Brief Blurp
Chris is off this week, and thus I am nearly non-existent on the 'net because I have better things to do than dink on the computer. Actually, I usually have better things I could be doing than dink on the computer, but there's less of an ability to fall into it's glowing trap of time-sucking doom when there's someone else about in the house.
Z continues to grow. Her backside is rather massive and certainly showing her drafty heritage. She's nearly 300lbs now and just shy of 45" tall (at the withers, her croup has been past that for a while). She's doing well getting her feet handled and is leading somewhat well, but still needs quite a bit of polishing, especially if I plan on taking her to the draft show this winter.
Panda needs more work. She's a bit out of shape with all of this maternity leave time. Part of it is getting my butt out there and making the time for it though. Blarg.
Kitt's been getting more work and doing well. Kash has been used for a few lessons and also getting a little more work, but I need to step up on that one as well. Chewy now has front shoes because her bars keep breaking and I don't like it. She's getting used enough to really need more than just her bare feet, so fronts it is. Ruby continues to be a big, good, lady and tolerates Z's fascination with her. In the morning Zetahra will run into Ruby's stall and start eating breakfast with her until I'm able to shoo her out after putting up the others for breakfast. Z is also starting to eat out of her creep feeder (yay!) and next month I think we get to start cutting Panda back since milk production should start slowing down now.
It's been three and a half weeks since I took the test and turned in my other stuff, no sign of results, but I'm not supposed to expect them until six weeks or later. I'm halfway there!
And with that I need some lunch!
