Morning All!

Thought I'd start the post today, although no foals yet!!!

Raining here today, but due to brighten up later

Hope everyone has a good day, and will see you all later

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Its grim here, hopefully the sun will come back out, looking soo forward to schooling Dollop later

Is that weird? lol

See you later!!

 

[f_s_]

Not weird at all D_L, hope it is great!!

Look forward to a report about it all later!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Morning!!

Just back from vets with Sweep - off to work in the rain......

See you later - have a nice day!!

 

[scotsmare]

Rainy here and cold

Weather is resembling autumn outside but it will apparently get better

When are next foalies due?

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Has brightened up here now!!

Do any of you know about neds with ulcers??

Am off to walk pooches - they are driving me nuts!!!

But the good news is that my Sky+ box arrives next week

and the bad is that Sweep has to have an operation.....

 

[samstar]

Hi all

Brightened up now down in village but up on the hill with the horses you can't see more than 20ft in front

 

[f_s_]

Evening All!

Brightened up her too, and turned into a reasonable day after all!!!

Slinky - don't know much about ulcers, but, aren't they caused by stress/feed/training etc. Think they have to scope to find them though. Apparently, more grazing, and a more natural management helps. I always though windsucking and cribbing was a sign of gastric ulcers in horses but I could be wrong!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Evening!!!

Back in for the evening - everything has been fed and watered - so just need to get the wine out and I can settle down for the night!!!

TV is pants - bloody football!!!

How is everyone else today??!

 

[f_s_]

Hi Slinky - so red or white, I'm just about to open a bottle!

Got to take one of my dogs to the vet tomorrow, she has a really funny dry patch on her side??? Took her to the vet two weeks ago, but the vet was hopeless! and it's still there!!

Day not too bad, weather improved as the day went on, but quite windy here!!

 

[Vickey]

Evening Samstar, Slinky and FS..

I have been trying to ween myself off HHO, especially after we all got locked away, so i did as my therapist told me and took lots of exercise and it made me sleep most of the weekend, lots of running and riding. I did go on some of the other threads on here too and they upset me! There are some really nasty people out there that think the worst of people! I just dont wanna get involved with all that stuff..

So is everyone well, I am peed off with this weather that we have had the last two days

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Weather same here!!

due to get better tomorrow though - and the weekend is due to be blistering!!

Any wine will do today!!

Had to take mutt to vets this morning - has got to have op - nothing serious but you just know it will be about 500 quid.....

licence to print money *mutter mutter...*

Is it her skin thats dry??

 

[f_s_]

Oh no! Poor dog...and poor bank balance!!

I swear the small animal vets just don't know what to charge! £30 for a tube of blasted cream that didn't work, was horrible and ineffective!!

Her skin is really dry, asked vet if it was mange, but no, as it would have transfered to the others! So, after telling vet I would wash in malaceb (she said yes) put awful cream she gave me on...still there!!.

I am thinking of putting some Imaverol on her just to see!

Red wine coming your way!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Thanks for the wine!!

I would be tempted to try some aloe juice in your dogs food - I find with all sorts of things it works better than most of the very expensive tubes and ointments from the vet - and best of all you can keep using it forever if need be as there are no side effects - except getting rid of smelly farts in dogs which I would say is a selling point!!

Sweep will be going on a pre-op course of aloe vera and will stay on it post op to help him heal quickly and cleanly.

Fancy some Walkers Sensations Cheddar crisps??

 

[samstar]

slinks your making me feel peckish now, am trying to stop nibbling while at puter

Go on - you know you want one.....

 

[f_s_]

Go on then..they sound lovely!!!

I'm going to get some Aloe juice, I've got to go and pick up some brewers yeast from the health food shop tomorrow, so I'll get some then

They should have some shouldn't they?

I'm a bit fed up tonight, so the crisps are lovely...thanks!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Yes they should have

- the plain one should be fine - mine aren't fussy eaters and just trough anything.....

More wine?? Is a nice bottle of Rioja if anyone would like....

 

[samstar]

Go on - you know you want one.....




well just the one then, thanks

 

[f_s_]

Do you get Aloe juice in different flavours then?

If you do, wonder which one mine would eat.....meat flavour...or crisp favour??!!!

Plain will do nicely...she'll just have to put up with that!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hehe!!

Yes the flavours are for wussy humans.....

 

[f_s_]

How much do you feed?? and is it bitter?

Just wondered, as I'll mix it with something to get it in her if you don't have to feed loads

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I give mine a capful - thay usually come with a little measuring cap attached - twice a day which is 25mls a time. I have had it too and it has a funny taste but not that bad - and none of my animals have ever not eaten because of it - but then to all of them death is the only thing that would stop them eating

.....My dogs (and my friends dogs that had it) just have it poured over their biscuits (they have Skinners or JWB) and eat it.

 

[sea_view]

Hey all, how are we this evening? Just in from school concert - I am so tired its unreal - any goss? ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

 

[f_s_]

Evening S_V

Forgot to say good result for Rangers!!

Things pretty normal here, still waiting for new mare to come online so we can all foal watch again!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Not really - we are just waiting for our last victim to be stabled....

How is the job hunting going?? What happened to the one that you were interviewed for - have you heard yet?

And how is Risky getting along??

Wine for you?

 

[sea_view]

Hey all - Cheers F_S was very pleased about Rangers!!!

S_U Job hunting is on going as Scottish teaching jobs are so few and far between that we won't hear until the summer holidays - waiting for people to retire - so I need to keep applying adn applying - I must admit I'm losing the will to live.

Risky is coming along well, vets are delighted with him so far however he is getting a bit of cabin fever!!!!

Wine - why absolutely

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Large glass of wine on its way!!

Job hunting can be soul destroying can't it??

As for dead mens boots....where I work is a bit like that - I'm just worried that I am now one of the boots some young whippersnapper is trying to fill.......

Good news about Risky though - fingers crossed he keeps on mending!!

And I'll tell Inca to have a word with him about box rest - that little monkey had it down to a fine art - was waited on hand and foot and accepted cuddles when lying down....

 

[f_s_]

Good news about Risky, sounds like he's doing really well

 

[sea_view]

Sure is good news, feeling more hopeful for sure! Anyhoo, I'm heading to my pit, way too tired tonight! And that we glass of wine has finished me off

Night all
