Things picked up at the calving shed last night… and by that, I mean, when I went down this morning to see if I could help, there were 12 new mommas and babies on hand. That meant every pen, and two outside pens had occupants. I puttered around trying to help Brandon and then Vernon…
#TBT: Part of the Circle, v.2.0
This was first posted, February 25, 2010… and how appropriate it is… once again. Each day lengthens slowly… the sun’s warmth is strengthened. Winter is eaten away by spring. Though snow may fall… it also melts. Though one life passes… another is born. The glorious blue skies fade each night to twinkling blackness which greys…
No Words and Wednesday
I knew it. I wanted you to understand the chances. I thought we were over the hump and maybe in to clear sailing. I had even mentioned it to our vet yesterday, The Good Doctor, who was pleased as punch, and just as thrilled as I was. But reality is a … well, you can…
Every Day
He’s still not great at eating from his step mom, but I try to get him to look up for his food when *I* feed him! Notice the wet curly hair on his head and neck. That means his step mom loves him and is bathing him. He also still is a slow drinker… but…
Bigger Lens
Did I ever tell you about the time I wished I had a bigger lens on my camera? Yes. Two. Actually, three. But that was in the video… Don’t you think I need a bigger lens?
Valentino Video
I’ve about given up on downloading my Live Facebook videos… so I made you a quick video today to make up for them! Enjoy Feeding Valentino!
Sorry
Talk about frustrating. They’ve changed how you download live videos from Facebook and I can’t seem to save/download them. Next time I’m going live on YouTube. Stupid Facebook. After our impromptu sledding party which turned into a home made pizza party which ended with Valentino not wanting to eat his supper… and now I’ve just…
How Is He?
Everyone wants to know… how is Valentino? Well… He’s great! There was a scary little mixup, but that was just on my part… I just came back in from feeding him, and he ate 98% of a pint, so I’m happy. Tomorrow starts a new chapter in his life… and I think I will try…
#TBT: Every Morning, v.2.0
This was first posted February 21, 2010. Every morning, most people commute to work…Work being at a desk…sitting…pushing paper…or computer keys…Every morning, Vernon walks out the door (usually at 7 am) and is on the job. Occasionally, I help, so now you get to come along and share in our work!First, we feed the cattle.You…
Wordless Wednesday: “Blue Country”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this blue country, go HERE. P.S. Valentino is still doing fine. He’s down with his mother… no longer in my mud room!
Hanging In There
Brandon stopped in to weigh Valentino today. He’s a 45 pounder! Woohoo. He’s still around… each day gives him more of a chance. I visited with my vet, The Good Doctor, who enlightened me about some things about preemie calves. His recommendations were to try some steroids, which help with the development of his GI…
Still Here
Valentino is still here. He’s a tiny little fighter. He is far from being out of the woods, though, and he gives me a roller coaster ride… is he breathing? oh, look, he wants to stand… I don’t like the sound of his breathing. Look at how bright his eyes are! I never know what…
