[cassie]

hey Amanda

how is little Solomon going? love seeing him on cam he is just tooo cute!!! can we get some new piccies of him please?

when is your next mare due and how is she going?

Here is a link to Solomon meeting my Great Pyrenees puppy. The dog is only 7 months old and has never seen a foal before, amazing how she knows to be so gentle and calm around him. Love this breed of dog, I think I will always have one.

And some other nice pics of Sol out getting some exercise.



Nellie is at day 304 today and i'm getting the cams set up for her and Ladybug now. Ladybug is at day 288. Nellie usually goes over 330 and LB like to foal at 320. So a few weeks yet to go on them I think.

Hey all update on the other two mares. Nellie is at day 305 today, usually foals around day 330, no udder and still round as a barrel. Ladybug has started her udder and is at day 291. She usually goes around 315 or so. So it seems that they both may foal around the same time in a few weeks. Ladybug's baby dropped today, but I can't imagein that he'll stay that way. She was round and fat yesterday and today I was scared she lost the foal, but nope it is in there hanging LOW. These pics are of Ladybug, since Nelly is just big and fat with no udder to speak of. The white stuff all over her is snow, we had quite a bit of it yesterday.

Thanks for the update Amanda, I bet you aree enjoying your time off before the night shifts start again

Give Solomon a big hug from me.

 

[weerunner]

You're right about that Cassie. Sleeping straight through the night for the next few weeks, at least until someone starts a serious udder or milk.

 

[cassie]

ladybug is looking great! nice udder already

won't be long now

 

[weerunner]

Hey all, Nellie has begun her udder! NOthing terribly exciting but she usually waits till close to foaling time, so this is exciting for me.

Here is her udder at day 303

and today at day 308



Lot's of time for more development, but nice to see her thinking about it anyways.

Ladybug's udder is about the same and baby is still in the dropped position. I figure it will probably move back, but who knows.

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone.

 

[AnnaC]

Once properly dropped, babies very rarely move again! And looking at your pictures of LB's udder at 291 days, I would be keeping a close eye on her from now on. I do know that the camera can lie/give a false impression, but comparing LB's udder at 291 with Nellie's at 308 days, I would say that, together with the dropped tummy, LB is well ahead of Nellie in the foaling stakes!!??

Looking forward to another update (and more pics??) in a few days.

 

[cassie]

yay for progress from both girls! Solomon will have some friends before long woohoo!

trying to get cam up but its not coming up

how is little Solomon doing? can we see some more piccies please?

 

[weerunner]

Sorry, my Great Pyrenees chewed the video cable going into the barn last night. ARGH!! I'm going to try to repair it today. NOt good timing dog! Oh well, they are a not real close right now. I'll get it fixed as soon as possible.





Dont know if I've posted these ones of Sol yet, but here is Solomon getting a little outdoor time. Sure wish the weather would get warmer soon.

 

[cassie]

[Eagle]

[AnnaC]

Oh my - he's just so huggable!!
