Sandridge

Last night, the whelping box was taken out of the stall and brought into the apartment. We must have a place for these puppies and the insulators won't be done for probably another 3 days. Around 10:00pm Emma delivered another puppy but it was dead, the pup was removed and she was cleaned up. The night wasn't too bad, the puppies were checked on twice during the night, each time they seemed content, nursing well. Emma has 8 nipples and there are 10 pups meaning 2 must take turns but they seem to be working it out without assistance. This morning around 5:30 Emma comes running into the closet, Mark makes the statement she must be confused, she was taken back to her puppies where she quickly delivered another dead pup.
Karin is taking the cousins to Sandridge State Forrest today for a long trail ride. Mike's red truck is hooked to the stock trailer, mine must be hooked up to the living quarter trailer except it hasn't been returned yet. Philip borrowed the truck and dump trailer for a job. Hopefully Karin can find out where the truck is and get it here before their 9:00am leave time. The weather is suppose to be beautiful today. The Honeggers are heading to Forrest, IL for the Honegger reunion. They will stop at Emily's and visit Jewel. Emily emailed that she can tell Jewel is a Raven daughter, she has been riding her in the field bareback with just a halter and Jewel is so responsive, walking, trotting, turning and stopping when asked. She wrote that she was enjoying having her.
Eliza will need to be covered today if she is still in.
