Teeny-Tiny Horses Exist · 4:39pm Sep 18th, 2015
So this is a thing that is actually a thing?
I guess you can't ride them, but OMG so cuddly. So much the wubs.
Fun stuff aside, I'm still struggling 24/7 to find a treatment for depression that works again. The latest attempt is failing so far, so in a week I'll be shifting gears to some other chemical. Hooves crossed.
The brainstate I'm currently in is slowing down everything I do, so I may need to be quiet for a while, or at least until I decide to illicitly take a carefully-measured dose of some kind of toxin to give myself a seizure in the hopes of a six-month reprieve. (Or alternatively, maybe just two jumper cables to the back and front of the left side of my brain; how hard can that really be to pull off properly amirite?)
Hopefully it won't come to that. Or to MAOI's, for that matter.
Yes, miniature horses really do exist. And they're, well, miniature relative to horses, though still large for, say, a dog.
To be completely accurate, we have giant horses now and mini-horses were what we had once upon a time.
Which by the way means that ponies are clearly the descendants of the original space-faring proto-horses.
My mother went to "The land of little horses" when she was young, and her life goal is to have a few on a small farm. Someone up the street from where I grew up had a few, and they are quite adorable. It's fun to watch them play or be lazy. Also, I believe there was at least one at the Kentucky Horse Park when I went. I was busy looking at the pretty muscular horses.
As for the other thing, I hope you can find something that works for you. You deserve to be happy.
Side note: I miss you
Whatever you do don't lose your memory, you need that to write. Think of Hemingway. Hope you feel better soon *offers a hug*

Neither here nor there, but I knew a furry who had a dog of some breed you could actually easily mistake for a bear. The thing was positively enormous. A Google search suggests it was an abnormally huge Newfoundland in the 100 kg range.

Aww. (Me too.)

Yeah, the largest dogs are bigger than the smallest miniature horses - the ones they use as service animals are about 55-110 pounds, which is the size of a big dog.
100 kg is a very large dog/wolf, though. I think the largest one my family has ever owned was like 75 pounds or so (so about 35 kg).

I'm sure my estimate is exaggerated. He did look a lot like this guy:

...except almost as large, but much thicker around the middle, and all black.

You can still get MAOIs in this day and age? I thought those had gone the way of leeches and bloodletting; terrifying meds, those.
I know what a struggle it can be, finding just the right treatment that works. I wish you luck!
