We rented a bouncy house for Lily’s birthday party and they accidentally brought us the expensive water slide - score for us! Lily had me up at sunrise to get in a few (30-ish) runs before the crew returns to pick it up. Time to get back to work after a great birthday week. Wednesday: Texas Slim is back to discuss DeSantis “lab meat ban” - positive or politics? Thursday: Washington state changes the definition of vaccines. Friday: Larry Sharpe has an announcement about the 2024 Presidential election. See you on the interwebs soon!
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.
I hate to admit this but we just took down our Christmas tree a few days ago, weeks after our neighbors had decorations up for Valentine’s Day. I would blame it on the farm but we have always been late getting rid of our tree. I think our record is early March. At least this year we have a free tree removal service!
For weeks the feed store has had a sign out saying “chicks coming soon!” Today we drove by it and I did a double take. “Chicks are here!” So the kids and I made a dramatic u-turn with plans to just “see” the chicks. And we did see them. In fact, we still see them because they came home with us! 🤣Whoops. We got 4 Easter eggers and 2 Olive eggers. Lynn if you’re reading this, the little buggers begged to come home with us - how could we say no?!
I remember when so-called conservatives were adamantly against the "Fairness Doctrine". Hypocrisy never ends. Cries for fairness doctrine is always a clear sign of who knows they have lost support.
I don't support any side.
