Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

A few seconds of mayhem to make you smile.

They are flying really well! Looks like good fun to me!

And I get called an enabler?

I do my part for certain.

My son had a band concert today and the music school is in an old manor house. Plus the sun is shining and it’s a lovely day!

As far as med changes go they had to increase her lipitor. They completely took her off of one of her sugar pills as it was no longer working and one of her insulins that was a 70/30 mixture. They had to cut another heart med dose in half as they suspect is was causing her pulse to be too low. The only totally new medicine is a new insulin. She is on Humilin R now for her quick acting insulin on a sliding scale. I'm very familiar with that new insulin as it was one of the 2 I was put on 20 years ago when I was first diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic. It is already helping stabilize her sugar levels in just a few days. We go see the Neurologist Tuesday and will bring up the new issues with him then.

Keep us updated. Likely the stroke causing issues - unless her sugars are still out of whack.

I love the roofing it looks like some sort of tile.

Here we go for Pony Sunday. Dad always walks Dirt for about a mile before he asks him to get into gait. Today Mom insisted she be the one to warm him up. She has been the only other person besides dad to ride Dirt, and only 4 other times previously to cool him down after a long ride. This was her first time being the first one on his back during a ride and he behaved perfectly. I'm super proud of them both.

He is such a lovely boy, I love his colour very pretty

You need to do a video one day of him during his gaiting (is it a rack?)

Yes it is a rack. I have tried multiple times to get a video of him gaiting. You can hear him coming on the black top 5 minutes before you see him and you know he's going beautifully. Grab the camera and get into position to film, he spots me, and immediately breaks it. Me and dad want to choke him as when he breaks it he tries to go into a pace, or tries side hopping over to get to me. That and when he meets a UPS truck or one similar are the only times he EVER breaks his gait.

Yes I like it also, were can one get one?

Chewy or PetCo or Amazon. Look for portable, foldable, or travel pop up pet playpens. There are loads to choose from.
I got a brand called Ruff n Rufus but only ‘cos I liked the color.
It is pretty robust I think it will last for years. Cost around $30.
I got another one without a base for them to play in grass. I haven’t tried that out yet. It is meant for rabbits. Will share pics when it is warm enough to try it out.
