Hiya!
Sorry I haven't written much lately... I am sleepy! LOL I have the "even-hours" shift to check on Dash. :D
It has been a CRAZY week weather-wise! We had an incredible amount of snow and insane winds! The drifts were waist high in some places and it got down to minus 25. We usually don't even go below zero! The horses loved it though. They kept running through the snow like they were in some kind of sappy, slow motion advertisement on TV! LOL
Now, the snow has started to melt and we'll be dealing with slush for a few days. Thanks to my awesome volunteers today though, it won't be as bad as I had feared. We got a lot of the accumulated mess cleaned up and chipped the ice out of the swail so that once it starts raining, it has somewhere to go!
So, on to the list!
Magpie is doing awesome! The vet has us changing the bandages every other day now - which is terrific! She still has her great attitude toward it all - she's just a real trooper.
Ajax and Bobbysox are indeed Adopted! Their family decided that they can make it work at the facility, even if they can't share a space, but we're still very hopeful that they'll be a good match. Ajax is hanging out here until there is space at Bobbysox's current barn. They'll go home in the Spring from there, once their new barn is complete.
Hmmm.... I am watching Dash as I'm typing this and she is acting weird. She started bagging up yesterday, so it could be anytime! Hmmm....
Anyhoo, on with the list! Willow is doing terrific! She is getting tons of love, attention and some physical therapy - and it shows! She can run!
Legend has a new BFF at his foster home. There is a sweet little girl there who spends tons of time working with him. It is just magical to see! Epic and Hula are doing well too... just doing what they do.
Duchess has been Adopted by her foster family! Duke has been Adopted and is now on Vancouver Island. Friday has been Adopted by his driving trainer and is going to have a good year of training! I can't wait to see him competing! Starbright is revealing quite the personality and spunk. I am hoping her health will be improved enough by sometime in February to go up for Adoption. She's a funny old gal! LOL
Rarity and Pinkie Pie have been Adopted. Rarity will be going to live with Candy and Shindig, while Pie is going to live with Fiction! Looks like they'll be leaving on their journey to the Island at the end of next week.
Mac is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. Turns out he is likely a cryptorchid. So it is a bit more complex of a surgery than normal. We're setting up an operating table in the shop. Should be interesting - he's our first crypt out of nearly 50 surgeries!
Applejack, Twilight and little Fluttershy are doing great. They have bright eyes and lots of energy. The fillies are nearly weaned, so that should give Applejack and Twilight a bit of a break until they foal out again in the Spring. Dash should foal within the next two weeks... and as I watch her out of the corner of my eye... I think it may be sooner rather than later!
Shy and Pie!
