Mysterious Lameness ... again

    It really shouldn't come as a shock to anyone that one of my horses is injured.. again.. I don't even know what happened this time. Part of me having a house and no car means I don't get to see my horses as much. It's hard, but it's hopefully just temporary. Even if I had been around more I don't think I would have known what happened anyway. Stuff just happens to my horses.

Canine Pneumonia ...... ? Part III

    I KNOW you all have been just DYING for an update on Roque. Well, here it is... For all his adoring fans and those that have been there for me through this rough patch.

Canine Pneumonia ......? Part II

  That weekend was one of the longest of my life while I anxiously awaited the arrival of the test results, and watched my pup suffer the effects of whatever was attacking his immune system. Monday took forever to arrive. And even then the results weren't available until nearly 5pm!

Canine Pneumonia ..... ? Part I

   It was Friday morning the 18th around 10am when I noticed something was terribly wrong with my 2 year old Australian Shepherd, Roque. I didn't even need to take his temperature, or check his gums, or listen to his lungs to know something was very very wrong. It was all in his eyes.

Cuts & Bruises

  So my poor kiddo keeps hurting herself. She's just a clutz. Like her momma. She trips, she falls, she bangs herself up left and right. First it was her tooth. She chipped it in half, if you remember my previous blog. My little hillbilly child. And now she's sliced her head pretty good.

A Busted Lip

   It was a little traumatic to find my baby screaming in the garage with blood streaming down her beautiful little face. I'm definitely not an emotional person or a neurotic mother. But it's no fun to hear your baby cry in pain.

The Surgery

  
    Well, I did it. Roque has said goodbye to his intact male youth. He can now be officially be trusted around those of the opposite gender. Well, I don't know about trusted, but let's just say Samantha and her siblings will be his last and only offspring.

It's Been Awhile

   It's been awhile since I've added an entry to my online blog. Life has changed in so many ways and has been so crazy that I have a TON to share with you. And hopefully now that the holidays have come and gone and the puppies are all grown up and with their new families, I'll have time to keep up with my blog.

Horse vs. Metal Jump Cup

   So what happens when a horse and a metal jump cup face off? When a horse gets up close and personal with a solid object? Even when this object doesn't necessarily have sharp edges? The horse looses. Horse + Metal Jump Cup = Major Injury.

Today, Part I - The Doctor Visit

   If you've never had a baby of your own that you've had to take to the doctor it will be very difficult for you to understand the amount of distress it puts a mom through to take her precious baby to the doctor, especially when the baby is healthy and well. Even just the act of calling to make the doctor appointment is enough to distress poor mother.
