[a mini dream come true]

Delilah is out for some sun and exercise for a little while.

Lindi, I'm not sure what a gypsy cob looks like. The gypsy's have the long hair o around the hooves, right? She deffinately has long hair down the backs of her legs and her fetlocks, but she is 100% Falabella miniature. Thank for saying she's gorgeous. I think so too and of course I'm not biased

. Love all my chips.

I'm out to do some chores so see you in a bit.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Delilah did not want her udder washed

. we made it tho with a little dancing

Not much change.

I see Delilah! I see Delilah! I see Delilah!!! yippee, sorry I'm abit late with that, yesterday was kinda a write off for me, with baby Finley sick again!

but I am at the office today and will check in on our precious girl!!! this is so exciting!

so I can't remember but did you do the ring test?

 

[a mini dream come true]

Hi Cassie

, I hope Finn is feeling better. He is such a cutie. He needs to stay well for you. Yes I did the ring test and it said Filly

, so we will see. Glad you can get the cam.

. Heather was so sweet in helping me to get everything right. I found out today that I can actually get Delilah's cam up at work. Wasn't too sure about if. There is a lot of stuff that is blocked off the net.

. That will be a plus since it will be me and you girls watching. Hubby is in New Deal and that's an hour away so he won't be much help.

We can handle it

[a mini dream come true]

Work comes early for this ol gal so I'm off to bed. See ya'll in the morning

 

[Eagle]

1.15 am and she has got the munches.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks girls!

With the munchies and only one poo, think I'll let her out in her small run where she can come and go during the day. She usually has at least two poos at night. I wouldn't want to stress her now. She's not looking too close. After watching FF

I am more excited than ever for Delilah to have her little bundle on the ground.

:yeah . Will try to check in during the day. Thank you all again

Delilah looking as though she's expecting something - breakfast possibly? Or.........?

Hazel, you said that you would let her have the run of her small enclosure so she can come and go? Please remember that proper exercise is super important for mares at all times, especially during the last month. They must move about as much as possible so as big a space as you can give them is important. Not good for them to be standing in their stalls or to be standing in one place outside munching on a pile of hay all day. If you have no grass then put small piles of hay in various places round the available space or even trail a bit along behind you as you walk immitating sparce grass, so they graze while moving.

Also if you have no grass for them to have access to, then remember to keep plenty of moisture in the feed - soak it, add well sliced apples etc etc - anything you can to keep Delilah's system running smoothly.

Thanks Anna for the info. Found out this morning I cant watch the cam at work. Against policy. need to update phone to check with it.

 

[Eagle]

What a shame Hazel but there enough of us dotted around the world so we should be able to watch her 24/7 and when she gets close we will make sure she is covered so try not to worry. I know it is nice to be able to watch them though but you probably wouldn't get much work done

 

[a mini dream come true]

Renee,

I know she'll be well watched. As far as work

there is not stopping that. I receive trucks and deliver supplies all day at work. We have our lull times and that was when I was going to check her, but not now

. Seems it's a big NO NO!

Anna, Thanks for the advice. I'll start stringing hay in the morning so she will have more to do during the day.

if ya'll are still up check the cam for a little surprise.

 

[AnnaC]

What a cute little dog Hazel.

Is she/he a senior canine (she/he sits down a lot while you are working), she/he also follows you around getting in the way of your work bless her! Do tell us something about her/him and perhaps a close up picture. She/he's a real sweetie!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Anna, that was Mr. Wags. He is a miniature dashound.

. He has two sisters. One a black and tan that is super hiper and a tan sister. I took wags because he is easier to keep up with. One at a time sort of thing. Did you see our Boxer? She wasn't too sure what to think

scared of the little one.
