I give up. This is my third try at posting. Obviously the sweltering heat and humidity is playing havock on Celcom service and my laptop and I'm tired of it sitting on my lap.
Time to take a nagged ride on the ATV through a sprinkler (that's turned on of course LOL) You all think I'm kidding. That ought to bring on some cool weather or rain hey? lol
Bl4 did you see your little duckies ? I have them housed right now with my pastels and a pair of snowies, just til we get more pens built. See what you started !!! I'm really enjoying my ducks and geese even more so then the chickens these days. I think watching them play in the water has a cooling effect.
My gander is doing summer salts under water and his feet stick up in the air and flap !!! Hilarious !!
But of course I have two bators full of eggs, Yes DH wants more laying hens !!! Ok whatever. Put 9 more paint silkie eggs in the bator yesterday. It was my Dads Birthday, he would have been 83 yr old. Happy Birthday in Heaven Daddy !!
Peacocks and Peahens are all over the yard. One Peacock roosts in a huge dead elm tree (that the horses girdled) every night. Calling out to the others. Wonder if I'll ever catch them ???
Called the DA's office today to see when the court date is for the horse. No charges as of yet. I talked to the stable owner yesterday and the Vet was out to see him. He said he was in pretty good shape for being so underfed. Teeth could use a tuneup but not the reason he is thin. Said he has a strong heartbeat and no sign of arthritis. He said he is in his 20's.
So not a real good sign if they want to press serious charges I'm thinking !!! Only thing that saved that horse was the fact that he had alot of shade trees where he was tied plus being fed grass clippings he did get some moisture from them. Not saying by any means it was ok, just sayin.
The woman at the DA's office said I should contact Sheriffs office if I wanted more info, they said to contact the DA's Geez.
One thing that tee's me off is that the Vet didn't get their until almost a week after they rescued him !!!!!
Anyway, better get outside and see if DH ok.
Oh and on a sad note, my neighbors lost a Stallion on Sunday. Just found him dead. He had bouts of Heaves in the past and the vet never did find out what was wrong. He was a paint Saddlebred/Arabian. Rest in Peace Gunner
And even sadder, my brother who lives in Racine County in the country had his dog hit by a car. I know he is devastated. His dogs were always very well trained but all it takes is one time. Guess he ran in the road and while running back home got hit and died instantly (Thank God for that anyway)
I feel so bad for my brother. He never goes out and buys a puppy or purebred. He always goes to the humane society and adopts an adult dog. They told him it was a boxer mix.
I took one look at him and well it was a pit mix. He was a very good dog. I think he's had him for about 2 years now.
No doubt if he would not have been adopted he would have been put down at the shelter. Racine has tons of pit mixes at the shelters. Up here they are full of hound bear dog mixes.
Only comforting thing is he had two good years. I don't know any more of the details but I do know they recently built houses across the street from him so something may have got his attention. ??????? All it takes is one time and it could be it. Rest in Peace Duke
Today we went into downtown Knoxville to see the World's Fair Park, the Sun Sphere, The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, and play in the water fountain park. Registration tomorrow!
