Not on your life!
Just when you think that you are going to have a quiet weekend, something always happens and its usually to do with one of the animals. Today it was Lancey, one of the Massie Lodge canines.
He was quite sick when we woke up this morning ... throwing up, lethargic... first thing that came to mind was snake bite. Well, it was off to the Warwick Vets with the big brown dog to see what was going on. First blood test wasnt very good and and signs were indicating that he had indeed been bitten. Luke decided that he wasnt sure as Lancey wasnt presenting with classic symptoms, so we decided to give him some time to see if he deteriorated. He didnt, so come 1pm it was time to go back into the vets to pick up the brown dog and to keep an eye on him when we got home. He is still not 100% as I write this post. He is still throwing up, however he is drinking lots of water and has been outside to the toilet.
I can see its going to be a long night keeping an eye on him. *yawn*
All the equine residents are well and enjoying the summer pick that has arrived. Max and Jimmy are having loads of fun playing in the water in the contour that runs through their paddock and then rolling in the mud puddle that they have made. Kids!
Libby and Sweetie and their bubs, Isabell (pictured above, trying to get down to the pick and having to move her long legs out of the way anyway she can!) and Lucy are doing very well and both Sweetie and Libby are happy to be reunited after getting the delivery thing out of the way (I know that we are glad that that's over too!). Isabell's teeth are coming through already, so lesson time will soon begin as she starts to try and use them!
Time to go and put my feet up ... hopefully to have an uneventful rest of the night with Lancey.

The very fiesty Miss Isabell ...
The very lovely Miss Lucy out and about this afternoon with her mum, having a
wonderful time with all the green pick.
Both Libby and Sweetie are happy to be together again. Isabell and Lucy are on
their way to becoming fast friends.
