    She seems to be back to normal. Tonight drank her bottle and then ran to the pellet dish with the others to eat. Saw her consume some. Now stretches tonight, so hopefully the probiotics was it.

This yard is huge and I just don't have the energy to do all of it in one day in the hot sun anymore. We also picked up the paper work necessary to enroll the kids...

    @Bruce , I do not have a post puller. If the help doesn't show up in the next day or so, I will wrestle with the darn things until I get them out. That is how it's done here, I was taught to ask for help if needed, but if help was not to be found then figure it out on your own. (Yesterday)So...
