Well, I spent the entire morning building a fugly little shelter for Robin and whatever she is hiding in her belly, lol. It is certainly not pretty, but it is functional. Will keep the snow, rain, and wind off of her for the most part. I did have to buy the t-posts, but everything else was stuff that we just had lying around. Robin was nervous of it at first, but once I put a few alfalfa cubes in there, she went in pretty quickly
WOW!! What a cute shelter - well done you!! Are your sides strong enough to stand up to her having a good rub when she decides to itch her rear end - we use a lot of those pallets when making partitions - usually fully boarding the insides I have to admit for extra stability, because for some reason my girls ALWAYS have to try out the wall strength when presented with a new stall!!
Thanks! They are pretty sturdy. They have 2 roosts holding up each pallet, so she can rub all she wants
I am glass that I for it up this morning as it is raining as I type....too bad the little witch isnt using it yet lol. I will feed her in it until she figures everything out
Yeah...she is definitely driving me nuts. I just don't understand how she could act/look SO CLOSE a month ago and now act like she still has a month left! Annoying little mare...
Could be the sound. I think it was more that she just didn't feel it was needed yet LOL. The rain was off and on and it wasn't very cold. I think if it gets too nasty for her, she will use it
hi, just wanted to say your beautiful girl is driving me insane, I don't have any foals and have no plans for any but have followed this thread for weeks - She's half the reason I joined the forum, lol , good luck, I hope something happens soon
Well Tanya, I am terribly sorry that you have been dragged into the madness that is Robin's pregnancy, lol. I am to the point now where I just have no clue what she is doing. At this point, I have to wonder if she isn't going to hold out until December, proving to me that Papa, is indeed the Papa, lol. All I know is that I am slowly losing my mind because of this little mare...
Oh and my arms are absolutely KILLING me this morning, lol. I can barely lift them! But it does make me feel good about my productive morning yesterday Go me!
Perhaps I should show this forecast to Robin?? Maybe then she will understand why she should go ahead and get that baby out now, rather than later...winter is coming, lol.
Robin's bag is depressing tonight. Floppy on both sides. BUT, she is healthy and happy, so I guess that I won't complain too much. I think that the only reason that I am hoping for Batman as daddy is that she would pretty much HAVE to pop in the next couple of weeks. If it isn't him, I am going to be in for a LONG few months
On the bright side? Robin used her shelter during a little hail storm today
Okay, so here is my thinking on this whole situation now. It is now MY belief that some outside variable jumped into the equation that is Robin's pregnancy and caused her to bag up a little early. That outside variable has either gone away or is no longer affecting her, and now she is going back to where she actually should be as far as signs go. Her udders are totally unimpressive and have pretty much been staying that way for the last week or so. She no longer looks dropped at all. Her hooha is uninteresting. I seriously wouldn't be surprised if she actually goes to December, at this point.
Anyway, I thought that I would throw a little fun back into this thread and put up some photos of the other two possible baby daddies, lol.
This is Papa...he was a little stallion that I "rescued" along with his 4 offspring from one of those "free ponies" ads on craigslist.
And here is Jose'...the less likely of the two other possibilities, lol. I got him last October at 7 months old.
So...there you have it. Robin is going to drive me absolutely bananas until she decides to pop, lol.
haha, i'm guessing you're a photographer (or should be!) Your photos always looks awesome with a bit of artistic flair.
You do realise if she's still pregnant by december that you're going to have to fork out thousands to get her a tummy tuck after birth from all the excess skin that won't bounce back
