She is ok. Tired but ok today. She was dehydrated AGAIN and the crazies had a hold of her and her bp was crazy low as was her heart rate. :(. We have GOT to find a water flavor that she likes and will drink… her thing is sweet tea… and it aint cuttin it anymore! I have tried marinatin fruit in water for her, bought i dont know how many flavored fizzy waters, kool aid drops. She does like pedialyte pops… but dang they are expensive. Wont drink gatorate of any flavor or liquid pedialyte. It is just a pita. And with her dimentia on top of it she acts like a toddler when she does not get her way… we have been havin LOTS of toddler moments the last few months. I saw chiilie willie (freezer pop) wrappers where you make your own recently somewhere… but i think if i did that and refilled them she wouldnt eat them because she would know by the wrapper and that i ask her to keep them… and say i am tryin trick her. So we are at a loss right now how to get her to drink more fluids…. ugh.

That has to be so hard. I hated it when my mom would act like a brat, and she was basically mentally ok.
I pray you can find something she will drink that will not break the bank.
 
Daisy's a bad girl! Got home around noon. Before the storms start I thought I'd take them for a graze out front. Poor kid next door was trying to mow. She bombed him. From behind. Scared him to death. She hadn't been paying any attention to him. I dropped my guard. That or she timed it for when I wasn't paying attention. Bad bird.....
 
We have a wild tom hanging out outside our turkey enclosure. He and my tom Dumpling keep displaying constantly, the girls don't seem that interested in the wild tom, but can't get to him even if they were. How long do you think the wild tom will hang around?

I got to within 5 feet of him yesterday. His tail looks better than my tom's, but he's smaller. He also has a beard that's pretty long.
