On Target Miniatures - foal updates December 2014

[targetsmom]

I would love to test Dancer's milk but so far have been unable to get any. With Toffee, only took one try..I guess that is not uncommon with maidens?? Or is it something else?

 

Nope -- perfectly normal! Those maidens hold their milk as up high as they do their babies! No worries!

Looks like Toffee has a bit more filling to do, and baby is still a bit lopsided, so she's perfectly on schedule!

I watch too when I'm home -- and if there is something special happening....then I cheat at work and watch as much as I can without anyone seeing me do it! The girls are TOOOO important to me to let anyone say I "can't" !!

Morning Cassie - I seem to be following you around! LOL!!

As it is only a few minutes since Cassie posted, nothing has changed with you girls Mary, but I see from our early news that Boston will soon be back to normal. Congrats to your police.

5.40 am and both girls are standing quietly.

I haven't heard on the news how they know that these two were guilty? Anyone know?

 

[targetsmom]

Hi - thanks for the reports.

They ID's them from surveillance videos, then the suspects carjacked someone and admitted they were the bombers... They let him go, kept the car and the police had a shoot out with both suspects. One was killed in that shoot-out - he was wearing a bomb. Not much doubt. Other one was shot and wounded - he is the one they found last night. That one is also the one that went to college and lived in the same dorm as someone I know (who has minis of course!). They will be treated like any other suspected criminal in the US, not as war criminals - at least that is what we heard.

Thanks Mary, I am so glad they caught them so quick. The news here in Italy is a bit useless

 

[Gone_Riding]

Thank you for the update, Mary.

How are the girls doing?

 

[targetsmom]

No real change from yesterday - Dancer is still scratching and rubbing her butt whenever she can, doing some rolling, and acting like she wants to get this over with. Toffee is gaining on her....We have a 4-H meeting this afternoon so could be "strange" activity on cams. Too bad we don't have a cam on the backyard where they will be jumping and ground driving.

 

[cassie]

Dancer is really uncomfy at the moment... was just pawing hte ground, had her head down, one yawn weight shifting, moving around a fair bit... now she is standing uncomfortablly.

 

[targetsmom]

she has not gone down flat at all tonight... maybe she will be like Sox: stand around, go down and foal!

 

[Eagle]

5.25 am and the girls are stood quietly

Update - more to follow later: Dancer never set the alarm off last night ans I am pretty sure it is working so that measn she never went down flat after lying flat every couple of hours every night for at least a week.

Toffee seems to be catching up fast and I will take a pH of her milk after breakfast. One will have to wear the old Foaling Buzzer buzzer tonight and I just realized it will have to be Dancer because Toffee would FREAK with that thing next to her ears.....

Thanks for the update Mary, I was watching Missy foal so I am answering late

I had them up most of the night and I didn't see her down but I did get on a bit late as I over slept

Sunday mornings are hard for me as I don't sleep much in the week

I am looking forward to hearing about Toffees milk.

 

[Becky]

Sounds like there will soon be a foaling frenzy at On Target!

 

[targetsmom]

I was checking on Missy during the night and just missed her foaling!! See the foal now.

BTW, Toffee's milk is at pH 7.8 so I think we still have a wait.

 

[Eagle]

ok, well the weekend is nearly over for me so I will be back to my weekly duties tonight Mary

 

[cassie]

I will be the same as Renee!! Oh Renee you should have msgd me that missy was foaling

I was watching a movie with Russell. Have to go check on the new baby before I finally get some sleep lol it's midnight here way past my bed time!

I didn't see dancer down at all while I was watching on and off today

 

[Eagle]

Cassie I barely had time to think, she just dropped and foaled. I was in total panic cos I couldn't dial quick enough. Lol
