I Have a Harness

Yay!! I actually have a harness at last. I ordered a webbing one from The Real Dog Equipment Company and it is perfect!!!! It fits both girls and is completely adjustable so should fit any future dogs too. I haven't got the girls out in it yet though as the weather is still completely awful. In fact, last night we had a pretty impressive lightning storm that scared the living daylights out of Sammie and I. I had a busy weekend (as usual). On Saturday morning first thing, I helped Martina with her foal Bad Jelly The Witch (yes that IS her name and she is quite good at living up to it). BJ had cut her leg so On Friday night I helped when the vet came to inject her with antibugs (although I would have to say that I probably wasn't much help) and then on Saturday I helped Martina to wash it and then give her an oral syringe of more anti bugs.

After treating BJ we both headed up to help Tina with her injured baby (who is a VERY different kettle of fish) and rebandaged young Tilly too. It was great as Tilly didn't need any sedation this time at all, she just stood like a rock. In fact, she just loved having the skin around the wound rubbed really hard, it must be really itchy as she was pulling faces and just loving the scratch...... bless. Having said that, the little troll nipped me as I was leading her back to the paddock. Grrrrrr. LOL

Next on the agenda was a quick run up to Falloons to get some jute sacks for Barbera, popped home for a quick shower and headed off to Ardmore to catch up with Barbera and the crew. Meggie is looking fabulous!!!! AND she got BOB at the first show....YAY!!!!

We went for a walk in the Botanic Gardens after the show and then had dinner at Casablanca in Sylvia Park, which was very tasty.

Sunday was really, really wet!!!!! I had to help Martina first thing. She wanted me to be there but not to do anything as she wanted to see if she could manage by herself. It was not an auspicious beginning as BJ refused to come out of the paddock and when she did her and her mother knocked Martina completely over. It really worries me that Martina might get hurt as both girls are big, strong and bloody minded.

The rest of Sunday was supposed to be dedicated to housey type stuff but, as usual, that didn't happen. Maree was up for her annual girls get together so I caught up with her, Gill and Anita at Bliss for coffee. I love catching up with Maree and I am so thrilled that she will be family (even more than she already is). Once I had left Bliss and fed the boys the weekend was over. I don't know how I managed when I was riding as well!!!! LOL

I am working from home for the first time this week on anotheraudio with Manila and I LOVE it!!!!
