Promise Acre: Our Journey

[promiseacres]

Little lamb is thriving...6 days old!

Been dealing with our 2nd Donkey being sick, Flashy Hank, is slightly better this am...but still floored on to what is going on with him...


Got Howie buried on the property last night. MY DH is such a push over...we could of hauled him to 2 different peoples properties to be buried there for FREE yet we paid $50 (don't get me wrong it's not bad cost) to have him buried in our pasture b/c this is what DS wanted.

We have 2 leads on shelters so am HOPING DH gets on it now that we've lost a critter....

Flashy Hank in his sling, we've put him in there for a few hours at a time...we are awaiting bloodwork results...but other than he's onery (likes to dump his feed pans) nothing has changed.

Smoke the grey ewe is next up to lamb, could be any time within the next month or so....she likes to eat ALL day and is lopsided so definatly thinking we've got a lamb in there.

Spent the last 2 days moving firewood, so we are set for a while! but I think I'll be feeling it for a while.

So I just emailed this gal with this ad http://swmi.craigslist.org/grd/3511473191.html
Yes I'm horse crazy. I have a 4 yr old son and a 1 yr old daughter and now that I'm 10 minutes from a State park with great trails I WANT a trail horse!!! I haven't showed this to DH, why b/c 1) he might out right say NO and 2) he might say yes.....
There's probably a 100 reasons I don't need riding horse but it doesn't hurt to ask right? I was in 4H, rode ISHA all during college and had riding horses before my minis....got the minis b/c I didn't have any body to ride with. Now I have it in my mind that with the right horse I could put DD in a buddy seat and DS on his pony and off we'd go....

Yes I'm definatly horse crazy.

Thanks to lots of prayers Hank seems to be going in the right direction....will be calling the vet sooner than later if I don't hear about all the blood tests today.

anything yet?

 

[promiseacres]

nope...called and the gal said she'd check ....originally the vet said Sat, then called Sat am said CBC would be done but not the chemistries would take longer (nothing special), finally I left a msg Sat pm around 2:30 and got a call back about 2 hrs later about the CBC anemia/wbc were up (Dr said signs of a long term infection?) but that we shouldn't change anything til we got the rest of results. The gal said it may not be done til tomorrow? Not very happy....I worked for a vet for 9 years am very familiar on how long these things should take....(I could whip out a CBC within 20 minutes with the right equipment)


Oh and I should be out doing chores but not wanting to miss the phone call......
