Today, I had planned on taking Snow White to the vet to get spayed, and Jarlath to get dehorned. With the weather forcast as it is, and all the other responsibilities we have right now (boarding, breeding, milking goats, and a little girl who is under the weather) David suggested I not do it this week.
Snow White looks bigger than Cinderella now, and I think the reason is because she's carrying puppies. I don't want her to get so far along that they can't spay her, as difficult as that is for me to do. At the same time, she seems to be maintaining her body temperature better than her spayed sister so I'm contemplating just dealing with mutt puppies in a few months... Anyone think they'll want some??? Easter puppies, perhaps?
As traumatic as dehorning can be, maybe I should consider buying scur nippers for Jarlath, and anyone else who has horn scurs pop up, and just not do anything else there...
Our computer is currently in the kitchen while our library carpet is drying (steam cleaning) so I'm standing as I type. I'm sure I could find plenty more to ramble on about, but my feet hurt, so I'll spare you. :) Have a Happy Monday!
