I have to confess, I have done the same thing! I don't drive or anything, but sometimes just putting on a halter in a hurry can be frustrating. I don't do it often, but mine also know if a halter is on it usually means good things, like getting groomed, going for a walk, etc.

Good idea! Pretty sure it is a neighbor so this would put them on notice :)

Never heard of it. In 10 miles we may have only about 50 people at most. Given a few of the personalities I don't know if it would be a good idea or not. Will have to give that one some though! Good idea!

Aww...Thank you Maryann! Always a learning process, right?! Should also say, I think my boy loves me. So, give it time and patience...And I THINK yawning may rank up there with licking and chewing, but not sure. Baby could just be tired. Oh, one more thing you may hear---ALWAYS end on a good...

Thanks for all the great advice!! I love the camera idea, even if it was a dummy camera with a sign! I used to have beware of dog signs up and they deteriorated. Will get more. I only know that in my area, you must post beware of dog signs if you have a dog because it lets a trespasser know they...

I still consider myself a true novice, but watch for signs of her accepting what you are showing her. When she is ready to "digest" what has just happened she may lick her lips and pause and turn towards you. That is a good sign. Give her time and patience and it will all work out, and don't be...

I could use some "neighborly" advice...I was at work yesterday and my son told me he called 911 because somebody in a big, black pick up truck parked alongside my property where all my animals are. He said they were yelling at the animals and revving the engine to scare them. We really don't...

I have blanketed all but one of my minis due to the acorn fiasco. I still am unsure of how healthy they are after losing Cottontail. (She looked like I starved her to death--in one week). I took Pepper's blanket off because she obviously hated it and wouldn't let me feel underneath. We are...

COVID toes? Never heard of that one. Another thing to worry about! I have asthma but it's very rare I need an inhaler (usually for allergic reactions in my case), but I can't shake this cough. Lungs hurt. Got scared a couple of times over weekend with oxygenation when the beds of nails started...

Oh he is so calm and darling with your little one!

Pretty sure Abby is right. Fox and racoon. Mask of racoon is obvious.

Thank you

Yes. Where I work they test us twice weekly. On Dec.21 I was negative and on Dec.23 I was positive, but the results weren't back until Christmas day. I got called by employer Christmas evening AFTER my kids came to celebrate. Just went back to work yesterday and the unit I work on is...

The people in my home have COVID. Animals seem to be doing better actually! Pepper at least looks to have bounced back to normal and at the very least isn't bloated any more! Volt has lost some weight so still a little worried about him but his personality is coming back closer to normal. New...

Welcome to the forum! (I like to say my LIFELINE!). They are adorable! Keep us posted--literally!

DEFINITELY acorns are very bad. Recently lost an elderly girl to acorn toxicity and working hard to keep the other ones healthy since. I'm getting the feeling there aren't any safe trees for horses!

Thanks! Great advice!

Ya, carrying flashlights is a pain. I used to have a street lamp that lit up the whole area, but not too bright so it was like working outside at dusk instead of midnight. Unfortunately the pole rotted and tumbled down a couple of years ago. Another thing on my wish list!

Thanks! I think there is already less diarrhea. Just feeding loose on the ground now and quite a bit more. It is a bit rough for grass hay, so that may be part of the problem too. Will likely start nets sometime early spring if they have put on enough weight. Learning so much ! (But would...

Thanks! I do have heated water tanks. Just getting fresh water into those tanks is quite a task...I was stupid. Tried something new I thought would be a back and time saver. Have a large cart/wagon and filled up buckets with water, knowing they would freeze. I figured I could put some water in...
