Smidge is the queen

April 26, 2019 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

I broke my toe Wednesday night (banged into a gate being my usual klutzy self and an xray confirmed it Thursday - I'll spare you from looking at my swollen little purple and green toe - you're welcome).

It’s been a year, Gramma

April 25, 2019 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

One year since I last saw your pretty face... One year and ten days since I last heard your funny laugh... One year and two days since I laid on your bed and held you, wishing your suffering would end but knowing I wasn't ready to let you go but needed to... One year and … Continue reading It’s been a year, Gramma

After all of that worry on Friday evening and all of the treatment for the milk fever, guess what we found on Sunday morning??? This beautiful boy was born!

Milk fever!!!

April 13, 2019 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

We just walked in the door (11pm). We've been at the barn since 5:30. Bessie is down. We called for an emergency vet visit - she has milk fever. She seems like she will pull through: she's alert, eating, and drinking. She just can't get up. If Ted hadn't caught it though...she'd have been gone … Continue reading Milk fever!!!
