appaloosa 239's herd journal

[appaloosa 239]

It was somewhat better today then yesterday,'cause it wasn't raining, but it was still cold. The animals haven't made a sound all day, except for those Australian Shepherd dogs barking. ( I actually hate dogs. Don't get mad-spend a day in my hooves and you'll understand why.) We tried doing cleaning Tanka's feet, but he is IMPOSSIBLE!!! He got me so mad with his constant antics and stubbornness that I had to leave. Maybe he'll get better. Maybe....
And it was not only cold outside, and Tanka being a nuisance, but--apparently BYC just got closed down for improvement. No warm weather, no good horse, no BYC. Maybe it'll get better...

I was in charge all day today! And boy does Tanka eat a lot! Gets hay every two hours. And that's all that has happened today, except for BYC reopening and a little subscription trouble.

Perhaps Tanka was having a bad day him self. And by the sounds of it , today was better.

( Sorry to not update the journal sooner, I just haven't been on here in a while. )

Well, basically, nothing has happened, except for more putting up with Tanka's foolishness, buying more pretzels for the herd, and doing the regular routine.
And you wouldn't believe that I'm over here in NC sweating to death and December.
I hope it doesn't get cold anytime soon, because then all the horse owners know what that might mean-collic.

It was rainy today. Super rainy. It began when I was outside this morning, feeding my rabbits, and then- BANG! The rain comes outta nowhere. And of course, the goats scurry into the stable, and Tanka scurries out of the barn. What am I to do with him? I've been feeding him hay in the barn but he just will not stay in it during the rain!

Its been raining all day, its warm, and there's a pond in my front yard right now. The geese are having a swim. Tanka is just bad. That's all he is. Bad. he still won't go into the barn! He is impossible!
;( What am I to do with him?!

Tanka has had a case of diarrehea ( don't ask why, maybe because we temporarily switched from organic to inorganic apples?) but it seems to have cleared up. it's very cold, i think it is going to snow-- yay! Tanka likes to eat the snow. He can be funny.

Nice to see someone is enjoying the snow. I am sick of it.

It is very cold here right now-at times less than 20 degrees. Had to bring the rabbits inside and Tanka is getting heated water all day long because water freezes easily these past few days. It's not that cold today though. The goats find somewhat warmth in standing in the sunny part of their paddock. Still crossing my fingers it snows...which is very possible. Don't even believe the meteorologists anymore. They seem to always be wrong about the weather.
January 8, 2014!
P.S. Hope y'all have a happy 2014!
