Here are some pictures of Sassy at a brighter time - helping out with our engagement photos. As many of you know, another vet came out Wednesday to run some tests on Sassy. While the scans were non-diagnostic, Sassy appears to be suffering from laminitis. Her condition worsened significantly on Monday but thankfully she appears to have stabilized and today was a tiny bit better. I was told Wednesday that she may only have a 10% chance of recovering at this point, but that’s enough for me. This condition often is associated with sugar in the diet so I have overhauled Sassy's feed. She is now getting special herbal tonics from Australia and medicine for Cushing's disease. We are still waiting for the results of a blood test taken Wednesday as well. Sassy is in pain but she is still eating and drinking, perky as ever, and trying to break out of the new stall we built to keep her resting. The last week has been a total whirlwind as I try to nurse her back to health while working and parenting. If we can get Sassy to hold up her leg long enough, we will attempt a special shoe. Sassy was born when I was 11-years old and has given 29 years of carrying my weight and now I am returning the favor. Some of you have asked about donating to help with Sassy's medical bills so I set up a GoFundMe. Please know, however, that if you're supporting me here you're helping too. I am so grateful for each of you - this has been a tough year but we will endure and persevere together. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-sassy-get-back-on-her-hooves?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
We just recovered 3 stolen “STOP THE CELL TOWER” signs after a young lady stole them last week. We had them up outside neighbors’ homes and one neighbor has a security camera so we caught her in the act. We filed a report and the deputy said the 17-year old walked right into her house in front of her granddad and got the signs. He said the motive is that her family is friends with the proposed cell tower property owners.
You can help us stop the tower by sending a quick email to [email protected] - tell her “I oppose the planned Blue Sky cell tower Application # CU-2026-00003. Please deny the conditional use permit.”

“What kind of farm do you have?” Im still working on that answer. My daily life is a balance between laughter and even more head scratching. It was so odd to see our male goat doing this to our cow’s face but even weirder to see her standing there taking it.
I like to keep my brain sharp, and reaction time fast, on this farm with the omega 3s in the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts which has been in my daily routine for 15 years and ended my chronic battle with cavities.

The kids mastered riding their bikes without training wheels over the weekend, so of course they had to challenge daddy to a bicycle duel. “Daddy, what tricks can YOU do?!” This is what ensued.
I like to keep my bones healthy and strong in case I fall off my bike doing tricks as someone in their mid 40s. That’s why I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture - it’s packed with food-based vitamins and minerals as well as omega 3s, made the way our ancestors did it.
