On Target Miniatures - foal updates December 2014

[targetsmom]

Update and a question: Finally received the replacement transmitter so now BOTH mares will be keeping us awake when they lie flat.

Question: Is there an odor associated with the mucous plug? When I went out to check Toffee in the wee hours of this morning, I swore it smelled like she just foaled - the distinctive odor of the amnionic fluids, etc. Since she hadn't just foaled, any idea what this could be? Other than my hallucinations???? Of course I didn't check under her tail....I just went back to bed. And the odor seemed to be coming from her stall, not Dancer's.

Will update later with milk pHs.

 

Never noticed a smell like that before. So, it will be interesting to see if you still sense it later!

I hope you can get a good solid 5 hours sleep -- turn off the "chimes" and let the girls call you!

I'm here ready and watching

I'll be here at work for the next 6 hours and I don't have youth group tonight, so once I've fed the horses I'll just be studying so I can watch then also

So as Diane said turn of the chimes

and grab some sleep. I have your number in my phone ready and I will alert MS if I can't watch for whatever reason (there shouldn't be any lol)

Thank you Cassie!!! Bedtime update: Dancer has some loose poop in her stall but nowhere near "cow-pies". Milk pH=6.8, udder still feels full and tight.

ToffeeH=around 7.0 so seems to be dropping slowly. I wonder if Dancer is waiting for Toffee to go first??

 

[cassie]

good progress

Now sleepy time for you Miss Mary

the girls have been very quiet so far tonight... hopefulyl they will let you sleep

or even better they will foal and then you can sleep all you like!

Morning Renee

come join the party

lol more like

my brother and I have been invited out to an Aussie party tonight (no reason for it other then to wear our flannys jeans and ugg boots and have a bonfire LOL so we may go to that yet... really have to do some more studying so not sure if I'll go or not, if I don't go I'll be here watching and studying.

 

[Eagle]

Ooohh Ugg boots, you lucky thing. Mine are worn out but they are so expensive here I can't afford a new pair

maybe I should come and visit you ? ROFL

 

[cassie]

you should indeed

a trip to Australia to get Ugg boots is definitley worth it LOL

depending where you get them from here some are really cheap and some are more expensive...

how much are they for you over there?

 

[Eagle]

Here they are about 200 euro, what about there?

 

[cassie]

wow ok thats $252.60 australian....

the proper UGG brand I can get on special at the moment, do you like the really tall ones or the medium ones?

I can get the medium ones at the moment for $99 and the talls ones for $139 (this sale ends on monday)

um euro 78.28 for medium 109.91 for tall then there are other brands that sell them as well my ones cost me $40 aus target have them for about $50 aus at the moment...

I don't know what shipping would be like to Italy but if you wanted me to get you some I would be happy to

sorry to take over your thread Mary lol

your girls are both quietly standing not doing anything

I hope you are getting a lovely sleep

 

[Eagle]

Wow that is much cheaper, I think shipping would be expensive though. I like the shorter ones.

 

[cassie]

Dancer just gone down sternal

the cheapest for postae is $62.90 so yeah pretty expensive (thats by sea mail lol)

 

[Eagle]

Maybe you could come here and visit me

 

[cassie]

don't tempt me Renee or I'll do it!

[Eagle]
