..., because he still appears to be huge. Anyway, I got myself a Dunk's hot hazelnut coffee on the way to the vet, and my head feels about a bazillion times better. Y'all ( maystone and hnybny ) are fine doctors. :) Telly was still not terribly happy with the whole toenail trimming...had to have the big leather muzzle and everything. It was not happy making, but his toenails look SO ...
Yeah. SNOW. We got some last night. Even though our local weather page kept insisting we were going to get less than 0.04 inches, we got about 10 times that. We lucked out compared to areas to our south and to our north, because they got between 6 and 8 inches plus occasional white-out conditions. It's only October, people. We haven't even had Halloween yet. Sigh. The cats were...
We've been having wild, weird weather lately. Yesterday we had driving rain, strong winds, thunder, lightning, hail; tonight we're expecting snow flurries. Today was off and on heavy rain, but the sun came out about an hour before sunset and left us with a beautiful rainbow. Two actually, although second wasn't as strong as the first. The camera couldn't catch how vibrant everything looked: the ...
The effects of the Tridural wore off, but I'm still spending a good portion of the day dropping off to sleep. It's a classic Lupus thing that I really haven't experienced that much, for which I'm thankful. Unfortunately while I'm playing Sleepy, Dar has been single-handedly preparing our (postponed from earlier) Thanksgiving Dinner. Turkey, roast beef, many veggies, and three homemade pies. And ...
Who could use a little alpaca pick-me-up? All righty, then! Ripley is 12 days old now and cute as a button. I swear to you that Suki does more than just lay around. She's a motorvatin' little cria - except never when I have my camera ready. Adama being nosy. He always hangs out in the barn, because that's where the open hay bin is. He's like the Jaws of alpacas: eat, eat, eat....
As I've said before, I didn't start out as an Obama supporter. While he doesn't go as far left to the progressive side of issues as I'd wish, I have nothing but respect and admiration and hope (with some tears) for how he's brought so many together and how he's showcased the good that is still to be found in America. If all we saw was the hate and fear and ignorance that seems to be the hallmark ...

Dar has been out with the moms and the new babies off and on all of last night and today. She reports that the babies are doing very well; they've each gained a little weight, which is exactly what we want to happen. Cinnamon Girl isn't doing that well. She moans constantly and seems to be in pain. Dar gave her some meds for the pain, and now she's taking a well-deserved nap. Later we'll go out ...
