Alright... I really should be going to sleep, but I know you want to know what's been going on lately!
Let's see, where to start?
Plum has been Adopted! His antics caught the eye of a gal into Clicker Training and so he's gone and settling into his new home. Here's a shot of him caught mid-antic before he left! LOL
In Foster Care... I saw Storm yesterday actually and he looks FABULOUS! I really need to get current pictures of him - he is looking SO much better with much of his extra weight dropped now! He seems very content there and has a Mini buddy and a full-size buddy sharing his paddock.
Robin Hood continues to improve. He will be ready to go by the summer at the latest I think. His pending Adoption has fallen through, so he is not currently spoken for.
Hula is loving life up in the Valley. I will be visiting her soon, hmmm - maybe tomorrow, and I'll take some pictures of her. She is just relaxing and getting healthier every day.
Let's see... who's in the Paddocks? I'll start back to front.
Bobbysox is still walking better and better, becoming fitter and fitter every day. He's building muscle and putting on some weight. It's finally warm enough that he doesn't have to wear a blanket and he LOVES that! LOL He is getting massage therapy to help him out as well.
Cooper has been quite ill. His original bloodwork showed a likely high worm load. We had the vet's recommendation of a gentle wormer, but it still hit him hard when the worms were killed. He was quite chipper through it all, but had two weeks of the nickname "Pooper" rather than "Cooper"! He is now on meds and I am doing a purging regime under the vet's close watch. We ran his blood again last week and his levels are all still good, no problem with electrolytes etc. He just needs to get all of the parasites out and heal up.
Here's a picture of Bobbysox and Cooper. They are still getting along well. Cooper is the only one who can handle Bobbysox's complex personality! LOL
In the "BIG" paddock, we currently have Oreo, Jupiter, Mulligan and Rhapsody. Jupiter and Mulligan are doing fine and dandy as always. Rhapsody is enjoying his life and doesn't even realize that he's letting me closer and closer every day as I'm out there doing routine chores. I can walk right past him now without him batting an eyelash, let alone running for the farthest corner. I'm quite pleased with this.
Oreo had her teeth done. They were pretty bad, including two spikes that were boring into her top gums. But, she's much better now and is scheduled for another go around in a few weeks to finish up. Then, she'll be good to go. She is a real sweetheart around kids and adults, but runs a tight ship and bosses Jupiter and Rhapsody around! LOL
In the "Appletree" paddock, we have Blizzard and Tuffi. Blizzard had his teeth done and will be good to go any day now. We just like to hold onto them for a month minimum usually to make sure nothing crops up with their health from moving. He went for his first walk the other day and insisted on being in the lead both ways! He wants to get out there and do things! I'd love to see him go to a driving home!
Tuffi is doing great too. I want to hang onto her for a bit more to check for improvement with her feet, but she should be ready to go in April sometime. (She had some strange bruising going on mid-hoof and I want to be sure it's solved with the hoof angle change.) Kristie got some lovely pictures of her a little while ago...
And last, but not least, we have Triumph and Samwise in the "Goatside" Paddock.
Triumph was gelded on Tuesday and he's recovering just fine. He and Samwise are getting along famously, he's actually teaching the old man how to play! LOL Samwise has healed up very nicely from his operation and we're just waiting for his second dental appointment in April before he will be put up for Adoption.
Here is a lovely picture from Kristie of Samwise...
