Problem Child

Boy........that Ringer is going to be the death of me. I'm tired this morning..........

Not only did he gig himself on the chain link fence on my birthday and it looks like a cougar raked the underside of his belly and groin............. last night when I went to feed up, I noticed that he was laying down and he doesn't usually lay down around 7 pm. I go ahead and feed the girls and then check him out. Yep.....he'd been rolling, and sweating and flopping back and forth in the sand. He'd wallowed out a couple of beds. I got him up and he groaned like an old man. He was pitiful....had dirt in his eyes, his mane was all tangled with dirt and hay. I walked him around for a while, called the vet, called Ms. Jane to buy a Banamine shot from her and then had Jenny go get the shot and administer it. Well, all this took about 45 minutes and just before Jenny got there, he let out a stinky, big ole fart and seemed to feel better. Dr. Tammy said that babies are very melodramatic because they've never felt it before and make a big deal about feeling bad. I had Jenny stick him anyway and I kept checking on him till about midnight. Well, long story short - he's fine this morning and I feel sleep deprived..

He's scheduled to be gelded tomorrow morning..............

My New Little Pond

Here's my new pond right off of our back patio. I can sit with a beverage of choice and listen to the relaxing sound of the fountain. Thanks Jenny !

Mother's Day Weekend

Robbin, Mom, Melinda, Julian and I packed up and drove to Springfield, TN to spend the weekend with Shelly and her family. We all had a great time all packed in Robb's truck and then packed in Shelly's house. Tennessee weather was crisp, cool and beautiful and we had a really nice visit. We attended a mother daughter brunch at Shelly's church, attended a street festival and did the obligatory Wal-Mart shopping. Bobby stayed home to tend the "farm" and let us have a girls weekend. Jenny couldn't get away and she was sorely missed. She dug a goldfish pond complete with fountain for me while we were gone. I've wanted one forever and she did a fantastic job! Here are some PICTURES taken over the weekend.
