Oldbroad, make sure you have a nice long rest with some pampering between boarders. You need to recharge.

It's still very hot here, and muggy, which is odd for us. Now is the time we'd be out in the boat every day, so my husband is feeling a bit down. Still, he's able to get up and down the stairs, and once I pick up the folding wheelchair this afternoon we'll be able to at least go out for a coffee and a drive. He's making slow progress, but apparently he still has enough muscle to completely recover -- it'll just take longer because of the cancer.

Thanks for thinking about me hagatha. I do need to recharge. Except that is BrownEyedTigre who has the boarders.

Haha. Thanks. I was posting pre-coffee!

sports and chores.

Well, I spent the evening at the emergency vets with my little boarder. She's really not feeling well at all, could use some positive vibes. She's only 7 pounds.

Tomorrow will be a better day, I'm sure of it.

Good Morning everyone. Ana I hope your boarder is doing better today. Sending positive vibs for you and the pup. Coffee and tea are ready to enjoy with Connie's breakfast.
Enjoy your Birthday soot! Brought a chocolate Birthday cake for you in the Break Room...to share.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Shopping is on the agenda today. Dinner and karaoke at the Eagles tonight. Ana. Soot, Birthday Cupcakes in the Break Room.

Hoping to hear how your little boarder is doing today, Ana. Good morning, everyone! I am grabbing a cup of coffee and heading out. Today is salsa canning day. A friend who is curious about our process is coming out to help. Will be sending at least 12 pints of salsa home with him!

Hello to you all and hoping you day is a good one.

We are in the seventy today with a nice sun.

Tomorrow not so nice with rain.

Sitting in front of the TV for the Olympics. What a great show.

I hope your next week will be a good one.

My little boarder is doing fabulous today! Hungry and bright eyed! Really keep me hopping, but the main thing is. she's ok! Thank you for asking!
I'll be back later!

So glad to hear she is "doing fabulous"!

Whew! I was plenty worried about her!

same thing.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Breakfast out this morning. Ana, I'm glad your little boarder is doing good.

Laundry... a big load of my old worn bath towels that we use to clean up after canning tomatoes. Then I'm headed back out to the tomato forests! Have to do the 10:00 closing at the horse rescue tonight. I'm hoping I only have three skinny Arabians to feed. Last time I closed it was 16 horses to feed at night!

Good morning and Howdy Hello Connie Ana family Draclvr oldbroad Chief Gerry and Lex ... it's great to see everyone

Yesterday was a whirlwind ... thanks for your thoughts ... was asked if I felt a year older and didn't have to think about that one at all ... I feel a year older every day now!

Ana, so glad to hear your little boarder is doing well today! Will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers

Have fun Connie ... stay safe

Wow, sixteen horses sounded like quite the surprise Draclvr ... give them hugs from me please

Today is going to be a "little bit day" accompanied by music ... a little bit of shopping, a little bit of home projects, a little bit of gardening ...
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone

Soot, we generally have around 100 horses and a couple hundred other rescued farm animal down there. It's the emaciated ones that come in that we have to feed at night. I have fed 42 horses at 10:00 at night because we had so many rescues in a row!

Where are these horses being rescued from Draclvr and then what happens to them?

We are one of the top 3 large animal rescues in the US. We're a division of the Humane Society of Missouri. We take horses and other abused/neglected farm animals from all over the state of Missouri. But since there are so few facilities like ours to handle large numbers of horses, we get them for other states too. All - except for a select few - are put up for adoption as soon as they are healthy. Which can take many, many months depending on how bad they are when they come in. We don't save all of them, but we save nearly all. To say the least, I've seen some terrible things down there. Sometimes I really don't like most humans at all.

Thanks. Yes, so many people doing bad things to poor animals. I sometimes wonder what thoughts are in the minds of neglected and abused animals, especially pets who you are supposed to love and care for.

court shows and even perry mason, and chores, starting with perry mason, america court with judge kevin ross, the people court, judge greg mathis, justice with judge mablean ,the verdict with judge hatchett, judge judy. and chore.

I can never understand how someone can abuse an animal. It breaks my heart to think of it. It's wonderful that there are people like you out there taking care of them, Draclvr.

We hit a big milestone today with my husband's walking. He's been up and down the stairs a couple of times, but today we got him down the stairs, through the garage and out to my car (using his walker) , and he is able to get in and out of my Accord, which means we can now go for short drives and grab a coffee at our favourite coffee shop. Also, it means we no longer have to rely on the Medi Van for transport to and from the hospital and other medical appointments. He's also able to take a few unassisted steps on his own, which means his balance is back.

I'd really love it if he were able to get out in his boat at least a few times later this summer. The Humpbacks don't leave until late October, so there's still time.

That is great news hagatha and hopefully you and he will make it out on the boat soon!

And as a lovely treat, A few minutes ago I glanced out the window and saw an enormous splash halfway across the channel. It was a lone humpback breaching and tail-slapping, and it went on for a full ten minutes, so John was able to get to the window in time to watch it for a while.

We've noticed a couple of things about the breaching. It only happens later in the summer after the humpbacks have been feeding for a couple of months, and it happens a lot in the evening. It's probably a means of long-distance communication (it's pretty loud) , but I'm sure they also do it just because it's fun.
