I had the vet out Friday to dehorn Nessa and give her her Bangs tag + vaccinations. She did really well, in fact I didn't need to give her a Banamine shot today, she was pretty much back to normal.
Dolly kept pestering the vet through the fence the whole time and waited and waited and gave "mama moo's" to Nessa on and off. Dolly knew with the vet here, "something" was going on! The vet thought I was joking when I told him she was 17...he was probably wondering why I was feeding a pasture ornament...oh well.
I settled down out in the shed with a bale of hay for a chair and a back issue of AcresUSA to read and wait for Nessa to come out of her stupor. (The photo where it looks like she is sleeping.) It only took 3 hours before she was back on her feet ready to go back out to normalcy. I kept her in a bit longer to be safe. She even managed to pee on my boot, guess that was her 'thanks' to me! :( (Can't blame her!)
A cold front managed to come through in the afternoon and it even started to snow. I was glad to get back into the house and warmed up!
Pat and his cousin Tim went to Kansas City to pick up Jared today, and go to a gun show down there. (Not my cup of tea.....ha) Jared will be back for a week and I already have an Apple Pie cooked and waiting for him. ;)
Kyle yesterday had a Speech Meet and today is gone to a Show Choir competition playing drums for them. Golf starts next week, so his schedule will be more packed. Thank goodness he's cut down on his work hours.
Bless her heart. I hate dehorning but worse than dehorning, I hate horns! ;-) She looks much better without them! She's so pretty!
