Picture day

Well, my original intent was to get pictures of JJ and Laramie, but Laramie kept blocking JJ, so I'll try again tomorrow. I stayed inside and worked most the day. I did get Empress's toes knocked way down (got tired of her being sore so I did some online research last night and looked at so many cadaver feet it about made me sick, but it gave me a really good idea of how to trim her). She laid down patiently while I hacked off her toes to where they should be--she has a really nice looking foot now, and I was happy I never hit blood, but she was still sore. Luckily I have a pair of easy boot knock-offs and put those on her. I cleaned up her paddock and watched as she eventually began stepping much easier. I'm excited to see how these work for her. She's gaining weight well, has a great appetite and is perky, but her lameness really worries me, especially after what Kristi, Jenny, and I went through with Sunny. She hits toe first so we'll work on getting those heels back to where they should be (they are contracted right now) and expand that frog so she can hit heel first. She should be perfectly sound if we can get to that point.

I started working again on my guest bed (pics later) now that I found my good restorer again. I ran out and looked in probably 10 stores before I finally found it--I bought two bottles this time! LOL The bed came out of my grandma's barn. It originally belonged to my great-great grandparents, so it will be nice to have it restored and set up in my guest room. My guests will probably appreciate finally not having to sleep on an air mattress, too! LOL

So, here are the pics I did happen to get today. More hopefully tomorrow.

Baby enjoying the cloudy afternoon. Not sure why she was all alone.....

Paula with JJ and Laramie behind her (eating, of course)....

Charlie, my faithful friend....

Laramie has so much personality....

This is probably my all-time favorite picture of Paula....
