Thank you, both, very much. I love all three of my little boys, they are such characters. Junior and Monte are now sharing 1 cup foal feed 2x daily, they might eat a little more some days, but others they leave some, so I just stick with giving them a cup for now. [they go in a stall together at meal times to share their food.] Manny is still sharing with his mom.
 
gorgeous pics thanks Chanda, they seem to be doing really well

thats so good!
 
The boys are looking wonderful Chanda....gosh, they grow so fast.

How lucky you were to get such nice boys this year.

I hope your kitty is continuing to improve.

We lost our little Putter boy, on Wednesday. He had a convulsion?.

We only had him with us for 35 days but we are quite lost without him.

His Chevy dog keeps looking for him. We are sad.
 
So glad your little kitty is feeling a bit better. That's really good news!!
She was feeling better, then momma kitty hid her somewhere, and I've not been able to find her since the first day after momma hid her. The kitten is so wild that I couldn't catch her the day I found her, when I went back to try to catch her a day and a half later, she was gone. I hope she's ok, but we live in coyote country, as well as other wild creatures.

But, my two nuisance, barn kitties are still at the mini barn and they follow while I do my chores. Finally found a food they like and will eat after trying like 5 different foods. They decided they didn't like Kitten Chow, Nutrisource, Whiskas Kitten, 9-Lives (they will eat a little of this, sometimes) and no fishy canned food (well no canned food it seems). A friend of Mom's lost her cat and gave mom her food and litter, and Mom gave it to me; the food was Iams and the kittens love it, so at least they are eating and have a chance at gaining weight before winter. [Well, they loved it last night, and ate too much so threw up, hopefully that didn't turn them off htis food.]

Mom's cat disappearred earlier this week, she is just devastated. She's looked everywhere she can think to look, spoke to all her neighbors, put at ad up on the board at the grocery store, even put an ad on the radio (they ran it at least two days). So far, no luck finding him. I should have asked sooner, but if you guys would pray that he comes home or is found soon, that would be great (it would be awesome if he were found alive, but if she could just know that might help her). She said she doesn't want another kitty, its just too hard on her.

I don't have an adult pic of him, but here's a kitten pic:

He's gotten darker with age, and looks much like a Snowshoe cat, he's very beautiful.

Nancy, I'm so sorry you lost little Putter. They can certainly wrap us around their little paws, can't they?
 
I'll keep my fingers crossed that he comes home safe. So hard to lose them without any answers

Oh I'm so sorry for the lost kitties - thinking of you Nancy and saying prayers that your little kitty is safe somewhere Chanda and that your Mum's beautiful cat returns home soon.

Thank you. Last night, I dreamt her kitty came home; hope that dream comes true for her.
 
Not that I hadn't already assumed as much, but the vet was out today for other reasons, Honey is not pregnant, so it doesn't look like there will be any more babies this year. Next year isn't looking too promising either, as I haven't been able to catch Caddy in heat; the one time I thought she was she tried to kick Topper's teeth in. I guess its not a horrible thing if I go a year without foals, the mares are all pretty young and so is Topper, so plenty of time. If I can catch Caddy in Heat, I'll breed her, if not, I guess we skip a year. Since, Honey isn't bred, I doubt Showy is either, so Showy might get bred to Topper this year, yet, but since its getting a bit late in the season, I might just wait til next summer to try again. I don't know.
 
I take it that you "hand breed" rather than pasture breed? I've always been really successful just putting my girls with the stallions and let nature take it's course. Sorry that Honey isn't pregnant....I'm sure you're a bit sad about it. I know how we all look forward to foals! So in the meantime.....we need lots of pictures of the GORGEOUS babies you've had this year!! I'm in love with them all!!
I do both. At the moment, since Topper is young, exhuberant and a bit stupid, I'm hand breeding with him. I've done both pasture and Hand breeding with Che`, but he has troubles reaching his mares; hopefully he can reach Baybe, and she'll settle and foal next year. I'm sorry Honey isn't pregnant and she might not be able to again, we'll just have to wait and see what the vet results say is wrong, if they tell us anything.
 
Sorry to hear about Honey, but, as you say, it is now getting a bit late in the season to be looking at further coverings. I think I would be inclind to wait until next year and cover for earlier births.
 
Sorry to hear

At least you have 3 beautiful boys to keep you occupied

Thank you. And, yes I do. Almost time to start halter training them, just need to find my foal halters and if I can't I'll have to buy a couple.
 
OT - Got a little sewing done on the peach/green quilt today, very little; I sewed two pieces of the green border on, two more to go. Then, onto the peach border. Perhaps tomorrow, if the wind keeps up.
 
Green done, and two sides of the peach, two more to go and I'll see about a picture of what I have so far.
 
Top is done. I love it.

Now to layer the top, batting and backing; and decide how I'm going to quilt it.
