Bruno is going home today but he did very well last night as far as howling, he was locked in the porch and we didn't hear a peep out of him but Emma was a different matter. AT 3:00am she insisted on going out and wanted to go out to Bruno, nope it wasn't going to happen and she was put out the back door while I sat outside and watched her. When she figured out Bruno wasn't coming to meet her she finally asked to come back inside and settled down. Bed felt wonderful at 3:20am and would have felt wonderful at 6:00am but Darcy thought we should all be up and when she insists on us getting up the bed shakes. She puts her massive Mastiff head on the side of the bed and pushes so hard she moves the bed. Why do we have dogs? Oh yes, that is one way we can get unconditional love.
Sangria was checked at 7:00am, no change from yesterday, in fact her udder seems to have gone down a bit. She was brought in out of the ever present rain and given her grain in a stall. She looks miserable and moved pretty slowly perhaps things are starting to progress. Sanna and her filly were also moved out of the mud and rain and stalled. Sanna's leg was completely back to normal and the filly was bright and curious, she started playing with the feed buckets. Wonderful to see!
Quint, the owner of Meister plumbing showed up at Bridlewood while I was at the farm. Mark was good enough to meet him and show him the puddle we thought was a leak. Quint disagreed with us, told Mark there is no swirling water so it doesn't look like a leak, as it is a low spot he feels it is just from the over abundance of rain but that doesn't resolve the issue of no water pressure. The next step is to drain the meter vault, shut off all water to the barn and see if the meter runs.
Mom and I were the only walkers brave enough to slosh through the rain and mud today and the reward was a one of mom's delicious breakfasts.
