After this semester is over, I'll have to plan a "field trip" to Beths!  CoopScoop...it's a date! 

 

I'm rationalizing bantams by knowing I can use them as incubators.  If they're in hanging cages, I won't have a fire ant problem with them hatching.  I never had fire ants bother the rabbits.

 

 

I have to share this, even though most of you don't know me or my health issues.  For years I've been diagnosed with a degenerative, non-treatable neuromuscular disorder.  I've gone from being the hay-bale-stacking-feed-bag-slinger to unable to pick up a grown rabbit from the ground, and needing forearm crutches and a leg brace to get around.  And I had only to look forward to ending up bed-bound and on a feeding tube.  sad.png

 

Until yesterday.

 

Yesterday I got the results of my latest objective muscle strength tests.  The latest attempt at treatment IS WORKING!!! celebrate.gif I have gained strength in both upper and lower body, with huge gains in my legs.  So I am celebrating!  Confetti for everyone!  (Biodegradable confetti, please!  Fruity Pebbles!)  I have not had good news like this in years!  I've given up raising sheep, raising angora rabbits, gave up my macaw I brought back from Panama, gave up my dreams of doing field research....and now I may be able to pick some of my plans and dreams back up!  I am on the most amazing high ever right now.  So, someone do a happy dance for me.  I'm not able to dance yet...but perhaps I'll be able to later! ya.gif
