I’m glad the surgery went well, now you have to be patient and heal up. Do exercises to build up strength but be careful and don’t overdo it. Did they offer physical therapy? Or give you any kind of exercises to do for your recovery?
What breed is this big dog?
With my Anatolians, livestock guardians, I must have some semblance of control. Large powerful, stubborn, independent working dogs, with no training, they can be wild. They do not do tricks, are not food or treat motivated. They want praise. I have taught them basic...
Friday morning I cleaned out the trailer and put it back in the holding pen. I put food, water, her blanket and her back in the bridal suite, Ozel seemed relieved to be back “home”. I needed to feed the horse, didn’t want to run the gauntlet of 30 starving sheep, so I closed them up in the small...
Ozel took a tour of South Texas, she was less than impressed. She rode in the backseat, AC blowing, comfy on her blanket. Once I got to Corpus Christi, I walked her, put her in her traveling bridal suite, fed and watered her.
Ozel was definitely out of heat. Couldn’t even get Taco the weiner...
We are supposed to get rain Thursday. We need it badly, it has been so dry. Naturally I'll be coming back from Corpus Christi dragging a trailer with a horse in it, a 6 hour trip, maybe 7 hours if the weather is bad. I avoid Houston like the plague and take back roads and hit Highway 59 on the...
Friends went home Sunday. They left Ozel here and will be back the first week of December. The hope is that she will come back into heat and consummate her love with Buford. Ridgetop and I came to the conclusion that moving her right before the peak of her cycle threw her out of heat and...
My friend and I tried for days to put the two dogs together for making puppies. They showed a little interest and we got excited!
Our excitement quickly faded away as they got utterly bored with each other and laid down, far apart.
Our claim is the dogs DROVE US TO DRINKING!!
I got the meat processed, vacuum sealed and in the freezer. Wednesday friends brought their female Anatolian that was in heat, to be bred to my male. Leaving her farm and going to a strange place upset her and she just kinda stopped things. She was SUPPOSED to go into ready to breed heat, but...
My neighbor Kyle came over yesterday to help me process 3 lambs. I have never processed lambs, not in 10 years of owning sheep. I always took them to be processed. I just couldn't do it. Kyle put a 22 in the back of their head, one at a time. We put the lamb in the tractor bucket, because we...
I went in the room yesterday afternoon to clean the ceiling fan, that the modem in in. It was all lit up! I ran to my laptop and the internet was on! I'm guessing that the technician was able to fix it at the box out at the road.
I have to say that I have enjoyed the past 2 days of not having...
SIL canceled PT this morning, she didn’t feel good. Ok, I’m back on trying to get something out of my internet provider. The company I was with must have sold out, I get someone with a thick accent that I only half understand. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday and still didn’t get an...
My sister in law had 5 doctor appointments last week. It's a 100 mile round trip from my house to hers, to Lufkin, then back again. I was exhausted. Then on Wednesday, I went to the feed store and got 1,104 pounds of feed in a super bag. I scooped it out into 5 gallon buckets and dumped in six...
