Erick is doing something where the doctors take stem cells from his own blood or marrow and then inject them into his knees. He is hoping to avoid knee replacements. He says it is actually doing the job. Expensive and not covered by insurance but he can't be laid up with surgery.

She is interested in the house to live in on site. She has 8 horses of her own. It might be too steep for her prospective use. There is about 2 acres of flat land on top of the ridge. The ridge can be flattened a bit more, and there are other flat areas where stalls can be put up. Turn...

Any update on surgery?

When a dog changes locales or moves they have to assess the new territory for threats. He may be setting up a warning system now.

Check out the breed of goat since some don't have tasty milk. Toggenburg goats have nasty milk. :sick Also whichever of yoi plans to mill the goat - try milking it first. Some goats have teeny teats or massively large teats that make milking a problem. A giveaway animal can be a problem...

AAAARGH! Hopefully it is nothing serious that will conflict with surgery! Or life in general! Hoping for the best for you.

Poor Obi! Sweet Fuzzy Face. So glad he is responding to antibiotics. Vets that don't know the answers to easy questions really peeve me. And that don't want to know.

And the Ridgetop MIS-adventures continue. :idunno This morning DS1 was on the way back from dropping DSIL2 in Dallas. He was stopped to make a turn when a 19 year old girl ON HER CELL PHONE hit the front corner of his car. She was going fast and when she hit his car it ripped off the front...

If you have any dry shampoo (they sell it for dog shows) take some for her legs and any [arts the lamb tube doesn't cover. Another cleaning solution (without soap and water) on exposed legs is vinegar and baking soda. Dab on the vinegar, springle with baking soda, dry with towel and brush out...

Shoulder sounds like it is ready for surgery repacement. Cortisone did nothing for my knees, but did the trick when I had sciatica. :fl

Rehoming is probably for the best. Often when an older puppy (up to 24 mos) is offered as an LGD it is because the dog was not a good guardian prospect, the owners did not realize that they had to be proactive in training, or most important, the fences were not adequate to contain an LGD. Hard...

Did I miss that something happened to Obi?

Hope all goes well and the surgery is a success! :hugs

DS1 said Oncar came out to do the electric for the new meter. The internet people had come out and flagged their underground feed but the electric company said they knew where their lines were. So naturally while digging they cut through their own electric feed from the pole to the house. It...

Got the new ewe count from DS1 today. He said we had 42 and he was missing one. Went back through my registratin papers and counted 41. Then counted the list agai and got 43. Sent him the ist and I sent him the list of adult ewes to be bred and this am he let me know that the count was...

How is Leo doing without Hera? Is he still leaving or has he settled down more?

9 month old LGD is still a pup needing lots of training. Before buying this group, you might advertise the pup with the goats you plan to sell off. If you are not willing to put in time to train the pup, give it a pass. Most people with well trained LGDs won't sell them or have offers from...

Water is running rust red again from the well. D1 is getting a test kit to check it tomorrow. He thinks that when the tank gets to the bottom it might kick up rust. He is checking into filters. If we have to choose between a new well and a tractor I am leaning towards the well. We can drill...

Got a lot done - looks like the cow deal was good in spite of the dead cow. Too bad the cows are not ear tagged but it will get done eventually. :hugs

Certainly worth the initial pain and suffering during surgery and physical therapy to have full use again and no pain in joint. Just have to work through the first 6 months after surgery. Then a full year after for all swelling to recede and be back in shape. After that, full speed ahead...
