High Desert Cowboy- How far is it up north?

[CntryBoy777]

I don't blame ya @Mini Horses ....but I certainly understand the convienence of having it handy....so remove it, but hide it so it will be "handy" for those that are "in the know".....

Um Mini, is there more to this story?

He's on "suspension" from use. I have the key. Don't mind lending it BUT, wanted to use it and just not there. Set me back 2 days. Wasn't happy & let him know. Inconsiderate kid.

He wasn't raised that way.

He wasn't raised that way.

There seems to be no age limit on brain farts! Kids....

So back at the end of September I had a lead on some dorper ewes for a good price, when I was suddenly stricken with intense, constant pain. Some tests and scan later, it was decided I needed surgery and have been down for a month. I’m on the mend toward 100%, but I haven’t been on as I haven’t really done anything with our little spread besides sit up in bed a remind my wife everyday that the horses get three way and alfalfa, the sheep get three way, and Alfalfa will only eat alfalfa and by golly somebody better be checking for eggs! The day I came home from the hospital it was to the news that some dang dog had wandered onto the property and my son had failed t closed the chicken coop up. Two chickens were left, and one wasn’t likely. Again and again I asked about the other three, being told that they were no where to be found. The next day, one appeared in the yard. The following day, the other two were found hunkered in the window well.
My first act upon being up and about again was to turn Shaun in with the ewes. I wasn’t going to have lambs in February again,March can be miserable, April can go either way but I can’t figure on waiting too much longer. As to more ewes, we’ll see what’s left when the hospital sends the bill

You have had a rough go! Sure hope that things have turned around for you!

 

[Baymule]

Wow, I sure hope you are ok now! I know it has driven you out of your mind, having to stay in bed, do nothing, and recuperate. How crazy did you drive your wife?

Mr. @High Desert Cowboy,

Boy, you have had a rough time lately! I hope your recovery continues to go well.

If I read your story correctly, it seems that all of your chickens have been accounted for. If so, that is a good thing! Your wife needs a medal for her having picked up the pieces while you were bedridden. Maybe you can treat her to her favorite restaurant, or maybe buy her some nice pajamas, or whatever she wants.

We have had a rough time lately. My wife commented that for the last several years it seems like every time things start to get good and we get ahead a little something happens. But trials give us a chance to grow, and apparently the good Lord figures I’ve got lots more growing to do.
My wife was a trooper, but we also got a lot of help after the first week, my mom flew back from Oklahoma to help out with the kids and house on the nights my wife works. Between the two of them everything was covered. But I did drive my wife a little crazy, especially when I’d try to get up because I wanted whatever needed doing done right! It made it worse that I couldn’t see anything from my window. I think a remodel is required, so I can build a master suite that looks at my animals

wow! I'm glad you caught whatever it was before it got even worse. Best wishes for continued healing.
