April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[cassie]

ok According to the bag directions Delilah should be getting 2lbs. of Miniature horse and pony. I just weighed a cup of it and it weighs 1/2lb, so between that and the mare and foal she is only getting half of what she needs.

I'll be increasing her pellets as well as her hay. While I was outside I spread another flake abound her outside area.

I had just been feeding her like I feed the other two and didn't take into account her being bigger and preggers

. I feel so stupid. poor baby. She is such a doll and I haven't been feeding her enough.

:frusty

You doing a great job looking after her Hazel!! don't feel bad we all make mistakes and the fact that you are listening and learning from these wonderful ladies shows how much you love and care for your girls!! I agree with Anna, build up her condition a bit more so she has enough nutrients and good stuff that she will be able to feed her baby without taking from her own fat stores... I'm sure you will have no problem getting the little excess weight off her after she foals

unless you in my case n my silly Suzie won't lose the weight! and reckons she is starving !! LOL

Thanks guys. We did farrier work yesterday a and cleaned stalls and paddocks. Rain started last night so we will have it all to do again. Delilah likes the rain. She has been out in it most of the morning. Hubby is watching the camera. Silly girl. II'd stay out of the rain and stay dry

Taking care of the babies like good mommas do. Hope Delilah knows that lesson.

Good luck Hazel, cos mine don't

they stand out in the pouring rain with their babies

but I think it bothers me more than it does the babies cos they seem happy enough even when they are soaked

Hi Diane, Let me see if I can get some new ones. Roxie is sharing the bedroom with two of the granddaughters this week so she has gotten over the protective stage. I'll post some in just a little bit.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Diane, Here is a new pic of the little boy.

 

[a mini dream come true]

He is a little cutie.It's not very often you get a Dapple, but his dad is a dapple, but the older he gets the less dapple he has and more solid black and tan.

 

[a mini dream come true]

I'll take pics tomorrow.

 

[AnnaC]

Aww he is just so cute - would love to see pics of his Momma and Papa too.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Here is a pic of dad and his older sister. She is also dapple

 

[a mini dream come true]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

The one on the left is the sister and the one on the right is daddy. they usually get to about 9 inches tall and weigh about 8 or 9 pounds. They are not big dogs. They are great family dogs. Dalton has wagged they around since he was big enough to pick them up and none of them have ever tried to bite or snap at him, but they really let you know if someone drive up on the place.

We are going up to Mirrie's in a little while and I plan on taking pictures of Son Rise and Vernica. I'm excited to see them. It has been two weeks since I've been up there. Sure will be glad to get them all together again.

Everyone have a wonderful Christmas and I'll be checking in on my cell phone.

New Pics of Delilah. Poor baby could sure use a bath, but it's too cold right now.

She is a little lopsided in this shot. I figured out from the paperwork that she ran with the stallion probably until at least the 9th of March 2010. That was when the health certificate was done to ship her to Georgia. What do ya'll think another month?

 

[cassie]

hard to tell, but yeah... maybe even more? but I am not expert hehe

she looks gorgeous though!! and don't worry bout the whole bath thing!! LOL I'm sure she would get just as dirty just as quick!

 

[lucky lodge]

what a pretty little girl

i reckon she,ll foal about the 10th of feb has she started to bag up yet

 

[a mini dream come true]

No Jenn , she's not bagging up yet. That's why just the side veiw. She does look deeper in the belly than she did on the 11th, but no "v". Each time I post pics here I also print them so I can compare

Ther is a little difference, but not much. I try to stay at the same angle and about the same distance. Time will tell I guess.

Not much sleep last night. The dogs kept me awake most of the night. Couldn't figure out what was wrong with them. Just constant noise all night.

 

[cassie]

Lol you poor thing! It's probably good that Delilah has a a little longer to go

the puppies will be older n less demanding n you might be able to catch up on sleep

 

[a mini dream come true]

Well home at last and exhausted. But I still have horses to feed dogs to let out again and guess what!!

Coca has a baby!!

:yeah

A beautiful little dapple puppy

. She is protective so am not sure if it is a girl or boy. Diane I think this one is even prettier, if possible, than Roxie's little boy.

Whew! That is why they were so noisey last night. Cocoa was trying to figure out where she wanted to have her puppy and be safe and Jaz was out. I forgot to make sure he was in his room last night.

:frusty That's what happens when your routine is broken.

Maybe things will get back to normal. Of course we still have one more holiday next week so a three day weekend. I really enjoy them, but my first day back to work is always crazy.

this is the way I feel by the end of the day with everybody wantiing this or that. Hope everyone elses day went better.
