On Target Miniatures - foal updates December 2014

[targetsmom]

If the rain gets too bad it will flood the area where they are sleeping (except Sox is in the stall now). so I guess it isn't bad yet. Actually I don't hear the rain yet, not like I did the other night, whenever that was....

All is quiet at 2.00am all the girls are down sternal apart from Dancer

I am signing off now Mary as I have some erands to run. Dancer seemed more active tonight so I am looking forward to an update with some new pics maybe

Did you have a good Birthday?

 

[targetsmom]

I had a good night's sleep last night!!! Dancer only woke me twice all night....wonder if that means something? Well she has to be getting closer because another day went by. Anyone watching now, there is a mare missing as the 3 mares escaped and only 2 came back. Sox is on the front lawn until I eat breakfast. She can't go anywhere.

Is Sox the one missing? Or should we be worried?

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Mary - great excitement in your camp! Looking at the time I guessed it must be teatime for the inmates - lots of stamping and pawing the ground from everyone. Then clouds of hay appearing from the sky above and lots of little jaws working frantically before all was peace again!!

When I first checked in Dancer was pawing the ground like mad - oooooooo I thought, she looks 'interesting', but no, it was just food anticipation. LOL!!

I meant to ask you how your injuries were doing, are you more or less back to normal now - I hope so.

 

[targetsmom]

Anna- thanks for asking about the injuries. I am pretty much back to normal except the eye is still pretty black. It doesn't hurt but one of the 4-Her's grandparents noticed it last night where he hadn't noticed it before. I think it is because a lot of the black was hidden by my glasses but as gravity moves the bruising lower, it is more obvious. My right hand feels good enough that I think I could deliver a foal now if I had to, where last week just the thought of it was painful.

BTW, Sox seemed to feel that being on the front lawn was a good trade-off for missing her morning grain. The grass has to be very tempting after all the rain this week.

Renee already knows this, but just a hint in case this forum goes down again overnight, that we are on Mare Stare. .I am also on FB.. it seems I have people watching and posting in both places but of course, I am not allowed to post links here.

It seems Dancer never laid out flat last night so the alarm never went off, but this morning she was circling, pawing, rolling and flemming. Now she just looks miserable and is where I can keep a close eye on her and the alarm should work.

I love your hay drop and watching the hay fall. I'm glad you're feeling better and I can't wait for a new baby!!!

 

[targetsmom]

LOL Sara - the hay drops are probably why we have to keep dusting the cameras off as the view gets fuzzy!!

 

Glad you are better Mary. I've been away all weekend, but tried to get on the forum between running between 2 towns an hour apart for babysitting grandchildren for the past 3 days, and notified Debby that the forum was down again. She didn't know it, but I think she got it fixed as quickly as possible. It has something to do with the server for the forums -- and hopefully it won't happen again!!

So glad your hand is better!

 

[targetsmom]

Missed you Diane - glad to see you back!

Mares were rearranged tonight as Toffee was put into her foaling stall. Mira was moved to the run-in area outside Dancer's stall to be with her buddy Cowboy so will be off cam (unless she tries to steal Dancer's hay through the stall screen, which she might!). Sox is still in the area right outside Toffee's stall to keep her company so she will remain on cam.

 

I appreciate you saying that Mary. I truly MISS everyone here and all that we have going on. I love babysitting the grandchildren, but not having computer access was the pits!

Little after 12. Toffee down sternally. Sox down sternally, Dancer sleeping in corner. I can see Mira staring at Dancer.

All quiet.

 

[Eagle]

[Eagle]

[AnnaC]

Morning ladies! 2.25am and Dancer still down sternal - good girl, getting some rest before the big event?? Cant see the others very clearly - do you need to wipe Toffee's screen Mary or is it my laptop beig funny again!

 

[cassie]
