A Time Of Wonder
What is it about April on this farm?
Addy is holding at a status quo, but she had a fever spike last night after 10:30pm of 102.9F.
She wouldn’t eat her med-laced, (imitation) maple-syrup-drizzled sweet feed………….(you know, that same exact feed that has a five-star rating with the squirrels & rats in my garage).
Plus, while I was out floundering & stumbling around in the dark, I heard Mason making less-than-usual sounds.
Some things you just can’t put your finger on, but you know they aren’t “right”…
This was one of them…
He was laying down……………not unusual……………after all, it was almost midnight.
But when he stood to get up in the flashlight beam, he seemed a bit off…
So, I checked on him several more times and he was standing at the alfalfa block, eating normally.
~~~~~~~~~~However~~~~~~~~~~when I checked on him this morning, he was super wobbly……………and rocking back……………
Still standing…
Still eating…
So, there’s that…
But, what IS GOING ON HERE!?!
The “rocking back” on his heels…………..remember that one……………(sigh)…
Dr. Stevie Wonder was coming out today anyway to draw some more blood from Addy……………to compare with the other two blood profiles that have already been drawn……………AND now he will check out Mason too…
*************Here’s that old adage coming back around again……………
If you can’t stand the heat……………get out of the kitchen…
Sigh…
I feel backed into a corner with a lame fire-extinguisher…
What is it about April?……………well, to be more accurate March & April…
Let’s just hope and pray it’s not March, April, and May…………….and June…………….and July……………
