Thanks everyone! I am doing it! I was thinking the same same thing. He is a freak about how the front yard looks so I guess he is even trying to be a freak about the snow too.
Yvonne, that is great news! How often do you have to redress the wound and will she let you do it?

Yvonne, did the vet find the cause or is it just another “hoof mystery abscess"? For those who don't know, you could have a 1" piece of wire on 20 acres, the rest nice clean pasture, and a horse will find a way to injure themselves on it.
A burro can graze in a junkyard with rusted jagged pieces of metal everywhere and never get injured.

There was no outward cause...just a case of bacteria gaining entry through a small crack or something and growing.

The dressing can stay on (if it will. A hoof is a hard place to dress) for three days, then change it. I hope I don't have to change it because I'll never get it on as good as he did. They make little boots for horse feet, but they're quite expensive. She got a shot of penicillin and I'm to give her pain med and sulpher daily until she's well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY:D Looks like they sure enjoyed their froyo? BTW, what is that? Like frozen yogurt? Nice that the birthday girl likes too share:D


Ha, I think I just figured it out. That's short for frozen yogurt, right? See, I'm not a tester at all. In fact I was going to call it short hand :p:D That really shows my age:)

Yes it was greek all natural dairy free frozen yogurt which sounds scary but isn't. We got them their own cups because they don't share well at all :D

Oops, that was suppose to say texter:D My dog loves ice cream. We have to spell it around her or she goes nuts. She gets her own, with a cone, but we put it in a bowl. Then she races to eat it so she can have some of mine. She always has a big ice cream burp after, yuk:D

Wait a minute! I thought yogurt was cultured dairy.

The one that we get is made either with coconut or almond milk. It is all natural, kosher, dairy free, and gluten free. The people who make this are local to my area and developed it to support the kosher community. It actually tastes great and is naturally low in calories and carbs. We typically eat it every Saturday night after sundown (like vampires :p). My lab has severe food allergies and included are soy and dairy, so this is a great option for her. They actually do include active yogurt cultures though which have health benefits.

So where is this romantic lunch taking place?
Hardly romantic, it was the Center Street Grill and the kids joined us so it was more of a family affair, albeit, a wonderful gathering.

Here is the great part…they want to board the horses here and have us teach them the care and maintainence as well as everything else concerning the horses and how to be good owners! And they want to pay us monthly to boot. They buy the horses, all the tack and the trailer, I teach them how to care for them, they pay me monthly, and I've still got them here? Don't wake me up, I'm diggin this dream!!!
Don't freakin' wake up! Let the check clear.

Chachi and I, my male sambava, are watching SciFi, "Ice Road Terror". He seems quite intent on watching it. I am thinking I should make sure his paddock is well secured tonight.

So I spent time and money at Harbor Freight to outfit my rock hound bags. I hope I did well. While HB prices are great, the product does mirror the cost. I tried to keep purchases down to noncritical items. I think I am pretty much ready outside of the east wing hammer and folding shovel. I think the first trip is scheduled to be Topaz Mnt. Great for us newbies.

It was cash! Dead presidents as it were.
Coconuts and almonds produce juice/water. They lack a teat for milk production.
Feeling all ornery tonight. Sorry.

I'm lactose intolerant. 12 minutes after a glass of milk and I drop bombs that will peel paint. I don't know why anyone would drink milk if they weren't lactose intolerant.


I know, I know, all these comedians out of work and I'm making jokes for free!


That's funny. I go to the barn and feed the horses and no one has made a comment. Really?

I don't think I can talk about dead presidents since I am a fed.....but hey, you can be as ornery as you want. Do watch for the drones though. No, I did not just say that, someone jacked my keyboard.

If you have a dairy allergy like my dog you can't have dairy. My dog tries to claw all of her face hair off if she eats something she is allergic too. :p If you are kosher depending on what you eat you can't have dairy either. I actually don't have dairy in large quantities because I get sick to my stomach. I can have dairy free stuff in whatever quantity I want. :D
