I will preface this with not all Amish are the same. I dont think being Amish is a precursor for not caring for animals..I was speaking about the rescue alone.....they rescue a lot of previously Amish owned animals.... there are a lot of equine animals ( horses, mules, donkeys etc. ) that are neglected by lots of different people... my bff was president of the humane society in her county for 15 years and she has told me stories of blindness from head strikes, overgrown or traumatic injuries to hooves where the horses can barely walk, overuse injuries (too heavy loads for too long) that have caused arthritic changes to joints. Untreated cancers that cause horrific pain, unfloated teeth so they can't eat...horses teeth grown so they can get sharp points that cause pain so they won't eat, malnourished because of poor quality or not enough food. Whip mark scars ( you don't have to beat a horse to make it work and if you do you are the problem and an asshole) etc.....

I dont think animals are people...they don't need to be treated like people.. but they deserve basic care....and kindness

I agree, mostly. I do treat my dog like my baby.

Our girl gang car

YAAAASSSSS!

 

[Lilianna23]

May I suggest a small step ladder the next time. It is safer. After all, it’s hard to get a feather massage if you are in a cast!

Wat already made a rather firm "suggestion," more like "command!" The thing is, I have one with two steps but it's upstairs. I also have one that's a fold up, one step. It is in the garage. The chair was by the door.

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning all......

I am on the soapbox this am

I haven't even booked hotel for work.trip tomorrow

You got it done, right???

 

[Lilianna23]

Agree. Safety first!

Jeeze! It's like all my dads are here! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

Ya have to laugh at the breads labeled whole grain... Nothing whole about them.... Agree on the chocolate thing.... There's chocolate then there chocolate... Drooling

IKR???

My youngest was riding a bit and the gal who ran the little stable acquired a horse that was rejected by the Amish. His legs were too long and hit the bottom of the buggy’s!. That’s the story anyhow…he was a spirited animal, and very beautiful to boot. Just not a buggy horse apparently…

Calcium in my heart CT scan this am. Nurses? Any gouge on how to reduce that? Diet, exercise, blah blah blah…got it, but I’m looking fo the cheat codes?

Happy Montag. Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. I’m gearing up for nursing duty. Cooking duty. Cleaning duty. Head Rubbing duty. When do I go back to work again?

Spring MZ in the White Sands National…

Where is the calcium? In the blood vessels? Or in the heart chambers? It's usually found in the blood vessels. Partly, it's a product of aging. Calcium deposits cause inelasticity of the vessels. What did the cardiologist say? Generally, the Rx is diet and exercise. There are medications that can be given depending on the severity. Also, if the narrowing is too great, a heart cath with a stent can be done to keep the vessel open.

Good wishes to your wife for a successful procedure. Watch carefully what the physical therapists do. You'll need to help her keep up the same level of rehab at home.

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah, that’s the hard part. As long as I’m here I won’t let the mission fail, so when I see gaps I have to address them because ultimately it may result in loss of property or life. I appreciate the support

You do. But also, try not to let those slacking use weaponized incompetence to get away with not doing their part!

 

[Lilianna23]

I hit -80 lbs... my key is drinking water..... if I don't drink enough water I hang on to weight

You go, girl! ️

I was talking about a juicy piece of pie

 

[Lilianna23]

I almost took a pic from our sunroom for sunset too. It was a very pretty golden hue.

EDIT: I just noticed that it rhymed. I should have just done a sunset poem.

Seems you just did!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's almost 0100 on the third day of DST. I might get used to the time change in a week or so. It just makes me so fuzzy-headed.

Have a great Tuesday, everyone! ️

 

[Missk_2022]

You got it done, right???

Yep

Horses are interesting and very resourceful... They like most humans get tougher under stress

I think that all critters do.


I help them when possible.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

To me, oats are for meatloaf and cookies. Maaaaybe granola. I will never eat cooked oats, porridge, gruel, or whatever one calls it, again. It's a childhood loathing thing.

My father suffered from the same thing.


My version of everything is much better than Mom ever hoped to make.


I like my cooking, no matter what.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Ladies do not use their nails as tools! Unless, of course, special tooling is warranted!

I saw at least three possibilities for replies to that and I'm still half asleep.


You said "tool" . . . .

[Wat_Tyler]

Yes, sir!

I actually have one but it is upstairs. I just didn't want to go get it.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Go to get it anyway, no matter how little you want to.


I don't want to have to pull your plug from the head injury you get while using a fucking chair.


Clear enough???

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My phone is in a wallet case. My DL, CC, and DC are in it. I rarely use a purse anymore.

Boys have pockets . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Toaster oven works, too.

Don't have one.


Yet . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I remember you talking about them. Too bad she couldn't get them.

And transport would have been a pain.


I reckon we'll need to get a horse trailer one day.


You always load the alpha last.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I know, intellectually, the horses are just "machinery" to them. I just can't do that.

They still are to lots of people. Telly was a jumper. He belonged to a preppy girl. He got hurt - he's not the most aware critter ever - and Daddy pumped a bunch of money into his vets and into rehab. Daddy started to draw the line on the dollars hemorrhage and the spoiled little twat was heard to ask hypotheticals like, "why do they live so long?" as in, Life would be better if he'd just lie down and die. So he went to the modern equivalent of the knacker, met Calypso, and got adopted by the landlady.


I still call him Preppy. He doesn't care if I have apples.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I agree, mostly. I do treat my dog like my baby.

Ethyl and TDK demand it.

Wat already made a rather firm "suggestion," more like "command!" The thing is, I have one with two steps but it's upstairs. I also have one that's a fold up, one step. It is in the garage. The chair was by the door.

There was no equivocation in Wat's statement.
