On Caleb's evening walk the wind went through my down jacket, I felt the cold. Time to layer, again.

Yikes! You icing your knees?

I have found that DMSO helps with soft tissue inflammation.

And arnica gel

I hope you heal up quickly, that sounded like a pretty brutal take down.

It was. Haven't gone down that hard in a very long time. Made some nice skid marks in the poop.

I haven't iced them yet today. I should but it's cold and i'm being a wimp. I just recently got DMSO to learn to use. Haven't opened it yet but i'll look into this and give it a try. Thanks! Hadn't even thought about it. We used to use it on the horses all the time. Never thought about it helping humans until a bit ago.

And arnica gel

Hey! I just got some of that because of a recent topic here!!!

Well, we made a mistake on the floor tile we bought. I didn't realize it until this morning. It's ceramic, not porcelain, so we will be heading back to Portland tomorrow to get porcelain tile. When we switched the wall tile we wanted to buy, we were focused on trying to find a color that would match the new tile. I always make sure that it's porcelain, especially for a floor application. I was in too big of a hurry. I had everything picked out for the other tile, so it took a bit to change my thinking and all of the products we had in our cart. I'm really disappointed, because I love the tile we bought. The tile we will be picking up will go really well too, but it's just a gray tile.

Hubs decided that we will also be picking up more hardwood while we're over there, make the most out of the day we can. It's 8 hours driving for a round trip, plus the time spent shopping... it's going to be a long day. We will have to make at least one more trip, unless hubs decides to pick up the rest of the wall tile tomorrow too.

Blind Hazel wedged herself between two plywood pieces in the barn. Between lambs ewes and Moses I didn’t miss her so she was in place for about six hours. She was laying down, not cramped but couldn’t find reverse and escape. Hubbs got her out and she folded onto her chest but looked around (ok blind- swiveled her head) drank water (not a lot but she was thirsty) and we put hay beside her. I gave her otc molasses vit B tonic and we are hoping she’ll get up. She’s a tough cookie, survived two dog attacks but she’s 10 years old if she’s a day. Moses did well with the flock today.

I hope she comes around, so glad you found her!

Thank you. Hazel is a trooper but all livestock becomes dead stock. She is comfortable now, not chewing cud yet. I will just leave her alone overnight. In the morning I’ll see what I’m dealing with. Edit she has water, hay and company and is in the barn. If she’s going to stay with us she’s got the things she needs.

She's had a good life with you!
