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
Margarita is one of our dairy goats. We recently gave her what we thought was an excellent opportunity at date night but she was less than grateful. Pete however was very happy!
Healthy pregnancy means keeping mama healthy - and as an older mom I take my daily dose of fermented cod liver oil / concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture for its omega 3s and vitamins A,D &K. It ended my lifelong battle with cavities and is genuinely great food-based source of nutrition. You get 10% off with promo code "ALISON" at checkout. https://greenpasture.org/
Have you ever read the insert that comes with your cell phone? Longtime investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson told me she remembers getting her first cell phone with a warning not to hold it next to her head. Decades later, she checked and the warning came with her latest cell phone.
Omega 3s are a great way to give your body fuel to fight oxidative stress like what’s caused by RF radiation. It’s one reason I take a daily dose of the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts - it saved my teeth from chronic cavities years ago.

We got back late and knew we were close to chicken predation time. My best idea was to tell the kids to run screaming toward the back pasture. We didn’t lose any animals so maybe it worked? At least it looked funny. I’m sure the neighbors were a little bewildered - or not because we are probably already known as “those neighbors”. 😂
Anyway, you gotta have teeth to scream “GIT OUTTA HUR” at foxes and coyotes so go get that fermented cod liver / concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture! It healed my chronic battle with cavities. It’s also packed with anti-inflammatory omega-3s. We take it every day. It has been part of my daily routine for 15 years.
