A little update about the boss's triip to the surgeon. The healing looks good. Staples were removed and steri strips put on. A shower was ordered as well, first in TWO WEEKS! Maureen was pleased. BUT... There is another problem that has been nagging Maureen for the past few days. So another MRI has been ordered. We are crossing our fingers. The Dr said there is the possiblity another disc may have ruptured. DOOH... We are both upbeat about it all. At least the fusion is holding. Clearance was given for more time sitting and walking aournd, that is when the new problem doesn't hurt. We will keep you informed.
Now its Qautre (standing author!) at the keyboeard. Thanks Quatre...

Yesterday Macho and Alissia got their hooves trimmed. The
  Squeeze was all set up. Greg, Ginger and I cornered the big wimp while little
  Alissia followed Greg, chewing on his jacket, lasso, gloves, looking for
  carrots, no fear. Macho is not always so macho. But a good boy. 
 
Today half the crew was gone. Greg took Maureen for a
  check-up while Ginger spent the day in Tacoma. John and Mal got to work
  trimming back more trees while Bran supervised. Annie and I mucked out stalls,
  made feeds, got saw dust, collected uneaten and damp hey to give to the
  chickens and generally kept things going. Happy chickens today! They do love
  their left-over hey. 
 
The driveway is now clear of leaves and nettles.
  Leaf-blowers really need to be ambidextrous. 
 
Holley is getting much better with her hooves. I can pick
  each up and have a look without much fuss. Good girl! She is also getting
  acquainted with the bittersweet taste of carrots. Yum.
 
The day nearly done, Greg and I completed evening chores.
  There is a place in the main barn driveway where I can stand and nearly every
  animal can see me…. and bawl for dinner! “Me first! Me first!” Oy! There’s an
  order to these things. :)
 
Tomorrow afternoon I will be off for the weekend, city
visit time. The Hudsons leave the day after. Sad. I have enjoyed their company
much and will miss them!
 
That’s all for now.
