you and i BOTH! lol


last year she had no bag, this year a FULL HOT HARD BAG. wax, the works. who knows what her plan is. but i am about to lose it!!

not really any change tonite, super sticky, thick milk, still opaque, not white. i keep telling myself that it needs to be white, she was so unpredictable fast last year so who knows. maybe she is planning on holding on to the foal till easter morning? lol that would put her at 330 days, with my luck she will go another week LOL (she bettter not! haha)

so now its 4 days no sleep, had a small cat nap today. going to try and sleep tonite.

Ewe, she has no bugs, she is shedding. we had to shave her because of a skin infection, but we didnt bother with her legs. she has always been a itchy girl tho especially when she is shedding.

her skin infection turned out to be some kind of Staph infection. which we are treating . we are glad to say its clearing up very well which is part of the reason she is rubbing her neck and side and such so much . those sores healing are making her itch.if the weather would just warm up, i could give her another bath with some medicated shampoo to help the itching , but its still only in the 50s during the day and i dont dare bath her.
also you cant really see the infection on cam, but if you look at the pics i posted the other day, a page or 2 back you can kind of see some of it. its nearly healed now tho. i would have caught it before it got that bad but she was at a friends until about 4 weeks ago, and i didnt notice till i got her home. if i have time tomorrow, i may try to get some anti itch crream on the worse spots and maybe shave her legs to make her more comfy

My students are driving me nuts sending me text messages asking about her.

gonna have to give twitch a bath here in a bit. the creme i use doesnt seem to be helping, and i know that the shampoo will do wonders. ill take her out to give her a bath here in a bit. i didnt want to stress her, but she is re opening some of the sores from the infection because they are sooo itchy
