Got the tabs and also some names :-)

More like life eh………

Been having to do two sales at the weekend as it’s not been the easiest of months this one.. will be glad to see the back of it to be honest.  That coupled with the eyes having a dummy spit and the bones being deprived of the oxy’s as its taken for ever to get a script BUT got one on Friday and oh it’s so much easier and better 🙂

Saw the gp and got the script and the tabs almost immediately lol. Man they work well.

Its been such a sunny week, all about hay is being made and the fears of having none this winter seem to be unfounded. I have to build a lean-to shed to store some in so will have to up the anti via the sale’s and try and get some more stock to sell as its going out as good as it can 😉

I have done a bit of work since getting the tabs and best of all I have had some help! Long ago I had a youngster most hols and weekends. She was a nice kid and now she is nice young adult lol.  Any way Yas and her boy have just moved near by and its so good to have help:-)

Oh and Alfie… he is 7 months old and so lovely but as big a time waister as the foals lol.

Talking of which………………………….. Meet Milly  It does suit her you know and Shelly Esmeralda is the sheep for sure and the others I think Ermentrude and Evelyn ……. what do you all think?  Those names (the other 2) came to me as I walked across the fields lol. Alba in tow of course lol. She is a heller and Flo though better with her, is still not 100% so we had to come back early. Lol it can get a bit eventful out in them fields……

Yas thought of Milly and its a good nane for her, simple and fits with Gypsy really. Glad she has a name though I really am.

Lil had to go to the vets… hot spots…. She really did have a go at it and as the un-proud wearer of a buster collar for a min but thankfully now its had a few days treatment and some respite from licking its so much better and she hasn’t got to wear the collar any more.  Am keeping an eye on Haz though as he too seems to be getting a bit licky at both him and Lil…. Not had hot spots before and well its like springer and I will never use a flea treatment that you can buy over the counter and begins with an F again…. back to good old stronghold cus it works!

The vets shaved off her areas and made them 6x the size, lol. She is looking so much better skin wise but its going to take a bit of time for the hair to grow back lol. I can not belive how ineffective the treatment she had to stop this was….. its working on some but not others and with the heat has come an explosion of grass fleas second to none and I have grass and they are always in it! Just done her a nice shampoo and vet style set, lol Haz too  he said with absolute disgust lol. I got the special stuff Pip used to have from the vets as well and it will sort out but feel like doing a complaint letter and sign it disgusted in Cornwall for how ineffective the other flea and tick thing was! The heat is a problem only cus we just are not used to it!

Mind I gone 5 shades darker and that’s a first for the last 5 years as the summers have been fill in the blanks lol.

Much as I hate the stuff I have had to resort to bared wire round the chicken bit….. It’s the only thing this lot of horses understand… I have tried everything but its the only thing that stops them.  Even the electric fence isn’t safe with them….. The want in to any area that they re not allowed to be in and they just walk through it what the it is. Not the bared though and I so hate it but they broke the hen-house doorway and it’s not good to have the risk of them making it no longer fox proof by night……. I do so hate the wire bit though.

I have put it high enough to not touch Alba and the horses owner uses bared so they do know what it is and well… I got the young chicks as well out in the make shift run and they need to stay safe as well.

They are two roadislands and pure breed for a change. I swapped a couple of bags of dog food for them lol, I love Cornwall. I need some brown egg layers and these will for sure.  I do like the legbars but there are now only 4 hens that lay brown eggs… these 2 will (hopefully they are both girls) will make it 6.

I have a hen sitting and she is on 2 blue eggs and 2 brown eggs so there might be some more brown ones there as well;-)

Right i been out with the camara as you will know lol and Pretty-ne has now well and truly met Aba lol

Milly

Was sat on the floor… Phoenix liked that lol

So did Mule lol

If you look at her bum the black is either that or very dark brown lol. What ever colour its dark lol

The rest is slower lol Its going to be dark and I still think black 😉

Clyde who still has the fluffy ears lol

She had to have the last word, lol.

You all take care.

Pain and Distraction….

Rainie painie day syndrome…..

I think the lack of sleep and rest for the bones, coupled with a continual reluctance to remember to take the mtx, has all resulted in this one. I was looking for something yesterday, didn’t find it yet, and have spent time bending over so the lumber started up.

I did sit for a while and then went back to finding it again till the lumber said ‘I warned you and now have some of this!’

Woke u so sore and every foot step produced pain down the leg as well as out into the hips…. The rest if me isn’t much better but things have to be done so did the barest I had to and scurried back to bed…. Slept again and woke to do Alba’s next bottle before collapsing into the armchair and now trying to find a bit of distraction so bear with me for the rambled post…..

I have to go over Redruth  tomorrow and thankfully the car is an old automatic so I can drive that with out up setting the lumber. The standing might be a problem but you never know that might not take too long 😉

Will then drop into to Truro for a min on the way back.  I like Truro. Its Cornwall’s principal town and has the most lovely cathedral that

Truro Cathedral

dominates the views all around.   The spire’s (there are 3 of them) used to be green but have recently undergone a big clean up so now they are grey…. you know what I loved them better as green, lol.  It’s actually a really good Victorian fake and is designed to look Gothic and older than it actually is though bits of it inside do date back to the 1500’s the rest is late Victorian but well this time they got it right. (I have to say I love old buildings but find the Victorians were often so OTT that the building s are not on my list as favorites ;-))

I was over having a look at Rumpy Dog (http://rumpydog.com/2012/06/16/punish-the-deed-not-the-breed/ ) blog and there was a optic of a barn. Rumpy lives in the states and they have the best barns, lol. Ours here are more like our houses in style… side glance at the one I have down the field and known to its friends as plan B lol.

Come on I did say it would be a ramble lol.

That should take you to the BSL page. Rumpy comes up with some good topics actually and he is on the extended list of the BSL as Slurps is under the DDA.

While there has to be some way of sorting out what is going on in the dog world with the attack thing… there have been so many and everyone has been down to the idiot owners! The DDA is already in place but it keeps getting these amendments and well I get a bit concerned at just where it might end up. A friend of mine says (and she is right) ban one breed of dog and the idiots will turn to another and before you know where you are another breed is being eradicated…. Not quite got that bad yet but the talk of moving the staffies up a group would mean muzzles and compulsory neutering….. That would mean the end of the breed over time or have I got it wrong?!

Hey sorry its just something I wanted to shout out about lol.

Now where shall we meander to next? Oh got a cameo page to do…. You wait Rube’s there are other dogs trying to steal your line light lol. Even a cat….

I took some picture if Phoenix on Tuesday and we had a lovely sunny day. Poor little thing is drenched at the mo but they don;t like going in these horses and even though the barn is open they would prefer to be out in the fields.

She is looking so different, her legs are straight and she has filled out. They are sort of born empty with only a small amount of stuff called macodium in their bowls which helps keep the slender and easier to be born. I guess we all have the same actually lol.

I shall just post a few… lol like that s ever gong to happen…..

Phoenix on the 19th … yep Haz had to get in on the act lol
