Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

A few of you have looked at this on facebook, but I thought this little colt was just breathtaking. It is a Friesian/Appaloosa cross.



Dropped my mom off at the train station in Tomah.... and discovered that my car has hard seats. Well, either the seats are hard or my butt is too tender and I need more padding.

Dr.H, you need to give him water and electrolytes. If you cannot get something like Pedialyte into him, you can make your own electrolyte solution:

• 2 quarts water
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 7 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt substitute (optional)

I would adjust the recipe to a size you need. Feed him REALLY wet food too when he is ready to eat foods.

I hope he is ok.

I do love that horse!

And I'll give you some @ss padding. Keeps the liposuction away if I can share with someone...

[Dr HaHa]

Good Morning Everybody! Glad I can say that again. Bl4 thanks for the recipe! He's doing much better this morning

but it's gonna be a long road I think. I checked on him several times during the night and he actually purred once. He got off the scratch pad when I got up at 4 to check on him and he ate the wet food I gave him and a little hard food. He went and looked at the litter box and layed down on the back porch. Think he's gonna make it. Dang animals

Dan been there done that too but it used to be that we were ready to go by the next night. Now if we're naughty it takes a couple of days to recuperate.

Carol looks and sounds like you had a good time! Tatters good to hear from you, check in a lot more often we worry ya know. Sounds like a lot of work by you. Know all about being a one man work crew. I get offers for help but I'm saving it for when I really need it. That day isn't far off unfortunately. Bf4me cool lookin goats! Only saw your DH for brief time at the Bash glad to see he can smile! Cind that irritates me too! And have to agree that's the coolest looking colt I've ever seen Bl4. Oh ya maybe it's not the car seats.

TO hope DH has a good trip as well as the DD! Ken I feel for ya too! Still have fresh memories of ripping out wet carpeting.

Can't remember any more sorry! Today is make a decision on the washer drain and Bob watch. Have the blower runnin on the wood stove suckin cold air into the house.

Absolutely LOVE this baby!

Great tip about making your own in a pinch. A bit new to the whole chicken "thing" (actually re-thing, not had for longer than I will admit too

)but had furry critters my entire life, even had training and worked as a vet tech in my youngin' days

. Have done the sugar water thing when I run out, but usually have the product below always on hand in my critter emergency kit.

DRH~ I ALWAYS have a bag of ~Sav-A-Calf Electrolytes Plus~ powder around. You can pick it up at your pet supply, feed mill, etc. Only costs $2 and has the shelf life of dirt. Lists right on the bag it is good for just about anything with fur either pre-weaned or adult incl. anything domestic +elk, deer (and pigs). It is the first thing I go to if I have a critter that's been puking, won't eat, won't drink or has just went "down". Honestly, I haven't looked into whether the viable microorganisms are a problem for choots so this reminds me to check into that. Let you know. good luck and keep us posted.

Hi DRH

so glad Bob is doing better! please check my reply post to Babylady4. If Bob is a "senior" citizen, you should really keep some Sav-a-Calf Electrolytes Plus on hand in case (or sadly, when) he goes down on you again. If you can't find it around you, let me know, I can always drop a bag into the mail to you

. Like I said, costs a whole $2.

Sounds like everyone had an "adventurous" weekend

or

BF4~I want my goats again!!!!

Kristip~ hubby would kill me too

Wish I could send you some of our rain! I know what it's like to keep draggin' hoses around.

Noah~be careful with the muck. Watch out for mold. so sorry

Aply~just think of the shed as a realllllllllly big Christmas present wrapped in a puzzle box

BBP~I want to come play in the water with your beautiful horse!

Tatter~so sorry about your trees (and hunting woods). Too bad we don't live closer. My hubby just Loves

his chain saw! Lost the tree behind my workshop and 2 behind the garden cottage this spring when he got bored

Loggers were supposed to come log out our "back 40" this winter but it didn't freeze enough and you would have thought he lost his tickets to the super bowl

Good Morning everyone. I figured I'd jump on here before heading outside to wash out the pool liner and refill it. I think there is something in the air today lol normally the ducks stays away from the chickens except food time but today they are chasing the chickens around lol. Its about time, those roosters have been chasing the ducks around alot, maybe now the ducks are just getting even lol. Well the weekend came and went and DH didnt butcher the last 4 roosters he was suppose to. Looks like he'll have to do it this week. We wanted them gone before his kids get here this weekend coming up. Both his kids have a form of Autism, anxiety disorders, one has bi-polar with phsycotic tendencies, and both ADHD. So needless to say we dont need to be butchering around them. I really dont look roward to the visit but its only for a couple weeks, well unless his son becomes violent then they will go home asap. So if I'm not on much the next couple weeks you know why . HHHHmmmmm well I guess thats about it, I guess I should find my patch kit for the top ring of the pool. I hope every one has a great day

Isn't that little guy gorgeous! He did not stay that dark as he aged, as an adult he is MUCH whiter, but still a beauty!

Had my 6 mo iLasik appointment this morning.... still lookin' good!

Dr.H, so happy to hear Bob is doing better. If he is as dehydrated as you think, don't give him any dry food at all since it will take precious moisture away from his system to soften up in his stomach. Everything you give him needs to be wet wet wet...... Squirrel was getting sardines, tuna, canned salmon.... talk about spoiled rotten! Oh I miss that fat boy so much.....

I suppose I need to get my butt in gear. I've been rotting away here for a little too long.

Morning all!
Dog got me up at 5:00 AM!! I took one look at the clock and went back to bed. They all wanted to hang by the refer since we BBQ'd a rabbit last night for dinner and they wanted the left overs.
Actually I should say to be correct Bubba got me up at 5 and the dogs took over from there. Bubbs got stuck in the blinds....*sigh*

Got another patch of grass all torn up to make another flower bed. I got a great deal on a blue Hydregnea (sp) and I need to get it in the ground. So I made ma little plot and decided I'm going to preen the heck out of the ground and put down weed fabric, plant, mulch and preen the mulch just to be sure. I have another area to do to but that will take more energy then I have today but I have to do it soon so I can get the Butterfly Bushes in the ground.

So I have to go to Maynards for some supplies and more plants....

DrH-BL4 gave you some great advice for Bob. I'm glad he is home.

I agree wet food only.Cats tend to get the majority of their moisture from their food.
Also as another thing you can add to your list of things to give a dehydrated kitty or dog, Chicken Broth is a good one and most people have a can on hand. Give it room temperature. I keep a few cans of Low sodium broth on hand but if you just have a regular you can give that cut with a little water. Tuna water from the can of tuna works great too, but you have to be careful how much "people" tune you give a cat. As a treat once in a while your fine but on a regular basis, there is too much mercury in the tuna for cats. There is "cat" safe tuna and that is fine.
BigFam-I'm going to hunt you down and take those goats....OMG!! Love Love Love them!!!

I think you should not have goats because I want them....I think I need your goats...I think I will visit you and "borrow" your goats to much my weeds...and they will magically disappear!! HAH!! JK!! Seriously though, your goats are freakin' adorable!!!

WCc-Adorable parade pic!!! Love the summer themed costume!!! Look like you had tons of fun!!

Well, more to say but I can't remember what and I have to get gone....
Later

Oh! Elaine and Tatters!! Great to hear from y'all again!!! Glad to hear y'all are well
