Laney (*filly* 4/10-Tinkerbelle) *New pics pg 187*

[MeganH]

Cissy is back and she was so glad to see us

I know she can hear Bella calling so I hope she calls back and gets Bella to come down.

Laney is smart and does NOT like to be stalled anymore so we have to herd her in and I hate doing it because I don't want Tinkerbelle to be nervous or scared but Laney tries herding her away and causes the ruckus. We always give Tink lots of scratches and tell her her mom is a little off so not to follow her lead lol

 

[cassie]

glad that Cissy is back.

wow sounds like everything is happening at your house at the moment

good on you

have you got a mineral block? I know Finn loved licking the ground and anything else till I got them a mineral block...it doesn't hurt them, and she might enjoy it

how is Ricky going? when is the vet coming?

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Glad your Kitties are safe now.

More good news. (TWO things actually)

1- Bella is no longer in the tree. Both her and Cissy must be exploring the woods or something near by. They ate all the food in their bowls last night and used the litter.

2- Vet came and confirmed Ricky is ready to be gelded!!! They will most likely come back next week to do the surgery!! I am so excited

He bites almost every day at this point and once he is gelded I will get back to training him and working with him on his show stance so we can get him out to show soon!

I will have to get out and take new pictures today. Tinkerbelle does like to explore and will follow you around in her pen sometimes. I think she will end up being a pocket pet. I hope to show her some too.

That is wonderful news about the kitties Megan

Whilst I am sitting here reading about your workout I am stuffing chocolate biscuits and feeling ashamed

You are an inspiration girl!!!!

Can you pass a message on to Ricky for me please?

Ricky I suggest you

 

[bannerminis]

So delighted that your puddy tats came back. Once they have finished exploring they will probably hang round more.

Yay for Rickey's gelding party (although he may not think so LOL)

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Lol lol rofl! That pic is hilarious! Ornery Ricky

 

[Eagle]

OMG ROFL

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Mind you I dont blame him - he's obviously been listening to the conversation when the vet visited!!

So glad the kitties are both now safe and sound - they will probably stick round now they have finished with the tree climbing and neighbourhood exploration.

Megan, do you have a problem getting Laney to leave the big pasture or just when you are trying to stall her. I would sugget that Tink is now ready to have the stall left open for the night and you can return to leaving her and Laney loose to roam their night pen. I think Laney is very happy to use her stall when she wants to eat her hay and this will give Tink plenty of time to have a snooze on the dry comfortable bedding. It will make Laney much happier!

Well done you for the new exercise routine - do be careful not to overdo it to start with please.

 

[MeganH]

LOL Ricky stood like that for several seconds.. he is too funny.

Here is Bella

She was out exploring this afternoon while I was out with Tinkerbelle.

And here are some pictures of Tink from today. She is a week old!

more to follow...

 

[MeganH]

And poor Ricky wanting to join the party.. but he wasn't invited yet.

Last night was going to be the last night I stalled them but tonight we are expecting rain so I think tonight will be the last time. Laney comes in happily from the bigger pasture because it is dinner time when she goes in but she does not like to be stalled anymore. We have to herd her in. I am checking the weather again before bed to see what we will do with them.

Tink gave me a little buck today when I was scratching her. I have a video I may share. You have to ignore me though I talk to my animals and sometimes I talk silly to them so I sound like an idiot

YAY for your kitties coming back!! YAY for vet giving the all good for Ricky's gelding!! I'm still hoping I can get the weight off Finn and get him done soon... fingers crossed!!

hehe those pics were adorable Megan THANKYOU!!!

she is so beautiful! she sounds exactly like Finn, and he is the biggest gentleman now! he doesn't even bite me and just comes trotting up for scratches hugs and kisses! the best kind of foal!! I'm so excited that she is so good for you!

I bet you will do well with her in the show ring! Laney has done a VERY good job for you!

about the talking to your animals hehe I do it ALL the time!! I took a video the other day of Finn being silly and watched it and then realised I talked the whole way through it and I sounded so silly LOL you know how we hate our recorded voices LOL so I didn't share.

But I see you have shared yours so I will check it out once I finish work. can't now as we have people in the office LOL

you are very blessed Megan!

 

[cassie]

hehe I got to watch the video (the other office girl went to lunch hehe ) naw thats so sweet! lol

she is absoloutly gorgeous! LOVE her blue eye! she is just beautiful!

 

[MeganH]

Thanks Diane and Cassie

Ricky is so cute. He takes his morning naps by Laney and Tinkerbelle's pen. I can't wait til he will be allowed out with them.

I chipped a tooth this morning and have to go to the dentist.

Think it will be a crown since it was a tooth already with a filling. I hate going to the dentist now

They struck a nerve with the Novocain injection a few years back and it was horrible pain/shock and my chin was numb and tingly for months. I hope this appointment goes well. They aren't working tomorrow so I have to wait til Monday. My teeth are awful after 2 pregnancies

I wish I could get all new teeth lol

Both kitties were together last night when I checked Laney before bed

Haven't seen them today but so glad to see them together!

 

[bannerminis]

I hate going to the dentist and really need to go again for a teeth cleaning and get the once over. My teeth also took a beating after 4 pregnancys and I keep getting a recurring gum infection.

Glad to hear the kitties came back and I am sure once the have finished exporing they will hang around more.

 

[Eagle]

Megan your furry family is adorable and thanks for sharing the video, I just love her dainty little head

Ricky will always be number 1 though

 

[MeganH]

I feel so bad for Ricky. He naps up by Laney's pen when he is out in the big pasture and when he can't see them when they are out he calls for them over and over again.

I need some advice!!

Ricky seems like he is getting bigger again recently. I let him graze about 5 hours a day, give him Omolene 300 am and pm, and I'm weaning him off hay at night. I let him have a little hay each night but he seems to have gained weight recently as the grass is growing back in. His weight drives me crazy! I am wondering if I need to cut back on the amount of time he is on grass or switch to a different feed. The 300 is 16% protein and we feed the recommended amount. the back of his neck (at the root of the mane) feels a little fatty and spongy.. is that normal? I don't feel like it has always been this way and I think it may be him getting FAT.

 

[cassie]

oh I hate the dentist too, but I have to go every year LOL I have a fake front tooth from a scooter accident LOL and we have to check it lol and my other teeth. when I had my wisdom teeth and two molars removed 2 years ago the surgeon struck a nerve and half my chin is still numb and tingly LOL very strange feeling... he reckons I should get the feeling back... I'm not convinced.

weight advice LOL I don't think I should be offering any hehe sorry. maybe you need to start working him? just a suggestion... lol maybe cut down on the hard feed? he might not need as high protein now that he is getting older? lol just throwing ideas out there until the girls get on here hehe, I'm sure you'll work it out Megan you are such a great mum to all your family

I know you will work it out.

 

[cassie]

well said Diane

I wish you had grass there too.... I don't think I could handle not having grass... I love seeing our green lawns and paddocks

especially after the wet summer we have had...
