Boy oh Boy, went to put my head down "just for a sec" and didnt wake untill 5:00 when my husband woke me up. He said he thought I needed some sleep.I think he saw that I put the laundry soap in the fridge... that might have been just a wee indication!!He watched the camera for me!Looks like Renee is off for a fun couple days!! You go girl, what a nice surprise!!
One of the reasons I layed down yesterday was because I just happened to look at MS and a mini donkey was just starting to foal. Owner was standing right there ready to help if needed, great camera set up. Well I think diane told me several months ago that breeding is not for the faint of heart...this had to have been the poster video for "not for the faint of heart" Let me say 1st... that first the women tried (hip lock I believe) then young girl maybe 8/9 tried to help. This women did everything she possibly could..it was devastating.Extremely distressed mini Jennet. Young girl ran to get maybe the day. Well this guy, with all his strength tried, pushed back in/wiggled side by side out, Jennet up down...it went on for maybe 30 min I truly thought that the man may have a heart attack. Nothing could ever prepare me for that. The whole time the women was trying to breath into the baby...the man was dragging thisJennet around by the babies legs it was hard to tell if it was alive or if it had passed. finally the cam was shut down. Couldnt watch any more.I give the owners credit for doing every thing they possibly could. I could hardly bring myself to see the out come I knew it couldnt be a good one. So very sad. After that of course my mind starts racing...I felt ill and just wanted to nap!
We got the foal strips yesterday and I'll be darned if I couldnt get even a smidgen of milk the 2 x's we tried yesterday. She had a couple drops 2 days ago but nothing yesterday. And her bag is bigger and harder. Went to lift up her tail this morning and this little girl tried to kick twice...if she wasnt so big!! she couldnt get her back end off the ground. Im pretty PO'd at her behavior ....she is/was never like this. She pins her ears and is down right nasty!! Still no nesting...one side of her belly seems to be getting flatter but the other side is still sort of round. Well I have to go do chores but will give some updates later
