A little sumthin' called THURSDAY NIGHT

This was our Thursday night. Me, Furry Husband, Divine Ms. K, Big M (of Big M and Little M) and the new boyfriend for us to scope out. Once Little M was in bed, the wine started flowing and before you know it, 5 of us drank 7 bottles of wine. New rule - 1 bottle per person because we are obviously not mature enough to have access to more.

I crawled into my spinning bed at midnight while Furry Husband went out to move irrigation water and pour the cooled pasteurized milk into gallon jugs for the babies breakfast in the morning. Not sure how he did all that?

Ads are out for our goats - selling a couple milkers as well as most of the kids. We will focus on having Lamanchas only - it's harder to have two breeds I think. Have to know even more bloodlines. And for whatever reason, the Lamanchas are the dairy goat breed that clicks with me. It's really hard tho' to sell the adults. After all you formed a relationship with that animal because you milk her twice a day - you know her personality and they are good producers - not like I'm selling them cuz there is something wrong with them. Hoping we get good calls and good homes for our goats!

Also, we had bad wind here today. The biggest gust registered at 71 mph today around noon. (Furry Husband is a weather geek and he got a weather station with software that reads/tracks conditions outside)

When we got home Sera's left eye was swollen shut and eyes aren't something you should wait around on. I called horse vet number one on the emergency pager... 10 min passed with no call so on to horse vet number 2... again, no response from the emergency page after 10 min and on to horse vet number 3... no luck there either. FINALLY talked to CSU vet hospital and tried one more horse vet nearby. They answered and were able to give me advice which was good cuz it was 10pm by the time I got a hold of them!

Dose her with 1000lbs of banamine to relieve pain and help reduce swelling. Because there is no tearing or pus, there is probably not anything in her eye anymore. However, there is probably an ulcer due to something being in her eye at one point so first thing in the morning a vet needs to come over to stain the eye, determine the damage and we can begin treatment. With the wind we had today I guess I'm lucky that all three horses didn't have both eyes swollen shut.
