Enough Rain

Levi II won't eat his meds so tonight Jim gave him both a pain shot and an antibiotic. What a good boy he(Levi) is.(OK Jim is good, too.) Levi let Jim know how much his foot hurt, then stood so still while he got his shots. Jim gave Levi a big hug, then Levi went over and kicked Rosie. I guess he figured he'd be nice to the guy with the needle.
Quest was in the barn so I closed him in a stall to stay dry. Boy, was he mad at me. He wouldn't eat his dinner, but he stayed in any way.
Then Callie came in. Her broken knee really pains her when it is cold and wet. If she is still so sore tomorrow we'll give her some pain meds, too. She got locked in also.
The back of the barn is open on the yard side, so Bucky and Juan, then Babe and Lacey wandered in. They all ate inside, but didn't get closed in.
The donkeys came to the front of the barn, but didn't stay.
Some of the horses had the shivers tonight. Rain and cold on May 31. Who woulda thunk it? They warmed up with a double feeding of hay.
We meet great people with wonderful jobs. The State of California has a Department of Rehabilitation with vocational counselors. They have offices in Oroville and Yuba City. If you know someone with special needs, call either 530-822-4570 or 530-538-7301 to see if they qualify for this great service.
Didn't get to the Thrift Store today as a friend needed an emergency visit to the Doctor. Will try to get in Thurs.
Rained today with more predicted for tomorrow. Everyone is getting cranky.
We need some warm sunshine to toast our bones. I know by July I'll be complaining about the heat, but right now we need sunshine. We have mud, mud, mud.
Thank you to all who help Home At Last. Your donations, support, donated items and kind words keep us going.
