What's everybody doing today?

[Mountain trapper]

Going to the bank today and open another CD. Interest rate is only 4.22% but better than regular bank rates, plus it's only for 5 months. After we get home I want to start framing the new building. Got some 3/4" plywood to dig out of the snow and put up on the back wall. I need to call the lumber yard and see if the 1×12's I ordered last week are in.

DH did great and we are going home. Doctor said she thinks he will feel much better. Thanks for the prayers!

It's been a long day and it's only like half over! The bathtub faucet drama continues. One of the kids is sick. A little bit ago I got a call, "you want a baby goat?" Heck yes I want a baby goat. Soo.... now I have another goat in my house. This little guy is in rough shape, but we'll see what I can do. I just gave him colostrum via stomach tube, thankfully he was reasonably warm when I got to him.
I need to restock on animal feed today at some point. Dragging sick kid with me everywhere is exhausting.

 

[Magus]

nothing.

Keep us updated!!

Did next to nothing today. Only thing of note was take the garbage bin down to the highway for pickup this morning. I had 4 extra 39g lawn and leaf bags filled with renovation debris to go out. I carefully balanced them on top of the bin. I saw the truck when it stopped, they all made it, yea! The truck has one of those auto-pickup and dump mechanisms, wasn’t sure they’d all make the ride.

So far he's still not up, I'll give him some selenium and feed him again in a few minutes. I'm starting to wonder in he has a thiamine deficiency, but i'd say selenium is more likely given his age. I'm not sure exactly when he was born, it's possible he didn't get colostrum soon enough even though it was the very first thing I did. When I was at the feed store a few minutes ago I looked for B complex for him but they were out of the injectable and I feel like he's too small for the liquid. I may have to call around.

 

[LadyLocust]

nothing.

Ahh c’mon you can do better than that. Add to that-
Nothing: other than plotting a great scheme to allure alien life to the raccoons den so I have some evening entertainment.
See, now that’s a legitimate response

Is there a vet clinic that will sell you a bottle, or even a “ranch n home” type store, or some pet stores for that matter? Just trying to help from many miles away and helpless

Finished cleaning all the drawers and dividers for my 60 drawer small parts cabinet last night. Today the tedious work began. Got all my stranded wire connectors sorted by size and type along with lugs. Sorted the solid wire twist connectors then finished fuses for home, auto and systems. Working on switches and bulbs when I called it a day. Have to decide what I want stored in the bottom half of the cabinet.

Watching tv tonight.

You mean you don't just dump them in an old coffee can?

Just cleaned a million leaves from the pool. Our neighbors giant oak drops tons of leaves right into our pool. Have to clean it almost daily for several weeks until the tree is bare.

Got dark on me so I had to turn on the pool lights.

And, it's hard on my sore back and side.

That little baby is fortunate to have you!

Daughter & son in law are out of town for Christmas, so we had Christas dinner yesterday,
I had a doctor appointment today; back pain is less but not gone completely.
I was told to take Wheat Germ oil to lower the lactic acid in my back when I raise in the morning.

Light snow ..now 9f
Fire is going..feels nice

I feel tired ..did not go out
Dane Girl went for her business ..I did wipe and dry her
She had a bit of snow on her back and I did wipe her feet too
Then I gave her a treat...she was cuddly..then went to bed

Have a nice night

Festive month ..Christmas and Hanukkah

A little thought
For all of the ones who lost loved some
and now are up there watching over us
They are not really gone ... they are by our side

Flax seed oil will do the same AND has Omega 3's!!

Well. He's more talkative. He's sitting up a little, but hasn't stood yet. He pooped-- a lot! He's been tubed every 2-3 hours, getting plenty of colostrum and nutrition. He's got a heater by him to keep him toasty warm... I tried him on a bottle and he has no suckle reflex. That's not good!!! His neck isn't twisted around the way it was when I brought him home, so maybe there's hope. Still not looking good... I'll tube him again around 11pm before I crash and hope He's up and starving in the morning. There's not much else I can do.

But... He's not dead yet, and I don't see anything obviously wrong with him, so I'll keep trying.

I wish you luck, I've brought a few calves back from deaths door and have failed. It comes down to their will to live sometimes. Hope he's not to far gone...
