Ricky is doing great. I used some warm soaked wipes to clean his legs and get the dried blood off his incisions yesterday morning. I don't really see dripping or draining but his legs to have new stains when I check him so it must just be very very slow.

I gave him another big ball to play with to get him running around and it is working. We walked/trotted him a little yesterday and the ball did it's job last night lol

Ricky is 11 months old. The cost goes up after they are a yearling and so on.

Here are the photos from yesterday morning.

From under:

From behind:

Ricky is still not 'Ricky' but he is very close. He has not bitten since the day before the surgery but is starting to get some of that bratty behavior back. He doesn't run around the yard like he normally does and seems a little quiet for him but he seems to be doing very well other then that.

I have been reading through posts and will try to get caught up again this morning. We had a busy weekend and we leave for FL in less then 2 weeks (11 days... YAY!!) and I am trying to plan everything out so we don't get down there and just wing it and miss a lot. We only have 2 days at Disney World and I am finding it will be hard to get in what we want to without at least 1 more day. So excited though

Oops.. I meant to edit this into the last post. I posted Ricky's photos and such on the previous page.

How is your exercise going? are you a skinny girl yet

Remember that you need to keep a little fat to keep you warm

 

[MeganH]

I just finished day 15 and have lost a few pounds. The work out works your whole body and I want more for my stomach so I am going to have to add some different exercises every day. The work outs are killing my knees so I will add more ab stuff during those times. I lost a lot of weight right before and after my son (you can see if you look back on my facebook and even my wedding I was like a size 1) and I HATED being that skinny. I felt sick and was seriously too small so I don't ever want to get even close to that again. Gained lots during my 2nd pregnancy and kept it on so I am trying to lose a little and find where I am most comfortable now.

I am headed over to see your thread now, Renee, and look at the little puppies. I wish I was closer!!

 

[MeganH]

AHHHHH!!! I am so mad right now. I just caught the neighbors relative who comes to do their lawn spraying a commercial weed killer on my grass by my fence line!! They are reaching over the fence spraying the grass in between our fences and on MY fence line! I won't let my hubby spray the fences because that is one of Laney's and Ricky's favorite places to graze. I refrained from running out there and telling them to STOP because I was so angry and didn't want to get mouthy but I will definitely be telling the home owner to please tell them NEVER to do that again!

:arg! some people are just idiots :arg!

I have had to go twice to get Laney and Tinkerbelle away from that area.. the first time I swear I smelt it on Tink's breath

She had only been there a few seconds because I saw and ran as fast as I could but I hope she didn't actually get anything in her mouth. The woman was out there who had done it and I was so mad I turned my back and kept saying (very loudly) to Laney to get her baby away from the poison and shooed them away. The home owner is a sweet old widow and I know I can tell her.. and I will put up a sign where the woman was as well. I am boiling

And now nervous of course since I know Tink was exploring right there.

I took these photos earlier today.. (and yes we need to CUT the weeds- all THREE of the mowers are broken but my FIL thinks he can have his fixed and over here by the weekend. Thankfully the belt broke after cutting the front lol)

And Ricky got to spend a few moments with Tink before Laney decided he had had long enough.

Oh she is such a special little baby!!! Already growing soo fast I can't relieve it!! Hope you get it sorted with your eight ours, stupid people!!!

Ricky is doing good. Some swelling has gone down and I am going to get a little more dried blood off tonight I think. He isn't 100% yet because he wasn't running around like normal (it is a windy day and he normally has 4-5 good runs around the yard) but I did get him going on his lead and I have seen him playing with his big ball.

Here is a video from this morning of Tinkerbelle and Ricky. Ricky has dried mud on his face from him rolling his ball lol

Thank you so much for that video - she is just so gorgeous, bless her! And Ricky's head is amazing - so beautifully shaped, such a handsome fella!! Glad he seems to be recovering so well.

You will have an amazing time in Florida, you lucky things. What a fantastic experience for your kiddies too!

 

[MeganH]

Thank you Anna

I love Ricky's handsome face so much. His dad's was just like it and I love him too.. but Ricky is my boy

He is so calm and quiet with Tinkerbelle. He just smells and watches her and doesn't fuss or start acting up at all. Laney still will squeal at him (and I heard Ricky give a very little squeal back at Laney this morning when she bared her teeth at him lol) but I can't wait until she allows him to be out with them. Laney is very boring and just eats and does not run around at all.. so Tink just runs around alone and I am hoping her and Ricky will get a long and can run together eventually when she is bigger.

Laney.. the boring but WONDERFUL broodmare

Diane- Will I die if I wear long jeans to the parks? I don't own a pair of shorts (not ones that fit, at least) so this weekend we are going to go shop for the last few things we will need. I am not happy when I am very hot so I think it would be smart to pick up a few pairs. And we all have sunglasses but I can't find Cheyenne's so I will get her a pair too

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for sharing your babies Megan

They are all adorable

I went to Disney world years ago and had a fantastic time, I would love to go again with the kids, I just need to convince Sandro

 

[cassie]

the video of Tink and Ricky is just gorgeous, you are so lucky Megan to have such gorgeous minis!!!

hope you have a wonderful time in Florida... have never been to Disney world the closest that we have over here, is movie world, dream world and wet n wild LOL hope you take lots of piccies!!!

 

[MeganH]

Thank you

We are so blessed!

Here is Tinkerbelle today

 

[Eagle]

She sure knows how to strut her stuff

gorgeous!

 

[AnnaC]

Oh that first picture is fabulous - look at that trot, and you have caught her with all four feet off the ground!! Brilliant!!

 

[cassie]

just checked in on your precious mumma and her gorgeous girl

I'm thinking, when you get back Megan, it might be good to up laney's feed a little? she is looking like she has lost a little weight which is to be expected, but you dnt want her to lose to much condition, so cute Tink is lying down and Laney is standing protectively over her

so very very cute!!

just a suggestion, love your pics of FB looks like your having a great time!!

 

[MeganH]

Hey All!

We are coming home tomorrow. Had lots of fun- more Sea World today. It's been a favorite for all of us.

The internet here keeps going out and we can't seem to stay on more then a few minutes so I am trying to be quick!

I don't think they are feeding quite as much hay as I have been so that is why she is not looking so big. I'll feed back the way I normally did (I have them feeding out of buckets instead of the flakes cause they were all different sizes) I noticed she finishes her hay quick too.

I miss everyone and will have to catch up over the weekend once we are home. I miss my fur babies so much

 

[AnnaC]

Glad you have had a great time Megan!!

Safe journey home - we've missed you.
