Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[lilfarmmomma]

Happy Monday all!! Thank you to the comments on my mud monster. He is a handful, for sure. Whoever made the comment about framing that pic for his DFW, heck yes. Great idea. I think I will get one of those with more than one pic spot and frame the whole series for her. I tried to get on a couple of times yesterday, but that didn't work out too well with my phone. The wedding went well, they were the most relaxed wedding party I have ever encountered. I think they will be pleased with the work that we did and my mom and I each made some cash. I found out for sure that I do not want to shoot weddings for a career, but it was a great experience.

I got up this morning and did chores, then DD decided to longe her horse. When she went down to the pasture to get him, our little dog followed her and ended up getting run over by (I think) my mare. Poor guy. He seems to be ok, but very sore. I will have to keep an eye on him for a couple of days. There are no broken bones that I can tell, except maybe his tail, but I was a little afraid to touch it, so I will have DH check it when he gets home. We still have quite a bit of mud, I am convinced that is the only reason he came out ok. If it had been summer already and it was dry down there, I am certain he would have been crushed.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi. I now have to go stir my sauce and make some meatballs for dinner.



Itsren- sorry about your girl, I hope she heals quickly.


FWJ- hope you are feeling better soon. Accidents stink.

Blackie is such a calm little girl. We cleaned her up best as we could and applied "original" Neosporin. At this point we won't use BluKote since she is inside the house in the hospital kennel. So sad for our little sweetie. Not sure what to do about the big chunk of comb hanging of. Wish I knew what happened, too.

If the comb hanging off disturbs you you could sterilize some shears and cut it off, just pretend you're dubbing a game fowl. Birds are much tougher than we often give them credit for. You could use qwikstop powder, or corn starch to stop bleeding if you wanted to, then give her a day or two in a box for it to scab over and she'll be good as new.

It is now an open bleeding wound. The Neosporin may have caused it to bleed again.

Please tell me the "super glue" process. My husband is off to get some blood stopping medication (Jess, if you see this before you see my text, what was the name again?)

We moved her hospital kennel back outside and set it inside the PVC chicken tractor so she could see her sisters.

Jess - in answer to your question to treatment - she just snuggled down in my arms while my husband put the Neosporin on. She sweetly talked to us and ate all the treats we hand-fed her as we tried to help her.

Corn starch will stop the blood? We have that on hand. So - we won't need qwikstop?

I've used it before on dubbed birds and dog toenails, works about the same as qwikstop.

The chicken tractor outside may have been a bad idea. She's pretty PO'd.

So - can we super glue the comb back together and then use corn starch? It is quite an open wound again.

It's worth a try before heading out!
