Dresser to a dollhouse
I hate that I can't credit the person who originally took this photo, but it's been shared online so many times that I couldn't track the original poster down. I saw it when Tina over at The Rusted Barn shared it on her Facebook page. I think this is such a great gift idea though … Continue reading Dresser to a dollhouse

Genetics in the herd
It is AMAZING how much genetics can carry over from a parent to offspring. Just look at Chip's two sons! Son 1 (8 months old) Son 2 (also 8 months old) Chip earlier this summer (2 years, 4 months old) If you notice, both bull calves have no horns.

My poor girl!!!
Puppers has an eight week recovery period (minimum) ahead of her. Her CCL (knee ligament) was torn completely in two. The vet snipped the torn ends and put a bolt and wire in that will now take the place of the CCL. He also released her meniscus (she had scar tissue in the knee that … Continue reading My poor girl!!!

Ouch!
My poor girl has a torn CCL ligament (like a torn ACL in a human - the ligament over the knee). After two appointments, medication, and xrays, the vet said she needs surgery to fix it because it could wind up tearing the other back leg which is overcompensating for the injured one (she currently … Continue reading Ouch!
