Marlanoc Round Four!

[countrymini]

Cant wait for your photos!

 

Me either!!

 

[Wings]

Those eyes will be the death of me... no idea how I'll ever tell him off for anything if he looks at me like that!

I'm also forcing some of the family to learn my fav dachie song

:rofl

Because it wouldn't be ME without a little bit of lunacy thrown in

 

GREAT video!!!

And we're all quite happy with your lunacy....we wouldn't have you any other way!!

 

[AnnaC]

So, does he have a name??

 

[Wings]

Took awhile to settle on one but I've decided he wants to be called Hansel

 

[Wings]

And before Hansel upstages us for any longer here are some young Magni pictures

I've got another visit this weekend!

 

[countrymini]

What a cute little man he was! How many days till you get to bring him home?

 

[Wings]

Magni or Hansel? I have two beautiful BLUE boys to plan for now

:wub

Hansel is ready in about 6 weeks, so that's 6 weeks of puppy proofing and finishing the dog yard!

 

[AnnaC]

Magni was such a good looking youngster, no wonder he's such a handsome lad now!! And Hansel is a great name for that cute little chap!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Anna right...Magni=handsome!!! Before and After!!

And that little puppy is just too cute for words....the eyes have ya for sure with that one!!!

 

[Wings]

Thanks guys, I'll have to get a hold of some BABY Magni pictures

Very windy and gross today so the mares have tucked themselves down by the tree. If it clears up I'll go out with the camera later!

 

[lexischase]

Always love seeing photos of Magni, and I want to steal little Hansel! So adorable!

 

Magni is gorgeous -- and certainly carried that beauty into his maturity!! Hansel is so cute!

 

[Wings]

Ok so it's STILL super windy and gross... I might brave it later in the arvo to get photos before I vanish for a few days. IF the mares co-operate!

Belle has been super cranky the last week or two, possibly hormones? I hope so, she's the one I'm still on the fence about!

 

[countrymini]

She's probably just being mean to get your hopes up

I thought maybe Bindi might've been surprising us and giving birth this morning. I saw her lie down and thought she'd gone to sleep then after a while her legs started kicking and jolting a bit like mares in labour. Watched her for a moment then went out to make sure she was ok and she sat up like a bolt and looked around. Just a nightmare, obviously a plastic bag or something just as ruthless chasing her down.

 

[Wings]

What a mean Bindi!

:rofl

I really need to get new pics of the mares, Ashanti is growing a LOVELY baby belly now

But for now here is a picture of Magni and I going a viking. No wonder the neighbourhood mean dog ran away at the sight of us

 

[Wings]

The mares came up to spy on some of the work that's going on so I ran out with the camera

Please excuse how gross they look, I didn't do my traditional mane/tail trim before I turned them out for winter and I'm paying for it now. Oops! Plus the coats are beginning to shift and most of them are due for farrier in August, we leave the girls as late as we can so we don't have to touch up their feet again until they have bubs on the ground.

Rivain (due mid September onwards)





Twinkles (due mid September onwards)





Ashanti (due October onwards)

I wasn't sure about her awhile ago but I've changed my mind

Belle (due October onwards)

Still not sure about the Bellephant. The way she is carrying her weight makes me think she might be but a lot of her size still looks like it could be non baby weight. We did make progress on slimming her down last season but yeah, lots of fence sitting from me on this one!





Kalari (due December)

She's well behind the others but I think we might be seeing a baby bump

 

[chandab]

Lovely mares.

 

[Wings]

They certainly think so

No idea what they'd do to me if they found out how much of their thread has been about Magni!
