thank goodness for garage sales !

I now have about 20 feet of 4 foot high chain link (no posts), two ten foot lengths of 1-1/4" PVC piping, a 16" x 24" aluminum framed window with screw-hole flange, about 40 asphalt roof shingles, a louvered lockable 3 foot square metal door (think it was access on an RV for generator), and 12 feet x 3 feet of new vinyl flooring

all for seven bucks

the ore troughs are pretty much in place now --- I'm waiting for a bit more energy so I can move the existing chicken tractor out of the new run area and start taking it apart (am going to use some of the wood in that, to cover up some of the rotted wood on the ore trough sides, and reuse its chicken wire for run roofing

I may unroll the 50 foot of welded wire fence, let the chickens run around in that, until I get the corner posts for the run set up -- then me and the industrial staple gun will have fun attaching it to the corner posts and the ore trough sides ... I may temporarily use a big tarp for the roof area, until I get the rafters built

I was hoping DH would start building the frame to install the 4 x 4 window slider access for the run, but instead he is taking recyclables down to the Thurston County Clean Up event at the middle school .. bunch of old industrial fluorescent tubes which no longer light up, several old computer monitors, not sure what all else but it smelled chemical-y

That is a good thing you saw her, doesnt sound like it would have ended good.

Thank you my son in time will be ok, its just going to take a lot of time I guess. Doesnt help that his in-laws are trying to hurt the marrage. Poor kids.

Why would parents do that? It's none of their business really.

I know, I had friend after they got married come to me and tell me that the in-laws looked like trouble. They said they never saw them smile once. Than when they were both in the hospital in Sept the mom started yelling at me about my son and how everything was supose to be about her daughter and my son was supose to be second in the marriage. I had to keep my mouth shut becasue the kids didnt need us fighting. But I did tell her in my marriage we put each other ahead of our selfs, than just looked at her. With that she didnt say anything and walked away.. Shes a BAD BAD person... not nice at all.

and a kick in the pants too

I KNOW HUH!!

That is a gorgeous mare. Really very atractive!

lol I just looked out my window, and my daughter is leading her pony through the fence with a handfull of grass! lol She loves her little Teagan. Chloe has her first Lead line show next Saterday! Hopefully she doesnt freak out with all the people around the show grounds.

Im so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Ive had my cousins mare here with me for 5 days now, and I havnt felt well enough to ride.

my sisters horse Lacy, she's a little underweight, as my sister didnt worm her.

I was SO mad at her when I found worms in Lacys poo... she's gaining weight now, thankfully. But even with the weight she lost, she still looked better than when we brought her to my place. I should post before and after photos, all you horse folks would want to slap her previous owners. they cut her feed in half during the winter before she was brought to me. So skinny and sunk up in the loin. No muscle on her withers, or hip area. No saddle would fit without massive padding. But now, she looks SO much better!

No I TOTALLY GET IT!! I rescued a TB colt from my neighbor in Jan that was emaciated and skinny and crapping like a cow!!! The guy fed him corn silage!!! I told him I'd give him 50 bucks for him in Aug last year, cause he was eating weeds!! He wouldn't do it, finally my boyfriend was standing by the fence and they were talkin about something and the guy said he was going to beef him up and send him down the road! My BF said, we told you we'd give you 50 for him!!! So, that's how I got him. I dewormed the crap out him, Ivermectin twice then oxibenizole, anyway, it's because, the first time I hit him with Ivermec, .....I'm not kidding you, he had soo many bot larve in EVERY POOO! I was a vet tech for ten years, I've owned horse's over 25 yrs and I have NEVER and I mean NEVER seen a case that bad!! I was ticked!!!

Anyway, he is just a spit fire now and I'm going to rehome him. He's about 15 months old and I have two older horses and he's just harassing the hell out of him. I wasn't sure what I'd do with him when I got him, I just was not going to watch him die, I took an oath!! Anyway, I'm going to see about gelding him here pretty quick! just because you live out in the country and you can have horses, does not mean you know what your doing!! People need to get a clue!!!

Would you take a look at Pradas picture and tell me what you think? My vet sys she's thin, my farrier/trainer say's she's perfect for being a two year old apendix QH... She's a bit ribby, but has filled in nicely sence December. What do you think?
