Scooter is a pretty boy. I hope you're able to figure out what's going on and get some weight back on him

Hope he feels better soon.

Warning to menfolk:
The following will be a rant about my hair. Feel free to not read it. I can't vent about it on Facebook (the hairdresser's on my friend's list) so...you guys have to suffer.
I am usually a 'throw the hat on w/ a pony tail' person....Most days I don't bother w/ 'fixing' my hair, and I only get it trimmed 2x a year....but....I have wanted a spiral perm for a long time. My hair is finally long enough to do it.
I sat for 3.5 hours yesterday (I don't sit still well for long), my neck is sore from the sink, and I paid $80.00 and...
My hair is straight.
She said she'd redo it for free, but I'm not wanting to sit through another 3.5 hrs and risk frying my hair.
*end of hair rant*
Gotta bring in all my houseplants today, supposed to have our 1st frost tomorrow night.
Then I gotta go get kid feed, put that away, and tear down some stuff in the garden. Hope to get that all done before the rain hits (AGAIN) this afternoon.
Have a great Thursday.

As someone who doesn't fuss with my hair. And just throw it back with two barrettes, I feel your pain. Sounds like a weak solution was used. It does happen. And too soon to try it again. I would be afraid of frying my hair too. Haven't had a perm in AGES. Don't miss the sitting and the smell.Roll farms said:Warning to menfolk:

3.5 hours and nothing to show for it but straight hair? I'd be ticked!! 
I wonder how long you'd have to wait for it to be safe for your hair?
Vet (well, the receptionist) just called and Scooter's fecal was negative for everything. :/ Then she was asking if I'd made any changes to his diet, blah blah blah. I told her no, and she asked if I fed wet food. I told her I just started feeding wet again, and then she said to stop feeding him wet food because it can cause loose stools. I told her I *just*, as in, 2 days ago, started feeding wet food and that is NOT the case. And yes, I've tried other foods and I know to change foods slowly, and it is NOT the changing foods that has caused it, because he has had it for a long time.
It's just frustrating because 1 of my BFFs is a vet (a couple hours away) and my other BFF is currently IN vet school and I'm working with both of them trying to figure out what is wrong with him and how to fix it. I'm not stupid, and I hate it when vets just talk to you like you're a moron. 
Sorry, rant over.
Today I am going to the Southern States, which has a HUGE selection of really great dog food and hopefully I can pick something out that'll help him. My friend said to start feeding Metamucil which will slow down his gut, and to feed canned food to help increase his moisture intake. I'll start there and see how it goes.

It is raining in my neck of the woods. Today I am going to paint an old flower pot. It is at least 50 years old. I cant wait until its finished! I will have to post before and after pictures.
Sorry about your hair Roll Farms. I would be pretty mad if that ever happened to me. 3 and 1/2 hours and your hair is still straight?! That is ridiculous!

Rolls, I used to get spiral perms all the time when I was younger (in the 80's) 1 in every 5 of them wouldn't take!! So I decided straight hair it is for me. I would love love love to get one again but I don't want to risk it. My hair is really thick and they had to use 2 perm solution bottles on my hair to get it to take. Do you have thick hair??? It really does take a lot out of your hair cuticle, so I would wait a while before trying it again. Sorry it didn't work.

Hello BHYers! Happy lol Monday! It's chilly out this morning!! 
High of 58 or something today. I'm so glad. Now, if we could just get this rain to stop I'd be happier. I really need to do some work out in the pens...like cleaning up matted nasty hay and straw from the shelter and feeding area. Not looking forward to that, but it'll be much easier if it wasn't so soggy out.
Good news, Darla was bred last night. Hoping it takes because I don't want late lambs.
And not so good news....my vet friend said Scooter probably has some sort of cancer developing, but we won't really know for sure unless we do all sorts of testing. I'm not really wanting to put him through all that, because I wouldnt' treat it if it was cancer. I just don't feel like it's fair to put him through that, and he's had such a good, long life already. We are going to try metronidazole and prednisone to make him more comfy and see if that helps his diarrhea.
