The weather here has been pretty fickle--warm one day, cold and rainy the next, back to warm and rainy. Such is winter-into-spring I suppose. And good news about the lambs! I'm glad that all worked out. I love sheep and dream of having sheep. One day! Take good care. xoxo Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952281089599117206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-20215039177195700702020-03-20T12:49:52.026-07:002020-03-20T12:49:52.026-07:00Yes, Elaine, I suspect Poppy will USE that atrophi...Yes, Elaine, I suspect Poppy will USE that atrophied little twig of a leg, and that's a good thing, though painful to watch as it was for you guys with Meatball. Bulldogs have "a leg in each corner" – and need all four!<br /><br />Mama Pea, no, I really can't imagine Poppy being more of a tornado than she already is. And I totally agree about pulling weeds; besides, I HATE hoeing. Getting Brian to do more may be beyond my ability; yesterday I had the leverage of grades – "you don't do the chore I assigned you for your 'community service' and I won't email your teacher that you did your requirement." I never would have DREAMED of defying my parents, but my son has no such reservations. 😞<br /><br />I'll check it out, Wisps!<br /><br />YOU tell him, Goatldi; maybe he'd listen to you!<br /><br />I used to have to weed for my folks, too, Jeanne – plus a lot of other tasks! Never milking, though; we didn't have any dairy animals.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-75295638452799663732020-03-20T08:40:18.429-07:002020-03-20T08:40:18.429-07:00That's great about those beautiful lambs!

Praying that all will go well.<br /><br />I hope you can keep Brian working in the garden. I used to have to do that for my parents. My sisters had to milk cows (by hand) I was thankful to escape that!<br /><br />Have a great day!Jeannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-15607999757397480452020-03-20T08:21:40.620-07:002020-03-20T08:21:40.620-07:00Tell that boy to put on some clothes.

Oh, my.<br /><br />Keep Brian working on the garden. Those darn weeds will only get bigger and stronger. I know not many other gardeners agree, but I've always found it much easier to get down on my hands and knees and pull the weeds out by their nasty little roots than trying to use a hoe.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-33759222940773759162020-03-20T04:26:09.163-07:002020-03-20T04:26:09.163-07:00Thinking about Poppy after the cast comes off remi...Thinking about Poppy after the cast comes off reminded me of my first grand dog, Meathead, an English Bull Dog. He had to have surgery on a rear leg. The day after surgery my son and I went to pick Meaty up from the vet. Before going in, we noticed a few dogs being led out of the back door - to pee. They all have had surgery and some had surgery on a leg. They were walking on 3 legs holding the surgical leg up. Then Meaty limped out walking painfully on 4 legs but walking. It hurt us to watch but he made it out and back. <br /><br />When we went into the office to get Meaty the vet told us - he wanted all his surgical patients to walk on 4 legs but dog often will avoid using the surgical leg for longer than necessary. But poor Meaty, he was never designed by nature to use only 3 legs - he was force to use all four - being a bull dog. He will heal faster than the others.<br /><br />Poppy was designed by nature to run!!! on all four!!! - only because she can't sit still for long - and will probably have no patience for hopping around on 3 legs. I suspect she will do just fine.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.com
