Weatherly, my 4 year old Morgan filly, was getting to be too much for me under saddle as we were getting started this year- lots of inappropriate behavior so I backed her back to square one and called in a trainer whose methods were aligned with what I wanted to accomplish - going bitless, being...

Calliope crossed the Bridge on July 4th...it was warm here but even with plenty of ventilation and water, I found her passed on when I got home from work... a little wet about her mouth and her ears were blue...she looked like she was sleeping... she had been pooping, eating and drinking...

Brielle, my orange Holland Lop doe lost her first litter and I rebred her after she had some time to recover. She had five babies two days ago, another baby yesterday and another one today! We lost one peanut and I cannot feel any more inside. The babies are small in size but eating well and...

Freedom is a very special horse to me - I knew her from her first kick in the womb to her dystocia delivery (talk about suspended from one life to another and not moving and the vet would not have arrived in time to save her - hence her name as I was able to get her free to be able to be...

I see the surgeon's PA tomorrow for the results of my MR arthrogram... and to see what exactly she'd like to do to my wrist to fix it since it is the right one and I am right handed... One of these days I am going to be bionic like the Six Million Dollar Man or the Bionic Woman... they were...

I bred my broken black Holland Lop Juno to my orange buck Andy Rautins... took a look at the four surviving kits... There is A solid black A very light colored solid tort A broken darker tort And a color I have never seen before - the rabbit is a solid blue color like the blue on...

First: It stinks getting old - have to have a knee arthrogram (MRI with contrast) due to chronic knee problems and my snowboarding adventure back in February resulted in a fall where I went forward - didn't think much of the pain at first but it was not going away, is getting worse and when my...

Dad got his angel wings about an hour ago... I woke up to the sound of rain and my brother-in-law came in that moment to tell me he passed... the hospice nurse just came to confirm it. Thank you to all who kept Dad and my family in your prayers - it means a lot. :group: Denise

My horses had their annual visit from their veterinarian, who they normally love and surround... even after getting their vaccines. It was pouring two Fridays ago here so everyone was in their respective stalls/run in sheds. Problem one - no herd support. Nefertiti was good and she is...

After dealing with the loss of Remy this morning, I cleaned cages and fed/watered everyone. Lenka's almost two week old kits were venturing out of the nestbox to find her - even with their eyes not open yet (10 days old)...they would stalk her, crawl under her and nurse... the sight of kits...

My turn for a visit to the Rainbow Bridge... I lost Remy, my blue Checkered Giant senior buck... no illness, no distress that I could see other than he was "quieter" than normal... he binkies in his cage and is always nose pressed to the wire for a noserub or some parsley. Binky free big...

He is in a lot of pain... cannot eat... was throwing up all day yesterday... the oxycodone is no longer working and my sister was calling hospice to see about a morphine drip...she said he walks with a shuffle now and his mouth is open and his speech is not goodbut he still is joking around and...

I am... along with Checkered Giants Calliope, Grace, Remy and Jared and Hollands Jemima (new junior doe), Segal (naughty rabbit from Rochester) and Axel... had Calliope on my running table and she got the idea to move... Remy just doesn't get "run" - he is a handsome rabbit and prefers to...

I am planning on attending - at least with 4 Checkered Giants and not sure on the Hollands... look for a shy redhead and that will be me! Will see if I can drag my son along as well... those cages get heavy! Anyone else going? Denise

I am off to the barn to clip Mercy and get her ready for her TV appearance at our humane society's annual telethon. We are trying to raise 205,000 this year... Mercy HATES being clipped - in her mind there are things she could be eating... she is all about the food. They had a beautiful...

I had a call this week from someone looking for a Checkered Giant... for a five year old child. The caller explained that he/she spoke with three other people who suggested other breeds as Checkered Giants can be "mean." I know of people with young kids who showCheckered Giantswith parental...

Benn came back from Aruba and his camera was stolen... I palpated Roxanne a few weeks ago and not feeling anything (I am better at palpating my Hollands) and today would have been her due date. I truly did not think she caught. Today she was carrying around straw in her mouth, looking...

Orange junior doe Brielle playing peekaboo More Brielle Hope - not a good shot of her. She was more interested in dinner. Thanks, Denise

Juno has a nestbox with six live kits by WR's Segal... despite having a broken x broken litter, I have three solid blacks (?), and three broken torts upon first glance - (no charlies but one is missing its nose butterfly, I think...). Can that happen - broken to broken producing solids? I guess...

Axel's first GC leg arrived in the mail from the Rochester show - and it is my first leg that I have ever had a rabbit earn! Denise
