"Yeah" Julie said. She closed the back and slowly took off the tiny halter. The skin had grown over it in some places. Gracie shivered, but stood still. Julie put some cream on the wounds it left and put a larger halter on. It was fuzzy and soft.
Julie clipped a lead rope to Grace's halter and carried the feed bucket. Grace followed. Julie lead her into a big, clean stall with soft, think bedding. Julie filled the feed and water troughs and tied Grace to the wall. Grace closed her eyes and tensed up. She hated being tied, it always mean something bad. Julie began to brush Grace and rinsed her copperish colored coat with warm water. Julie was horrified by what it revealed. "D-Danny?" she asked.
