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
Hei Hei is the strong willed child of the chicken coop. He’s bullied by our barred rock rooster (who is actually quite nice to us) so he avoids going back in the coop at night. He also takes out his repressed anger on us so he may be stew someday in the new future.
I keep my bones healthy for chasing Hei Hei by taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture which is my go-to source of food-based vitamins A, D & K. The cod liver oil is fermented - not high heat processed - which protects the nutritional value. It saved my teeth from chronic cavities 15 years ago.

As Ben who says he has attended over 100 of them says. He stopped, because he knows rhe outcome. He seeks certification and such now, but survalence is a foregone conclusion.
