On Target Miniatures - foal updates December 2014

[Eagle]

Why is it going off if she isn't flat out?? I agree that Dancer is more active than normal but nothing that shouts BABY

 

[Eagle]

I have to go to the Lawyer in 10 mins Mary Sorry

I am not sure why it keeps going off.... it is not working right that is for sure. Went off twice in the last 5 minutes.

Poor you, you must be worn out. Is anyone on MS watching? I have to go out now.

 

[targetsmom]

I just posted an update on MS where no one is watching I am sure. We are "up" now but could fall asleep again, which I did once or twice already, with pager off and my glasses on.

Bummer that the alarm keeps going off! That's got to be so stressful... For once, it should go off because she's blessing you with a BIRTHDAY PRESENT! Thank heavens Peter's cast is off just in case. I pray that he gets to just watch!

Well, this morning I swapped transmitters with the one from Toffee that I wasn't using, so we'll see if that helps. First thing I noticed is that this one works in our sand ring (part of the turnout area) where the other one didn't. Taking a nap after lunch before I do stalls....

Tonight I should be able to give you a few hours sleep Mary, what would you prefer, 12.30 - 3.00 am or 3.00 - 6.00 am? maybe Cassie will be around too, if she is she can do the early hours probably. Just let me know.

 

[targetsmom]

Any time is great!!! Just let me know. You Auntie's are wonderful!!!

 

[Eagle]

ok I will post later and let you know

Photo update:First 3 are Dancer, last 2 are Toffee. Dancer's udder from 3/25 and today (4/10): then back view to show where baby is riding. Then Toffee front view - Now, Dancer NEVER looked as wide as Toffee does today! Last one is Toffee's udder from Monday 4/8. She has a way to go which is why we took her alarm off. Comments??

ETA: view of Toffee also shows area just out of range of outside camera where they poop and pee! There is a gate right where I am standing that opens into a small turnout where they stand in the sun in the morning.

It looks like Dancer is coming along nicely

Can you take a profile pic of her tummy too when you get time please. Toffee looks like she has a while to go, how many days did she foal at last year Mary?

If it is ok with you I will be watching from 1.00 am until 3.00 am then I will be away until about 5.00 am, after that I will be here until you wake.

I will try to get another pic of Dancer. Toffee foaled at (I think) 246 days last year and is only at 220 days today, so she should have awhile to go. Her progress last year was slow and steady. I am pretty sure Dancer will go first.

 

[Eagle]

Judging by Toffee's pics I would say 2 weeks it right on track

Side view - grooming one is from March 4, other one is today (4/10).

 

Just a perfect maidein -- tucked up tight!!!

Looks like everything is progressing right on time...AND track! So excited to see these babies this year!!!

 

[Eagle]

Yep just perfect! Thanks Mary

They are both looking great Mary. That's a nice little maidenly tummy pod on your pretty Dancer.

How her 'alarm' working now?

 

[targetsmom]

Eagle- Watching 1-3 AM will be much appreciated as that seems to be the time when she is most restless. We might get some sleep - on the other hand foaling tonight would be good too!! We wake up around 5 AM anyway. I am about to take a nap while Gary gets my birthday dinner - since we can't very well go out.

I think this alarm is working better than the other one - or maybe it is because it has been off for awhile. It is back on now.

 

[Eagle]

Do you want me to post here or text you when I wake up so you can switch EVERYTHING off and get a few hours good sleep?

Oh and my name is Renee
