That was good timing eaa!!Congratulations.

Oh, Heidi - I'm so sorry about your peahen and ewe! And I never heard of a carnivorous horse. Is that a rarity?

Yes! Nola, I thought I lose the comment 'cause I had the dreaded ghost page pop up.

Yes, Nola. Buddy has a better social life than I do.

eaa!! Great having you back!

Carnivorous horses are a rarity, but they do exist. I have heard of others.

Once a ewe has thrown in the towel as well as shock there is little hope, what rotten luck Heidi.

Welcome back dame eaa!

Heidi, I'm so sorry about your animals. One of the hardest parts of 'farming' I guess.

That horse is strange!

Have put a few photos in 'my gallery' if you are interested. Haven't added all the info yet.

Heidi,do farmers loose lots of stock in the extreme weather conditions there?

I just attempted an experiment, and it worked! I have a 55 gal. aquarium in my foyer (visible from this chair) full of Guppies I also had a male and female Betta in there, with lots of plants and driftwood hiding places. I decided to see what would happen if I put another male Betta in it. Plenty of room and refuges. And these fish are from show stock, not fighting stock.
It took about an hour before the 2 males encountered each other. They both displayed for each other for nearly 3 minutes, then one just swam away. That's now happened a couple of times. They look like they'll be OK together.

Some horses are very territorial and wont let any animal near them and will chase the animal away with they teeth bared and look out if they catch it.

Good to be back, Suzy.

Kentucky has rather moderate weather compared to a lot of the country. We lose very few animals to anything other than cold mud. Mud will suck all the heat out of a newborn, yet snow won't. I've watched a ewe give birth in the middle of a snowbank. The lambs hop to their feet in minutes and start nursing.

Gotta go now. C ya.

Well,I will catch you all later.Gotta run.Bye.

Good morning everyone, Hope all is well

June
I hope you have a wonderful day--mmmmm lobster can I come

Heidi, I thought of you when I saw this native Tasmanian bird on eaa's photo gallery. You do love colorful birds, need to check it out!

Anyone who has not visited eaa's gallery, you are in for a treat, lovely photos of a wonderful country, lots of birds and flowers and scennery. I must go back again when I can see ALL the photos! Thanks eaa for sharing your country with me, wish I could visit, oh, how asbout for the next 4 days till it is warmer again here hehehe.

That is amazing Heidi.I thought the snow would be so cold that new borns may not survive out in the elements.Mud though..mmmmm

I'm gone this time.

HI LIZ! I never see you much now, so good you are here when I am for a change.

Well thank goodness it is a bit cooler today
typical Melbourne weather
High 30s yesterday
low 20s todat and it looks like a storm may be brewing, would love some rain..........
you should see my poor garden.............

Ta ta!

HEIDI, sad to hear you lost so many animals all of one day. It is sad anytime but 3 at once is remarkable.

Now is your horse invited to to parties to be the trash collector? Eats all the leftovers? Or is he invited as entertainment?

Jane, thanks for the invitation, wish I could come. Sounds like a lot of fun. What an anniversary that will be for you and hubby.

HI NOLA< BYE NOLA!

Hia MizT
No dont get on here much lately, just busy,
my dear Sammy has been suffering in this heat.
Thought I was going to lose him, but cooler again today, according to the forcast next week tuesday, is going to be another scorcher, so have Saturday put aside to cut Sammy's hair and give them both a bath, and wash all the bedding.

WELL LIZ, try to work us into your busy schedule! We miss you here, bunches and bunches!

I hope the haircut will help Sammy tolerate the heat. I have a neighbor who keeps a child's hard plastic ( not blow up plastic) kiddie pool for her dogs and adds just enough water for them to splash around in on really hot days. the dogs love it and it does cool them down!

Buddy gets invited as a guest! He loves being around people and< I believe, thinks he is one.

I'll try Tricia,
Have to move now get ffuts done
have a great whatever to you all

punctuation error. < =,

Hi Liz and MizT!
I have been off checking photos and changing to my new avatar... very appropriate today!

Most summer dog shows have hard plastic pools set up for dogs to cool down in. Especially the Bulldogs.

Gail - Have just had a look at your page,
the photo of your parents is beautiful.

HI SUZY, lots of hot looking sunshine there in the avatar! I would happily take a few degrees for the next 4 days. Today got to 50, not so bad. 25 again tonight, but it is Thursday and Friday that will be cold for Alabama. I think Heidi got her cold sooner, she is north of us, and the air mass did not have so far to travel to reach her!

Heidi, I did not know dog shows had wading pools for doggies, very good! Thanks for letting us know =about that. I just would not want to be nearby when they get out and shake themselves dry!

LIZ, a great whatever to you also sweetie!

if I put water down for my boys they would be about as far away from it a possible,
but I do get a washer out and wet them down a bit.
The haircut and bath will do them both good on the weekend.
Not that the bath will be easy, have to fight them the whole way, Sammy panics, so will need to be careful with him.

OH DEAR, Liz, I did not know they were afraid of water and hated baths. That will not be fun for you.

BTW, what do you mean by "a washer". Here a washer is the machine we feed our clothes into. I had this mental image of you stuffing the dogs into a washing machine, followed quickly by 2 dogs covered in suds escaping and running about your house! !

OK, I need a little help here, almost time to torn the page, but more than one CP worth. Who wants to race??

Heidi, how do you tell the difference between male and female bettas? I could probably google it, but it would be nicer to get it from someone I 'know'...

Heidi, I'm sorry to hear your animal stories. Perhaps the peahen was not 100% healthy if the horse was able to catch it? What a rough day for you!

He He Tricia
a washer is a face washer, toweling

MizT, I love your quilt. You can have a few of our degrees for sure!!!!
