How are the puppers that had surgery this week?

The little Faker was himself the very next day. He is healing up nicely.
He just helped me change the quail's paper towels.... He trembles while watching them through the side of the clear container. I bet he would love to play with one.

Boomer is doing good. We have a check up appt in an hour.

Totally agree!
We have been slogging thru mud since December 27. It has been rain, ice, snow or a combination every week since...Often two inches of rain a week. Ponds have been overflowing every week and the pastures are squishy. We have had to use the all terrain Ranger to feed because we couldn't get the 4-wheel drive truck in the pastures. We will be doing a lot of repair on the ruts made by the tractors while putting out hay. And limb removal and trimming on damaged trees.
We had a calf born early in the snow Jan. 4, chicks hatched in the barn and lost an Aunt on Jan 11. Hubby's Doctor want another colon scope so we begin preps this week.
And January is only half over.
But life is good, eggs by the dozens every day, calves are growing and healthy, chicks are thriving and the incubator is full.

Amen

If anybody is interested, basically all American Journey products (which I think is Chewy’s brand but I’m not really sure) are buy one, get one FREE on Chewy right now. I say basically all because the only thing that is not is dry dog food, which is unfortunate because it’s good food, but I can understand why as the dog food is probably most popular and also much larger bags, so they would likely lose more money. But I believe the dry dog food is on sale a little bit even though you don’t get a free bag. But anyway, everything else is BOGO. Dry cat food, wet dog and cat food, dog treats, etc. (they don’t make cat treats or else those probably would be too.) And they have good ingredients but a reasonable price so IMO this is a good deal. Here is the link if anyone wants.

Just ordered Luna the poultry and beef pâté variety pack last night (tried to post this last night but my pad died and I just went to sleep). Kind of wish I had found the other flavors though and known they were also on sale because I think she would have liked the minced in gravy ones or an all poultry pack rather than the beef and pate but she does eat pate’s and only one flavor in the pack has the beef, the other are poultry, so I think it will be fine. She eats just about anything LOL but they have a lot of different flavors and very large cans too. I just got 3 oz cans mostly because, again, I didn’t know they made more. Whoops. Oh well. I was basically just browsing all wet cat food and found the American Journey one. It is so hard to know what to feed them and what’s best. I almost got her a Blue Wilderness variety pack because she liked the last Blue Wilderness flavor I got her and it was one of the cheaper options. Was considering Wellness, Merrick, Taste of the Wild, Earthborn, and some other ones too. There are so many. It is so hard to know what to get them or what is best. I am lucky she is not picky but so many are and so many foods are so expensive. I was trying to consider the cheaper ones but they are still more expensive than some of the foods but also way cheaper than others. But anyway, long story short, this one won out because, well, you get one FREE. You can’t beat that lol 48 cans which will last almost 2 months for the price of 24 lol

I just sat down to try these instead.

I think the would qualify as flavored styrofoam too. A tad bit too salty but ok.
