First, on a good note. Lady is definitely getting better. She is still wearing the aluminum plate on her right foot to help protect her sole, but its a good thing she has it. Last week the abscess that had been festering finally was ruptured and she spent the week soaking the foot twice a day and wearing a poultice. The plate made it real easy to keep the poultice in place. She is walking 100% better and really happy in herself. SO ARE WE!! Months of rehab left yet, but the prognosis looks brighter. No trips around the jump course, but hopefully some leisurely walks through the woods and her arthritis can be kept under control.
Autumn?? Weather forecast is rain - sun - rain... And poor Bran and Luke have new RAIN COATS... Bran looked soooo happy when we tried it on him. Maybe he won't have to spend so much time in the garage drying off after a day at the barn. Luke might be a little more happy as well. When its raining and cool he tries to stay hidden in the hay stack buried under the fallen hay keeping warm and dry. His idea of a day at the barn is chase the sheep out to the pasture then find a nice hay pile to sleep in until lunch time! Just not a farm dog yet. Oh well, he is happy with his life.
Autumn also brings harvest time and a bubbling wine cellar. Tasted some of the grape harvest spoils yesterday. Not quite to rocket fuel stage yet, but a very nice blend of grapes and still bubbling. Also rendered 13 pints of lard. First time we ever tried making our own and its a do-over. Freezer is full now. Should keep the tummy full and warm for another year.
Well time to go and see what new adventure is awaiting us today. Take care, stay safe and I will try to post a little more frequent now that Maureen is almost back to her normal self and the pneumonia is gone. G.
