I’m so bad. I even used to clean stalls in bare feet. (In my defense, I used a LOT of shavings!) I only put boots on to work colts because spurs slip on your ankles

@Baymule , you don't have a boot jack?! I just taught the 4 year old how to use one and he's obsessed and tries to take even his sneakers off with them. Now I want to send you plain home made soap and goat milk soap and a boot jack!

@SageHill I once fixed a pair of rubber boots by melting some nylon rope & mashing it into the hole several times

Feb is usually our wettest month & this one has not 'disappointed'.
Ugh... it seems like it's rained (or snowed, or sleeted) every day for weeks.
I'm so sick of everything being cold & wet. I'm longing for July... 100° temps & crispy lawns.
(somebody remind me about this when I whine that it's toooo hot
)

I’ve had a boot Jack. Now I use the wood step at the back door. I have a boot tray in the utility room. But I’ll take you up on that goat milk soap! LOL

Yep, we've had rain here 13 days straight, including today.

I cross several major creeks on the way home. All were VERY full. A few had flooded the surrounding areas. I was having pretty bad anxiety by the time I got to my drive - worried that my little bridge would be flooded again. But thankfully all was well. The creek was up a little but not scary high.

Rivers here are out of their banks, flood plains are swift running water. Creeks are running hard. First creek crossing on my road is cut very deep, it had a beaver dam across it. Gone.

Morning started out good. Was up feeling pretty human except for pain in hands & wrists so I grabbed the DMSO, did a buncha stuff I can’t remember now, and optimistically went out to help feed. That didn’t last long. I found that instead of using the hay feeders, he’d been packing hay on bottom of the cages so 14 rabbits were covered and standing on layers and layers of sh!t.
It took me an hour to muscle it all off the cage floors and I am disgusted. I killed one for Boone, the next one I kill will be my big doe so I can split up the litter. I guess they are all gonna be dogfood. I can’t do this, and I can’t count on him to. I figured that after I spent 2 days raking under the cages because he let it build up until it hit the floors, and it messed me up for over 2 weeks, that he’d make an effort, but beyond throwing food and filking water he’s pretty useless, be it rabbits, dogs or horses.
I’m not in a good mood anymore.
