As many of you know from my horse jail break post, the Producers have been dealing with some kind of stomach illness. The Exec Producer is better but our little Associate Producer was very sick last night from dehydration. We checked into the emergency room around 530P and were admitted around 11P. Jack got an IV in his scalp (watching a nurse do that tests the parenting nerves) and seems to be doing much better. He has been soaking up much needed sleep. I’m writing to update you all, as I always cherish your encouragement, but also to thank you for your generosity. When I was fired by Washington’s Dept of Natural Resources over my podcast, we lost our health insurance. Because of the support I receive here on Locals, we were able to join a cost-sharing ministry that paid for the entirety of Jack’s birth and will once again cover significant medical bills. I often say “thanks for your generosity” without naming what that really means - so please take this message as my most heartfelt gratitude that we can focus on Jack’s recovery without being concerned about how we will pay. God bless and see you soon.
It’s not Afghanistan or Iraq. It’s not explosions or gunfire. What keeps Lynn up at night? A 5-ounce chick named Rosie who is the runt of the new chick squad but makes her mighty presence known with loud chirping whenever she poops. A word to new or potential chick owners: find a place outside in the garage or barn for their brooder instead of keeping them inside. They’re louder than you’d think! Anyone else have tricks for creative spots to keep a brooder that are safe and warm?
Raise your hand if you’re the farm husband of a “low maintenance” woman who has a to-do list for you longer than Santa’s. 👋 We thank you for your service. Now get back to work on that fence.
I woke up Sunday to find that my trusty stead of 32 (almost 33) years, Sassy, had a swollen cheek with a rather hard lump. Our vet, Dr Julia Simonson, came to examine her and I thought it would be interesting for folks to hear it “right from the horse’s mouth.” Examining a horse’s mouth without sedation can be tricky but thankfully Sassy is rather tame because I harassed her so much as a kid. 🤣 We saw what appears to be an ulcer or abscess likely from some kind of cut or foreign object. No signs of infection and it is slowly healing itself. I really appreciate having a veterinarian who supports the “monitor and support nutritionally” approach, and does not intervene pharmaceutically unless she believes it’s truly medically necessary. It’s very difficult to find a vet (or a human doctor frankly) these days with this mindset.
