Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Hot coffee and cold AC good morning!!!

Agreeable 78 out. Will get milking done and go work on hot wire fencing for a while. Got nothing done beyond minimal yesterday. So hot it was just debilitating. Finally got a decent breeze about 4 pm when a dry front came thru. Had rained itself out a hundred miles back but the air was slightly cooler and moving. Very nice.

A goat farmer friend stopped to visit for an hour on her way home -- 2hr SW in NC -- 2 of her kids & family live just 36 miles away, so I'm on the way between, only 2 miles off the path nice to see her & talk a bit. We realized we BOTH have had our farm trucks in sick bay for almost exact same time yet unresolved issues. What an annoying mess for both of us.

I'd better get outside!! Y'all have a good day.

Welp, been quite the week. Ran TheMan the 4 hr drive into town to Emergency for what looked like DVT. Urgent Care thought so but had no ultrasound so on to hospital. Thankfully after all tests, it’s not DVT but a tear in muscle. He’s supposed to keep it wrapped and use a cane until his hip is replaced. That lasted until we got home.

It always takes me a day to recover, with significant pain when we go to town. Then we had to go back on Tuesday and spend night due to back to back appointments.

Fen was a good boy. No matter how many grass strips we’d find, he never has to poop until my breakfast comes
But he waited patiently in the hospital and all the Dr offices. His new shoes arrived. The pavement is smoking hot and his other boots rub his dewclaws. Everyone cracked up at these and I had to give website to about half dozen people. They look hilarious when he sits down, and he’s convinced he can’t lay down with them on.

We had to curtail our errands because the pain was so severe I got sick so needed to check into motel and slept from 3 pm till next morning. Fen continued his surveillance, this time spying from 3rd floor window on unsuspecting Idahoans.

We are home again, and after losing 2 days to recovery, I think I can get motivating today. Need to finish stained glass piece and label hollyhocks as lots of people want seed. I would love to ride but might have to wait a couple days as not very strong yet. Head back to town on 1st. Not looking forward to it. I don’t think Fen is either. He’s a little burned out. But I’m sure he’ll manage.

I could use a coffee IV about now..

Wow - that was a week - ugh. Hope things get better and stay better soon esp so you can ride for a little again.
Cute booties on Fen! When my dogs had to work arenas setting sheep for trials I had to use booties - the only ones that stay on and didn't wear through I made from old blue jeans and a strip of velcro.
Hugs and ear rubs to Fen for being so good.

Heaven is waking up because you're done sleeping.

Somehow the need to pee seems to happen before I'm done sleeping. And once I have gone to deal with that, it is hard to get back to sleep since it is 5-6 AM even though I went to sleep 5-6ish hours prior.

Oh, TMI, sorry

What a week! Hip replacement, what kind of therapy will The Man get when it’s 4 hours away? Therapy is vitally important.

Sorry that it wore you out so badly. And y’all gotta go back in monday!

Crocs for dogs! Fen is so stylish! He puts a whole new spin on Designer Dog!

We don’t get PT because of where we live. I had to go through 2 knee replacements and a hip replacement without any. Worse, they sent me home immediately after surgery. The 4 hr drive was NOT fun. They will do the same to him.

That sucks. You are totally on your own.
