Our newest arrival came yesterday. He's an older Arabian who is a real lover. We put him in the upper herd, but that only lasted one day. Today he is in the back yard with all the rest. I think that makes 20 in the back . We have a garden of equines.
He loves everyone, except at food time. Then he only loves Callie, Rosie and AnnaBelle.
Dr Darling will be here on Thursday and there will be check-ups all around.
The mama Banties had abandoned a chick. I brought it in, made it a toasty bed in a box and kept it in the bathroom. Rice in socks were heated as were wash clothes to keep it warm. Eyedropper feedings were frequent, but the little one died today. Life is precious. Even a little chick's.
Teddy continues his ramblings. The whole back yard herd gets along remarkably well.
Feeding time does involve some shoving, pushing, squealing. and an occasional kick. For the uninitiated it can be a dangerous time. We only let a couple of people who have been with us a long time help with this chore. They know where to be and not to be.
Looking forward to Larry from Wilson's Worms to get here and remove the manure and straw. That should help with the flies.
Sunday is volunteer day. We are going to another friend's house. They foster two ponies. They also raise Gypsy Vanners. Should be a great day.
Sat Aug 6 from 10-2 we will be at Oroville Tractor Supply Company. It is their Pet Appreciation Week. Teddy will be our ambassador. Come on out to Feather River Blvd. and say Hi.
Have you visited the Thrift Store yet? This Sat we are going to get some more wonderful things for the store. Don't miss out. 611 Walnut Chico. Closed Mon.
