Both ladies are playing statue again.

Now its time for Coffee (lots of it) and brown bread and blackcurrant jam - Yum

Sox is down having another little rest and Toffee looks to be hoovering

 

[bannerminis]

Sox gone flat out so a bit of beep beep beeping going on now me thinks LOL

 

[bannerminis]

Ok so nothing too exciting going on right now as the ladies are probably waiting for brekkie time.

I have to go do a few jobs now so I am signing off for the next hr or two. Will check in as soon as I can

Thanks Karina, I was so pleased this morning when I read that you were here to watch the girls

6.44am I am back and I didn't miss anything

Thank you all for the watching and reporting. Toffee kept us awake a LOT setting of the pager, but I am afraid (again) that Sox is NOT setting it off. We tested it again before we went to bed too. I think we will have to put the Foal Buzzer on her whether she wants it or not. That did work, but of course bothers everyone within range! You can also hear all the stable sounds over the baby monitor and I remember finding out that our horses play (noisily!!) with their stall toys in the night!!

I think if/when I get real "sticky milk" from Sox i will just stay up until she foals. I wish Stephanie wasn't off for the next two days!!!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Silly girls! Up and down all night for you!

 

[targetsmom]

Equipage crisis: It just started going off this morning while I was cleaning stalls and BOTH mares are eating quietly - standing!! - nowhere near a fence to rub on, and everything was tested in the last 24 hours!!! New batteries in everything this week, battery in the "box" was disconnected long ago. And of course, mares could foal any time. Toffee was rolling up a storm earlier but has been quiet for some time before the pager started.

Anyone have any ideas??? I only have ONE Foal Buzzer for backup!!!!

 

[Eagle]

Calm down Mary, WE can do this

Everyone will post Cam times that they are available to watch during the night so you rest, you will just have to take a chair and watch them during their "playtime" it will only be for a few days so it isn't the end of the world. Cassie, Karina and I will take turns during the night and I am sure Diane will be watching most of the time too especially now that she has Mr Wags to keep her company. See!!! all will be well and "We" will have 2 more healthy babies on the ground.

hugs from afar

Thank you Renee & Diane!! I thought I might also post on Mare Stare asking for eyes to watch for such a short time. I figure I will contact Kee-Port, but there isn't time to get any replacement "parts" here. At least I don't think there is. If only ONE mare would foal then I think Toffee's transmitter works, so we would be OK.

Yes, we take chairs or sit on our deck and watch them during the day. Or do it while cleaning stalls on Stephanie's day off.

 

[cassie]

Yes I will definitely be here for the early night shift tomorrow I will let you know when I log on at work

I finish early on Thursday's but as it will be ringing I will be inside studying lol yuck but at least I will be around to watch as closely as possible n nothing planned for tomorrow night so I'll be able to watch later as well

right now though my pillow is calling me!! Its midnight way past my bed time good night all

safe foaling Mary n we are here for you

 

[bannerminis]

You can count me in for some marestare again.

Definitely from 7am my time which is 2am your time and I am good till 11 - 11.30 my time so 6am - 6.30 am your time.

 

[Eagle]

Yep I will be here from 2.30-3.00am for the rest of the night so if we can get Diane and Cassie to cover first the girls will be safe

Contact Ken at Kee-Port if you haven't. Get his thoughts on it. I have no idea what the problem is with new batteries in the transmitters and pager. And the disconnected battery in the receiver. I do find Duracell batteries work best. And you are sure you have the transmitters in the pouches facing correctly? Hope you can get it resolved today!

 

[Sandy B]

Ken has been awesome at Kee-port. Call him and tell him you are having an issue and he will call you right back. There were two numbers I called when I had issues, and I believe one is Ken's personal cell or line and one was an office line. They over-nighted me a whole new system when mine failed on their dime. Of course it was only 3 weeks old, so it was definitely under warranty. Just make sure you have the transmitters put properly in their pouches. Maybe something was up with the antenna?

It does sound like the wonderful "foal patrol" ladies have you covered though at night!!
