April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Diane - give poor Hazel a chance, she never said that she would post daily pictures!! We shall still expect you to be a good girl on a daily basis though.

Hazel, I know it will probably drive you mad at the thought, but I wish that Delilah would hang on to her baby until end Feb/March and April would have hers nice and early, so you could have two little babies of a close age to play together. Last year we had just the two foals, but one was born a month early and was therefore a right little madam before the little boy was born some 4 weeks later. Little madam nearly got herself into serious trouble trying to get new little boy to leave his Momma and come to play before his Momma allowed him his freedom! LOL!!

I always find it takes 2 or 3 weeks for a mare to happily allow her foal to wander off and play with friends, so foals born close together can all share their 'first steps' off playing around at the same time. It is when you have one foal at more than a month and another newly born/a week old that you can have trouble as the new Momma chases off the older foal. But most experienced brood mares are pretty tolerant of other mare's babies, and will use care when 'seeing off' those nosey older foals.

Anna I understand. I went back today and recounted today to make sure on April's foal date. She was hand bred the 5th and 6th of July. I know she settled and that puts her due in May. Call me a control freak. Last year I didn't have a due date for her and she had a late abort. I was not home. First foal for me, at least second for her. all the sad stuff and I decided that that wasn't going to happen this year

.Now I have Delilah

. ooooppps so much for saying never again

:rofl

:rofl . If Delilah wanted to wait til February I might go crazy, but I would deal with it. Just need to get her on marestare. Hoping that will happen this weekend. I should be able to go get the Dazzle. Is that a brand Name?

The only thing is working at the prison.I have an extension, but if she is having trouble I would be afraid it might take me too long. I work 2 miles from my house a 6 min. drive at most. But it may take me 3 min to get out the gate. Remember I'm the control freak.

:rofl

:rofl Been trying to time everything out. Hubby and grandson may have to move in down here when the time gets closer. Hubby usually stays in New Deal during the week to babysit.

Sorry Diane, No puppy fix tonight. Didn't sleep last night so going to bed early. Will take some tomorrow.

 

[Lindi-loo]

:yeah Oh goodie goodie another mare to watch

:yeah Great combination of colours..maybe a tri colour baby

 

[AnnaC]

No worries Hazel - as long as you 'take off' from work flat out at the first sign of possible foaling (and the prison understands that there may be many false alarms LOL!!) then you should make it to be right by Delilah's side for the birth of her baby!!

Hope you are having a really good sleep tonight.

 

[a mini dream come true]

A tri color would be nice. Work will either understand or I'll get fired

:rofl

. My imediate supervisor has minis so he probably won't say anything. Of course he thinks I'm nuts on what I spend of food.

:rofl He's not into the shows and I don't think he spends much time with his minis. We really just quietly agree to disagree. He has his way and I have mine

Diane, suprise here is a pic of the little girl. She just got her eyes open.

She is about 2 weeks younger than the little boy.

 

[a mini dream come true]

She is getting to be a little porker, Momma is doing good. I was worried she wouldn't be a good momma, but I was wrong. Of course I knew Roxie has always been a fab mom. My house is so dark it's hard to get good pics sometimes. I only have one good spot for pics this time of night. Here's the little man

Enjoy and you still have to be good Diane. We want you well

:yeah

 

[a mini dream come true]

:rofl

:rofl you are just too cute Diane.

[Eagle]

Hey Hazel can we have some new pis of the Delilah and April please?

 

[chandab]

Those puppies are too darn cute.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Here are new pics of Delilah and April. Not much change in Delilah still no bag.

April is due the 28th of May so we have a way to go with her. Bless her little heart she needs a bath. She has been rolling. She also has a lot more hair than Delilah.

 

[a mini dream come true]

I know they will both be beautiful. I am just praying for easy foaling and healthy babies. I'm feeling a little under the weather tonight so going to hit the bed early.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening!!! Nite all
