Catching up and winterizing

 

Snickers went on to her new home November 3rd.  She absolutely loves the kids and I think it was the best placement possible for her.

Tessa also went on to her new long term lease home, with Miss Kelly Beck.  So far from all that I have heard she has settled into her new herd fairly well.  She fits in size wise much better with them.  I just hope she is a good girl for Kelly and does not cause her any trouble.

I winterized the rabbit side of the barn today.  Apparently there was less plastic sheeting on that roll than I thought.  It doesn't even go to the ground and didn't leave me any to do the other door as well.  Oh well I will have to pick up another roll at some point.

Spent a little time out with the 'black n whites' and at least brushed out their mane's and tails today.  They got their first round bale yesterday thanks to Lisa and Dad to help get it out while I was coming back from a Rabbit run.  I had 2 Mini Lops go on to their new homes. 

This is the damage from the roll over night.  I just hope it holds for the full 2 weeks as we have planned.  Though they don't seem to mind the tarp or the hay cradle.  I just wish they wouldn't make such a flipping mess! I will get a new plastic head for my pitchfork and keep it down there so I can keep it cleaned it up some.  

I think Stormy has outgrown the horse size rope halter but for worming today I put the draft horse size and that is still apparently too large. Time to find the warmblood size one.  I have it somewhere!

I am ready for the Thanksgiving break so I can dig some stuff out and mess with the horses some more!  I totally didn't want to wash the horse smell off me today as I have missed it so much.  

And of coarse Willow!  Always

Fur-baby update and Pears!

A Willow and Snickers update!  The two tail-less blue dogs are great together.  Snicks is a little standoffish with other dogs, she's been a little nippy when dogs won't take the hint and back off her.  She's looking and feeling healthier.  Now to just keep her eating her kibble is the joke.

The big girls are good, starting to get a little fluffy for winter despite it's still 80 outside and they are sweating during the day.  

I got a 'few' pears from Aunt Lisa.  She had a few to spare for Jess to make some pear sauce and pear butter.  So I spent a couple hours peeling them so Jess could cut them up and start cooking them down. 

Meet Snickers

 Snickers was a nice mini aussie from an Amish puppy mill and was turned over to Heartland Sheltie Rescue.  Jenny and Aunt Lisa told me about her and she came to Boonesboro Animal Clinic to get spayed.  Me being too scared to ask dad, Lisa did, and let me foster her.  She does love Lisa's yard because she's not on a leash there.  

She will not be a foster fail- as that was one stipulation from dad was I do not interfere with the adoption but I get to start teaching her how to be a loving member of the family.  She's walking pretty well on leash.  Still hesitant about going poddy on leash though.  We will work on it!  She is a pretty girl and with Willow the two make a cute pair!

Hoof day

 

The girls got their pedicures today.  At first Michael had said he would be here at 9:30, then this morning he texted and said he was running late but still I wanted the girls up top and tied up at 9:30.  Not amused standing in the rain but they got over it.  Sadly I didn't feel like going to the bottom to go grab my grooming stuff since I only grabbed my first aid tote.
