service

JUST A DOG -
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure and unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.

Because of "just a dog," I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog," but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," just smile--because they "just don't understand."
