Try Try Again

Yesterday my computer had blog demons. We'll see if we get through tonight.
Yesterday Mac had a tumor on his eye removed-again-. He is doing fine. What a good old dog.

There was a fire behind us. At first we thought someone was burning, but when the fire engine showed up we guessed it was serious.

Maggie B, Sugar, Poey, Julian and Banjoe got all their inoculations and wormings. It may have been the first time for Sugar and Maggie B and they are in their 30's!!!!

We built a squeeze to contain the wild little critters. that way they could get their shots and no one got hurt.

Stay back, boys.

It was hard for Dr Darling and Aaron to work on Sugar, even after sedation. Mules and hinnies are tough little critters.

Julian says, "I'll help."

Zoe helped Kelly get the records straight.

Wherever you looked there were calves. They were a BIG help. They ate Kelly's hair, her jacket and tried to eat the doctor's medicine.

Sugar was feeling the effects of the sedatives. She was zonked!!!!

Posey was woozy, but she got her feet done , wormed and all her shots.

Tiger Lily and Bobbie were checked. Their teeth are fine.

Tess needed some work. Aaron held Tess while Dr Darling and Kelly got the dental work place ready. Tess really missed her friends and was wound up.

Tess had an abscessed tooth that had to come out. Maybe now she will gain some weight. She missed Amira and Marnie even while heavily sedated.

Kelly took good care of her.

Then Tawnee from HorsePlus Humane Society showed up with 4 wonderful new friends. Didn't get a picture of Jumbo as he came out. He's a buckskin draft mustang cross. I love buckskins.

Here is Buckeye. He has a club foot that has been operated on. He's a little spooky, but is supposed to love children.

This is Sugar II. Isn't she beautiful? I love buckskins.

This is Ginger. She is beautiful. My first horse was a buckskin quarter horse mare named Pet. I love buckskins. Did I mention that?Dr D did an evaluation of everyone. They are up to date on all their shots. Why is this blue? Here are Buckeye -now Buck-, Jumbo- now Bo-, and Sugar II and Ginger. They are settling in nicely. Bo is friendly, but the girls and Buck prefer to be left alone. I think it's funny that we have 3 buckskins, but the one named Buck is a dark bay pony.

Today we medicated the ones who needed it. We are watching Moon Dancer's remaining eye. Hopefully, we won't have to remove it, too.

Worked at the Thrift Store for a while. There is a great article in the Chico Enterprise about the store. Helen and Ron have worked so hard and it looks it.

Tawnee brought lots of tack so our store will horse items, too. More volunteers needed. Check the website homeatlastthrift.com for an application. Hours will be Mon-Sat 10-4 and Sun 12-4 Closed Monday.
Thank you Christina and Carla for your donations and HorsePlus for your continued support.

Running rescues and sanctuaries is hard work. When there are good friends to help it makes all the difference.
