COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

Oh yes, my sister is back from Alaska. The other Dr that works with her decided to relocate there permanently so she has come back home to resume specialist care in a Mon- Fri facility... She has Cinders younger Sister so We met At a park for a good walk and catch up and also to give the 4 legged children a play date...View attachment 320672View attachment 320673

(sh-sh-sh-sh. . . dont tell your sister, but Cinders is cuter!)

here’s my update on the farm..

So Yesterday was a week in incubation for my chicken eggs... only two out of 23 were infertile and those two were eggs from a frizzle mixture I think.. so two more weeks to go until hatch..

my feed store ladies are doing well. One of my Buff‘a had a dried poop ball obstructing her poop path and was getting in a bad way. When I realized it last night, I took her and held her butt under warm running water until the ball starting softening enough for me to remove it.. She immediately unloaded at least half her body weight in waste and is very happy and active this morning .. Gross I know, but alive n well most importantly..?

It happens quite a lot with baby birds. We have to do this at the rescue too.

not sure if I mentioned, but I had taken Ready ( the horse) a few weeks back to the vet and had a full allergy panel ran on him... it turns out that he is allergic to most everything that makes him a horse... a few of the main ones being Bermuda & Rye grass, Deer flies and mosquitos, soy beans, etc... So that Means, no hay, special feed, and constant insect armor... He is a perfect candidate for treatment via allergy injections.. The company (Spectrum) that did the testing actually creates a medication that is specific to his allergy needs and works over a period of time to build his immunity...I decided to go this route and yesterday received his shipment of meds.. He tolerated his first two shots well. It’s my hope that he is much more comfortable this summer ..

Poor Ready. I hope the meds bring relief quickly.

Good morning....
Is the fox going to eat those frogs?????
I don’t have a clue what fox eat and he is dangerously close to them!!??? ?????

I daresay a fox would take a frog if it got the opportunity, but they’re not too keen on them. in the countryside they will hunt rabbits and birds. In the suburbs where we are they’re more likely to scavenge... although people need to lock up their pet rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens at night!

The neighbourhood cats are more of a danger to the frogs... one of them spends a lot of time watching them.


And hedgehogs may mostly be insectivores, but they will take them too if they’re on land and not paying attention! Hedgehogs will also catch and kill mice!

Did you see the Tasmania Devil when you were there? ??

Not in the wild, but we saw a few in captivity

They sound like a good company to be using. My family have something similar going on with allergies. If the immune system is going down by a few allergies then you start being allergic to everything. Maybe later after the treatments you'll find what his actual allergies are. I suspect it's insects.?

Another really nice day here & still going strong. Started off very overcast & party rainy. Now, the sun is shining brightly.

This morning was another scheduled kayaking day. I’m glad that we didnt cancel!

The Start

I don't know what it is about boat pictures that always mean serenity to me. I don't really enjoy being in or on a vehicle of any type. Yet I love to watch boats in a harbor etc.?

Soothing isn’t it?

 

[Cathie G]

Soothing isn’t it?

Yes. I always enjoy sitting on a dock or beach etc just watching. I can do it for hours. Sometimes with a fishing pole.

I really like to inspire Joe’s art!!

me And a friend took the horses out Monday for a few hours and we ended up riding up on a house with a few people that we knew. One of the ladies there had an Autistic son and he was very interested in Ready... so I helped him climb up and took him on a walk about

it made both of us feel good!

Oh it’s perfect!

I finished the chicken pen today amd the babies had their first outdoor excursion...
Toretto was trolling about and Found the wild cactus bed .. ?



last year, the concrete border kept him out because these pads tend to run flat and stayed out of site... No such luck this year..

I'll bet a lot of them will go away or lesson with treatment.

He loved the pictures and I did too. I bought Razberri a pet stroller too lol. I use it for Dilly though because...wabbits chew and that's the first thing she did. She chewed a tiny hole in the front screen and it now it has a cat patch ?
