Intentional TonicRound Bale and an Update (2-23-15) I don’t know what it is with Scarlett and Sundays, but she had a major episode last night. JR and I tried to help her as best we could, but we felt helpless and two vets didn’t have much to suggest either. The good news is that Scarlett’s biopsies…
Flashback (Fall 2014) I was looking through pictures on my phone to try and distract me on the day of Scarlett’s surgery. That didn’t really help since 90% of my pictures are of Scarlett! But, I saw some we haven’t shared. This was right before our first snow of the winter. It was a beautiful…
The Not-So-Patient Patient (2-19-2015) I brought Scarlett home Thursday night. This is how messed up my brain has been: I was supposed to pick her up at 5:30. It takes an absolute maximum of 1.5 hours to get to Billings on a blue sky day like yesterday. I left our house at 3pm. Do the…
Not a Fan of February (2-18-2015) It’s been dark days at the Lazy J. For the past five vomit-filled weeks, we have been trying to figure out what is wrong with Scarlett. First we assumed she had eaten something disgusting because, well, she’s Scarlett. The vet agreed. But the vomiting kept up. Other dogs in…
Walker is Officially a “Hunt” (1-28-15) Paperwork has been signed and Walker is officially a “Hunt!” I never knew this, but her registered name is “Satins Moon Walker.” How pretty. Just between us, I think I may have to start calling her Satin. Walker’s birthday is June 10th. We will be celebrating this year! Our…
Walker Got a Trim and Other Ramblings (1-27-2015) Today I met the Farrier. What a character! He was so nice and it was amazing to watch him do his job! Walker (as well as the other horses) needed a hoof trim. Who knew horses needed such a thing? I went over early to groom her…
Solar Internet Repeater (Jan 2015) JR is finishing up work on a months-long project installing a solar internet repeater on a ranch that, until now, had no internet access (other than cellular). Getting out to the site was quite a feat that required use of a snowcat this time of year: It took another…
First Appearance of the Big Green Monster (1-8-2015) The Big Green Monster is, of course, my massive down coat made “famous” in posts from last winter. I can’t believe I just got her out today! Toasty… I went to physical therapy Thursday afternoon. It was AWESOME. I RAN. I was fast. Okay, maybe not fast fast, but…
Well, This Can’t Be Good (1-7-2015) I’ve been going to physical therapy and doing the Barre3 Challenge this month trying to make my comeback from October’s surgery. Finally…doctor’s approval! Wednesday, while on the elliptical, I heard some lovely crunching noises. Hmmm, I thought. This can’t be good. Am I feeling that from the elliptical or…
Moose (1-4-2015) Just after saying I’d never seen a moose in Montana, BOOM! Moose on the side of the road on the way to the Nordic center! He was snoozing away. He was there for a few hours after we first saw him. I texted a friend that lives nearby and she said she and…
