Peanut does not like her stall neighbor looking at her Cameron. She just shot across her stall with her ears pinned to get her neighbor to look away.

Now Cameron is up and nursing

Hi Everyone, Im sorry i havent been around much...just busy getting things back to semi normal schedules around here. Still battling ups and downs w/Quahog suprisingly great one day and hardly move the next. my niece and nephew visiting from Ma. before they start college in a couple weeks. Its been great b/c they both love animals and are just really great kids. i'll miss them when they leave on Thurs. Im almost afraid cam is growing too fast...he is huge and is such a joy to be with. Im in shock at how fast he is growing...hes no longer this fragile little boy that I thought would simply break in half if he fell over. Peanut is still in Mommy mode most of the time but she is letting him wander to the fence line unattended to meet the others. Cam and PN go in the big horse pen a couple times a day by themselves and Cam tears around at full speed taking up the whole pasture must to my delight...even leaping over the tall grass. He takes great joy in getting in Moms food pan and laying down as soon as I put in her feed. She gently nudges him aside to get her pellets but after a few minutes of struggling to get her food she boots him right out by picking up a corner of the pan and dumping him out. Hes eatting a few pellets now so I do give mom a little extra and next week may start giving him his own big boy dish. Hes manages to get a little weepy eye last night or this am..the alfalfa from TS is very fine little pieces and Im thinking he may have got some hay dust in one eye so will have to squirt a little water rinse to to if it helps....sure that will go over big!! Still real hot in the mid afternoon so they are both still in during mid day but for the most part Cam runs at such whirlwind speed most of the AM he falls fast asleep once hes returned to the stall anyway! starting back to work next week so its somewhat bitter sweet but I am actually looking forward to it....well maybe not too much...just a little. Hope all is well with everyone. Later

Hi Heidi,

Wanted to pop in and say HI to you and the crew.

I am feeling better and getting out into the barn

more. Feels wonderful to be almost healthy again.

I love watching Peanut and Cam when I can catch them in their bedroom.

Cam is so handsome and Peanut is a such a good Mom.

Hope Skiff is feeling well.

I'm so glad to hear Quahog is fighting the good fight.

Zaky did that silly eye thing on Saturday. Think it was just dust or

hay chaffe. I put a Earl Grey tea bag on it and by afternoon he was

fine and it hasn't come back. Thank goodness.

Sending cyber {{HUGS}} to all.

He got his feet trimmed again today. Wasn't quite as good as the 1st time.

He's gotten a lot stronger and boy is he growing. He'll be 2 months on Thursday.

hi Nancy, Im glad to hear your finally starting to feel better, geeze that was a long time to be sick. Ive actually had a pretty healthy summer so far...wheres the wood..knock knock..thank heavens! Little Quahog has been a trooper. Not out at the barn much any more but still manages to surprise me w/other things that I never would have thought he could still be doing in the house.his weight is still going down and i suspect that he has a fair amt. of blood in his belly and just no room for food. Hes not ready yet so thats just fine by us.

So Zaky manages to get watery eye too...Cams seemed to clear up by morning so I have no idea what caused it..no junky stuff just simpy watery eye so Im thinking hay or some dirt too.

Well my niece and nephew are here visiting before they start school next week..they leave today and luckily Cameron ( my nephews name too ) helped w/posting and taking a few pictures. Molly likes to take PN on morning walks around the property about 15 acres and Cam just chases and follows at full speed.

NOTE

It has taken me a few minutes to get these pictures on here but just got a call from Quahogs vet...they saw him on the camera ( theve been watching at their office little Cam) said they saw Quahog yesterday on camera and were surprised at how well he still looks and want to try draining his stomach again..not a forever fix but might help give him alittle more time..they want me to bring him in this afternoon so they can see him in person and evaluate him.....

maybe he will be able to eat alittle more....oh Im so excited !! have to go call my husband...wish us luck and i hope you enjoy Cams pictures ..will post more later

 

[MeganH]

LOOK AT CAMERON!!!

He is just adorable! Love both of those pictures, Heidi! Thank you (and your nephew) SO MUCH for posting them!! You can tell Cam has lots of personality.

Good luck at the vets with Quahog.

(wish they had a hug icon.. would have inserted it there!)

 

[New mini]

Thanks for the pictures of Cam. I usually just see him when he is sleeping now. What a handsome boy. He has really grown.

Good luck with Quahog(sp) this afternoon Hopefull the vets can make him more comfortable for awhile longer yet. They do let you know when they are ready don't they Hugs to all

Wonderful photos of Cam.

Hope Quahog does well at the vets, today.

 

[jessj]

Oh Cam....you are such a handsome boy!!!

Wishing Quahog the best!

 

[Eagle]

Heidi next time you have a foal I insist that your nephew moves in with you too keep us posted with photos. He is quite the photographer

cam looks just adorable and so grown up.

I am sending hugs and positive thoughts for you and Quahog today.

 

[REO]

Congrats on Quahog winning the CMHR dog show for most handsome boy!

Let us know how his appt went. Sending more prayers to him!

 

[cassie]

love the pics of Cam Heidi!! look at those legs go!!

SO GLAD that quahog is still fighting! go boy go!! we all love you SO much!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

attachment=2995SC_0252.JPG]Well the vets visit didnt go as well as we had hoped. They took more blood and said tapping his stomach would do more harm than good with his condition...the blood that is filling his stomach is actually stabalizing things abit and his white cells count was way off the charts.

Im ok with things now and know that every extra day we have w/him is a gift. Skiff met me at the vets and when we finished we all went for ice cream...Quahog usually would never eat the cone but he did today...I think it was his way of telling us that all was good with him and not not worry.

Renne, I would love to have my nephew Cam come every week for a photo shoot..its his hobby and he's really good at it. I will try to post a few pictures he took of his sister Molly and her new horse Amigo. He took her senior class photos this year and they came out great. She wanted them done w/her horse and I honestly think they are as nice as a proffesionaly photographer would do.

 

[cassie]

haha yay Heidi did you post those pics yourself? or did nephew Cameron post them?? lol

well thats sad about Quahog but at least he is stable, and is doing well in himself for now...

Cam just like his mummy loving the scratches!!

 

[AnnaC]

Those recent pictures are brilliant Heidi - cant believe how quickly Cam is growing.

Sorry the vet's didn't have better news for Quahog, but hey, he's doing so well, and as long as he is feeling ok in himself, then this extra time is something that you both deserve and is so very special. Hang in there Quahog, we are all sending prayers for you.

 

[Wings]

What fantastic photos! I love stalking my foals with the camera

 

[Eagle]

Great photos, well done Cameron

How is Skiff feeling these days?

Every day is a gift from above, enjoy your time with Quahog and try not to worry about tomorrow.

Hugs

Renee

 

[MeganH]

Great photos, Heidi! Look at Cameron's little tongue sticking out! 2nd picture posted with his tongue saying hello!

I do have to say again that Quahog is a very good looking German Shepherd. Sending you hugs and prayers.

 

[LittleRibbie]

Ive decided to just show a couple pictures a day to practice posting them. my picture poster has left but I think I may be able to figure out this posting of pictures by the end of the week. here are a couple of pictures we took the day before yesterday. Cam is, i have decided, a proud member of the horse with no neck club...I dont think he will ever win any beautiful neck trophies but he makes up for that with his personality!! Im so tempted to clip him!! Enjoy

 

[LittleRibbie]

Just a couple more practice photos
