One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye, Susan. The Doctor, in “The Dalek Invasion of Earth” Related Images:

If you don’t know who Doctor Who is, you’re in for a sordid history of one of the longest-running TV shows. The first running, the BBC series ran for over 25 years with seven men (plus one spinoff movie with the 8th doctor) sharing the role the Doctor during that time. Check out www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho for more info. About 1.5 years ago, the BBC picked up the series again and filmed a new searson...
Continue reading...Isis Update
The results from the biopsy came back and showed that Isis’ problems were caused by an allergic reaction. What she reacted to, we don’t know yet. I’d be willing to guess that it was something tied in with the rain rot she had (which is now gone). Related Images:

I went out and saw Rajiyyah today. She is definitely looking better. She has filled out — she is well muscled over her hips and shoulders. Her coat is thick and winterized, although she will start shedding out soon. She is such a character. We had snow for an entire weekend, so she spent more time up then she did out. She let us know she was unhappy with her situation by pooping...

Isis had her feet done tonight. We’re trying a new experiment — Easy Walkers on the front and aluminum Eventer shoes on the back. She has never had metal shoes on her back feet. It will be interesting to see how her feet respond to the different shoes. Related Images:

The vet came out today. She looked at Isis’ belly and took samples to send off to the lab. We opted to do a biopsy of the area. The biopsy should tell us if it is an infestation of some sort, allergies, rain rot, or something else. Isis was really good for everything. She was sedated (poor woosie mare), and she had three staples where the biopsies were taken. It didn’t take that...
Continue reading...Which AD&D character are you?
I took the AD&D character test and came up as a True Neutral Elf Ranger: True Neutral Elf Ranger Alignment: True Neutral characters are very rare. They believe that balance is the most important thing, and will not side with any other force. They will do whatever is necessary to preserve that balance, even if it means switching allegiances suddenly. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a...

Well Isis’ stomach is worse tonight. The swelling has spread and the sores are intensely itchy. I treated her with hydrocortisone cream and tea-tree oil again. I’m hoping the vet can come out tomorrow. Related Images:

Some guys get belly button lint, and Isis just gets gunk. About two weeks ago, Isis had a swelling on the right side of her abdomen. Not very large — maybe about a hand long by 2-3 fingers wide. I used a topical tea-tree oil and hydrocortisone ointment on it. The swelling went away after a few days. She lost some of her hair on the spot where the swelling was. Not just...
Continue reading...Off her supplement
Okay, I knew Isis’ supplement helped her. The past few weeks have really highlighted just how much she needs it. For about the past month, Isis has not been eating her supplement. She gets a low-starch pelleted grain and 2 ounces of Grand Meadows Complete, a powdered supplement. She decided that she didn’t like the pellets and she didn’t like the supplement. She quit eating her grain. Four years ago, we started Isis...
Continue reading...Hair loss?
Ever seen a horse lose the hair on their stomach in patches during the winter? Isis is doing that. Her hair is very scurfy (but no rain-rot lumps) and as you rub it it falls out in patches… I’ve called the vet. Related Images:

When is what we do enough? Even when a skin conditions lingers and everything else has been tried… and something new comes up? Related Images:

Isis had her first chiropractic adjustment tonight after several months without one. Around Thanksgiving she was out in the pasture with two other horses to see if she could be introduced into another herd. Things were fine until we added another mare — then the gelding and Isis and words. She kicked him in the side and he got her twice, once on her hip and then again on her hock. She deserved...

Well it’s a new year and a new look. The blog has been updated to WordPress 2.0 from 1.2. There are quite a few new featurs. I just uploaded several themes, as well as this one, which is based on Squible. I’fe modified the code a little, replaced some images and the header graphic with the new blog logo. I’m hoping to get things moving around here a little more. It would be...
