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
Our truck tailgate is busted and won’t go down, so unloading 100lbs hay bales yesterday was a little more challenging. Not to mention, Jack hid my hay hooks. That said, I decided I earned an extra slice of fresh-milled bread! If you want to be strong like an ox, get yourself some of the great prducts sold by Green Pasture - including the cod liver/butter oil we take daily for dental, gut and immune health. The skate oil is also great - and was recommended to me by someone who said it significantly helped with her nightly sleep. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at checkout!

Sassy’s dentist came to our farm in her super cool mobile office. She had some sharp edges smoothed down but otherwise got a glowing report. The file Dr. Darrow used is apparent made of diamonds? I think I’m remembering that correctly. Only the best for my best bud! Sassy still has all of her teeth at 33, which is like 93 for a human. She must take the cod liver/butter oil from Green Pasture! If you want teeth at 93, go get some. Don’t forget to use “ALISON” as your promo code at checkout for 10% off.

I walked out around dusk to find our rooster, Hei Hei, in the mouth of a fox after what appeared to have been quite a struggle on his part. I sprinted as fast as I could, yelling like I was on fire, and the fox let go. Miraculously, Hei Hei walked away, though he lost quite a few feathers. It took him less than 12 hours to go back to sneak attacking me. No good deed goes unpunished! If you’re fighting off foxes, gain that extra few seconds for help to come by taking your cod liver/butter oil! https://www.greenpasture.org/ Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off. It’s great for mind, gut, stamina and immune system. Plus, there are all kinds of great products on Green Pasture’s site.
