Howdy; It's been a while... I've taken in a mini in need and am wondering if there is a rescue contact in the SW Idaho area? He is safe, healthy and no longer in a critical situation, but I would like to find someone who may be able to help me place him in a mini-experienced forever home. I...

Lulu, our white tiel, just had a cat-induced night terror episode. Well, she and Bosco both did, but she's the one who's hurt. She's got some blood coming off one of her wings, enough that it was dripping fairly alarmingly, over her foot, and on the couch when I took her out to get a closer...

OK, it only took me a week or so to remember/find who it was that had the pictures of the crocheted harness pads. All I could remember was 'she has a lovely big horse too'. :bgrin Do you have any close up pictures of the pads, or would you be willing to share a bit on their construction? I'd...

I'm sure I've made clear my thoughts on lawyers and I can't beieve I've gone and spoken to one, but it's time. The ribs broken by the chiropracter in June have caused a serious problem in my shoulder now. I've taken upwards of 30 to 40 sick days this summer (those days I've been hording for the...

We go to Caldwell Night Rodeo every year (it was where we went for our first date back when). Last night was finals night, which we never miss. I may be remembering this wrong, but I think the main clown's name was Keith Iseley? Funny guy. Anyway for his solo act, he comes running in the arena...

I'm really trying to avoid racking up more doctors bills. I think I may have damaged my rotator cuff or some ligament thereabouts (compensating/protecting the ribs) last week while lunging ponies and cleaning up downed trees. Darrin is nagging me to go the the doctor because it's no better, but...

Got this in my email today, and for once it's not going to be freezing cold or cloudy here during the storm! Space Weather News for August 17, 2006 http://spaceweather.com AURORA WATCH: An explosion on the sun yesterday (Aug. 16) hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. The...

Sassy's tail has been chewed to nearly the bottom of the tail bone. :no: Dizzy is the primary suspect, though it's hard to imagine Sassy letting anyone get that close to her rear end. It was brushing the ground before this happened; it was beautiful. Now it looks really bad. A week or so ago...

Faith Hill. In addition to being one heck of a singer, she is also a healer. :bgrin We've had tickets for the Soul 2 Soul tour for months. Darrin woke up today feeling pretty bad. He was stressing out that he was going to miss the show and insisted on going, and if I had to drag him out on a...

Also leave in or rinse out? Does it have to be original flavored? Will the green minty kind work too? Has anyone tried Gold Bond lotion for itchy tails? We're current on worming, tried Shapleys (made it worse), Mane & Tail, Gold Nugget Theraputic Lotion. Privates and bag are clean. She is in...

Darrin has been sick as a dog the last 2 days. He got a preliminary diagnosis today of West Nile Virus. *Insert four-letter word here* If he can stay out of the hospital this weekend, he'll get the rest of the bloodwork done on Monday for the official diagnosis. If he gets hospitalized, he'll...

A co-worker and I were chit-chatting the other day. We were talking about the ponies and the little kids that come over to learn how to take care of horses. She said that when her son (who is now getting ready to start his Eagle Scout project) went for his Horsemanship merit badge, his troop had...

Have you ever been so tired that it's an effort to blink your eyes? : We're getting ready for the open show at the fair. I'm taking one, hopefully two, possibly three. Depends on how many folks I can con into helping me. : OK, first... my 2-year-old Foundation Classic filly... how much...

This is in regards to my shetland filly, but thought I might get more answers here. My 23 month old filly has acted colicky for one night every 28 to 30 days since April. And tonights the night for June it looks like. I just pulled out all of my bills : and confirmed the pattern. The last time...

Or if I should do anything at all... Last Monday, I went to a new chiropracter. Just opened close to my house. Much closer than my regular chiropracter. My second visit with the new guy. The first visit had not gone well either (spent the weekend with my head in the toilet from neck pain), but...

C'mon, I know I won't be the only one in this gang watching, right? Who is your pick? I usually don't go with favorites, but I watched Brother Derik in a race a few weeks ago, and WOW! I found this interesting article this morning. Some neato information about why horses are such great...

I bought this place 11 years ago next week. The population of the nearest town, only 2 miles away, was 500 then. It was nearly 2,000 last census, and over a thousand building permits have been issued since then. 800 sewer permits in the last couple of years alone. I took this land from a...

Things that make you go 'hmmmmm'... The only new thing in my horses' diets is the BOSS I started adding about 6 or 8 weeks ago. My usually bright bay horse (Guy, who is well past his foal shed at age 15 :bgrin ) has black shading coming in and really pronounced counter shading along his spine...

Our town had a special 'flood forum' tonight. Fortunately, we were smart enough to NOT build in the flood plain. About 200 of my neighbors weren't (a few actually built on the channel itself) and are looking at flooding by tomorrow afternoon. About 50 or 60 of these properties are farms, and...

The dialysis unit got the official notification today that Darrin has been reactivated on the kidney transplant list in Seattle! He was put 'on hold' status in October, when they found out about the August heart attack. He didn't stop accumulating wait time, but wasn't eligible for any...
