Animal Around My Life
HAHA....
I have been tagged with this
pic so many times in the last
couple of yrs on FB.
People know me too well.
I know that if you have been following
me for a bit here in Blogland you
have met the barn kitties.
I named them cause I got tired
of calling them kitty.
This is Princess.
She is the one with the amazingly
green eyes.
She was probably last one to trust
me but she did come around and
she is usually the first to meow
for attention when I go to feed at night.
This is Tigress.
The smallest of the 3 siblings.
I figure she was probably the runt.
She is also my fave.
Then there is the only male.
Socks.
The other night when Jeanna went
to feed she called me. Socks was in
a bad way. It looked like something
had gotten to him. She said his
face and eye was a mess and he was
screaming in pain. Before she could even
get a good look he was gone.
I went out yesterday in search of him
and did not locate him. I guess he
want off some place to die.
Here is a pick of the 3 of the siblings
together. It amazes me how they
can come from the same litter
and be so different.
That is Tigress on the move. The light
gray is Princess and Socks is the
dark one with the white face. I only
hope he did not suffer to badly.
There is one more cat at the barn. This one
just showed up one day. It is part Tortie.
Not sure if its a male or
female. Recently she/he/whatever has
been looking rough. Patches of
open sores and it is losing hair like
mad. I am going to catch this one
today and take it in to be looked at.
It breaks my heart when something happens
to this critters. Esp. if something was
to happen to the two girls. It will kill me.
If I did not have Dakota and I could afford
vet bills I would bring the two girls
home with me.
This is Scout.
Scout is a sweetheart.
He came over with "his brother".
No relation they just belong to
the same man, Mr. Eddie.
His brother, FedEx is the one that
did so much pain to my foot a
few months ago when he decided to
step on it....and continue to stand
there, while whipping his big ass
butt around and knocking me flat
on my back....while still standing on
my foot. Luckly I did not break
an ankle. Anyway, Fed is a sweetie also
and he meant no harm.
Scout has had his issues. First I went to
feed a few months back and in glancing up
into the pasture I noticed we were short
a horse. I found Scout had tried to jump
a portion of fence and getting his front
legs caught in the barwire. Not a biggie
he just had to be cut out.
He was fine though.
Yesterday I went to bring them in and
feed only to find that Scout was
without a halter and his fly mask.
I was not aware that he had to have
the mask on till today. He tends to
develope eye infections in the summer
and he can't be out without the mask.
FedEx is a pro at getting up in the trees
and pulling his halter off so I assume
Scout took lesson's from him.
Anyway, Tim let them out this morn
and he is going back into the pasture
today to locate said items. Scout however
had to remain in the stall.
We have another horse that seems
to be an issue. See the brown one
next to the barn?
That is Roxy. Roxy is new to the
group and has had issues since
day one.
She had to be seperated from
the others cause she had a fungus
of the skin. She was treated for that.
Then just the other day when Tim and Jeanna
were at the barn feeding they
noticed her ear was barely
hanging on. Not sure if
another horse kicked her or she
got caught up in barwire. But the vet,
not being a surgeon sewed it back on
and right now we are waiting
to see if she is able
to keep the ear. Her and
Stormy (owned by Brenda)
are seperated from the others till
the ear heals.
Seems to be one thing after another
lately but on the flip side,
Misfire, my baby girl is looking
great. She carries enough weight,
she has lost the winter coat and she
looks healthy as ever.
We have a total of 7 horses, 3 pigs,
down to 4 cats and a mess of wild
turkey that come for feeding time.
Not to mention the deer that wander
in and out of the pasture, the coyotes
and now it appears the bobcats.
And life goes on.
What critters do you have in your life?

Have a fabulous day. ♥
Oh no...I'm sorry about Socks...that is so disheartening...and the horses! Sad that they have to be separated, but it's necessary for them to heal I guess...I always see them as dogs, pack animals that need and want to be with others...you're so sweet to visit them and give them so much love and care. I feel the same way...I wish I had gazillions of money to take care of every animal I encounter!!
It rained today, but summer is on its way; I can feel it coming.
