Is that a tinny I see Suzie swigging

on and a burger off the barbie..shes having a lil boogie to i recon..go Suzie

 

she looks just fine Cassie no worries

4.30am and Suzie looking a bit restless at the moment. She just had a wee, so maybe that will help (always notice she wanders around a bit before having a pee or poo - just wish she would go back to doing her poo round the edges!!), or maybe she is feeling a bit peckish because she does seem to be searching for 'munchies' - well you know what she's like with her need for munching!

She keeps looking over her door - surely the local parties are over by now, so I presume she's got her timing wrong and is expecting breakfast to arrive. LOL!!

GO BACK TO SLEEP SUZIE!

 

[AnnaC]

Suzie still very restless - is she just feeling uncomfortable or have the cows escaped again?

Is anyone else watching? What do you think?

 

[Eagle]

yes, she hasn't been her usual self for several hours now. I wonder if the party upset her routine?

 

[AnnaC]

I dont like seeing her this stressed, something is obviously upsetting her. Do you think we should give Cassie a shout as there is a good while to go yet before she wakes up? Perhaps a visit from her Mum and a handful of hay would settle her - on the other hand if something IS wrong, not necessarily with Suzie, but outside somewhere, a visit from someone could put it right??

 

[AnnaC]

She is seriously worried about something - could one of the other horses be in trouble?

 

[Eagle]

o..k I am messaging Cassie now

 

[AnnaC]

Thank you Renee - I, in my usual stupid way, have lost Cassie's mobile number!

I'm sure Suzie is 'ok', as in not foaling, but she really is worried about something outside and that cant be good for her, bless her. It's been going on too long now.

 

[Eagle]

Cassie is off to check now, better safe than sorry

 

[AnnaC]

Thank you Renee, better to be safe than sorry.

Sorry Cassie, but Suz really has been stressed for the last few hours and that isn't good for her. Was there something going on?

 

[Eagle]

I see You have out her out, that will make her happy. What was upsetting her Cassie

 

[cassie]

6am n they have started the music pumping AGAIN!!!!!!!

grrr poor Suzie is going to faint from exaustion...

I have let her out early with her brekky n some hay so hopefully that settles her down, she can go up to Penny n Smartie then if she does get stressed,

at about 4am this morning, they had a HUGE bus! come n pick them up wait actually he bus came back another 2-3 times honking its horn turning round right in front of our shop, I was sure it was going to crash down our gates

the music stopped bout 3am after it got louder n louder... I still have the summer of 69 stuck in my head aghhhh!! lol

well I'm going to get a big more sleep lol

if you see her stressed in the paddock please let me kknow, I really hope Suzie stressing out this much won't hurt her,,, poor baby girl

Thanks Anna n Renee for msging me, you should have heard the welcome I got when she saw me LOL funny girl

talk soon, or if you head to bed soon Goodnight sweet dreams n thankyou

I'll try take some pics later once Suzie has settled down a bit

 

[AnnaC]

Golly Cassie, I never thought of it being your neighbours at that time of night (from not long before 4am until now)! All i could see ws poor Suz getting more and more worked up/concerned as time was passing - lots of poo piles and marching round and round. She's missed out on several hours of sleep, so we wont worry too much if she has a few long lay downs during the day!

Thank you again Renee, it was obviously the right thing to message Cassie, for poor Suzie's sake.

 

[Eagle]

Yes I agree Anna, thank you. I was a little distracted bc I had to feed and bath Alby so I am so glad you were watching her too.

Night night

 

[Lindi-loo]

Poor Suzie having such a stressfull night..shes at the bottom of the paddock atm telling the other ponies all about it

 

[AnnaC]

ps. Of course she was pleased to see you Cassie - she was waiting for you to rescue her. You are her Momma and she knows you will be there to help her when she's worried, upset or frightened. Suzie was not calling for food, she was saying how pleased she was that YOU had come when she needed you. She has given you her trust and that is such a special thing for an animal to do - you are very lucky!

Yes she will have days when she's grumpy and doesn't seem to want your company, there will be days when she wants her own time and space and resents your being there (possibly when her new baby arrives), but you now know that when she is in trouble or just wants some love and reassurance, it is you that she will turn too and, as I said, this is just so special. So give her her space, understand her feelings and offer her respect, these are the foundation stones to a true partnership and that is a wonderful, wonderful thing to have with one of God's very special creatures.

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Renee - great that you were there to pick up on my concerns - I was on the phone to Cathy while trying to type, listening to her waffling on about her lot over there! I'm sure she was getting fed up with me just answering her with a 'umm' 'yes' 'no' and trying to get her off the phone! LOL!!

I'm sure Suzie will be fine now, she seems to calm down when she has either Cassie around or can go over and share her troubles with her friends, bless her.

Am listening to the Last Night of the Proms at the moment - love the last night, makes me feel all patriotic!

Hope Alby wasn't too disappointed at being left behind and missing the fishing trip?

Sleep well, you too Lindy.

 

[AnnaC]

Suzie now standing sleeping, bless her. She must be pretty tired poor girl.
