It's been so fun. There are over 300 items and it's got everything you could imagine and never could imagine on the list!! It's being put on by the <a href="http://www.clickinmoms.com/">Clickin Moms Forum</a>! It's a great place to learn everything photography. <br /><br />Also, Cowpokette got her cast off about a week ago! She has been so happy. She was so tough when they took the pins out of her arm. She didn't have to be put back into surgery for it. She just laid there like a big girl. I was so proud of her. After it was all over she refused to look at the Dr. and turned to me and said, "Can we go home? I'm tired!" Poor baby girl!<br /><br />Well, it's hot and nasty humid here in the south. My two two year olds got their hooves trimmed today so it's into the round pen for them tomorrow! It's time for them to be saddled and line driven. Maybe I will loose weight if I run around behind two two year olds for a while!! :)<br /><br />But that's all for now! Not much going on here! I do have lost of pictures to share from our visit to Oklahoma to see my sister!! That was so fun!! I'll get that done soon, I promise!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-29381004536364229912011-06-12T22:59:00.005-05:002011-06-14T09:03:56.073-05:00Bad Blogger, Broken Bones, and PuppiesSo, I have been a really bad blogger......I'm sorry. I really miss it. Here is a quick update!! I've been super busy with photography sessions, and I have lots coming up this week!! It's going to be fun.<br /><br />Then on Friday evening, Cowpokette broke her arm. She was playing with her brother and some cousins and one of her boy cousins pushed her down while they were running and she landed just right, or should I say wrong. She broke her right arm, right above her elbow in the growth plates. We took her to the emergency room and we ended up having to say over night. She had surgery on Saturday. Cowpokette had two pins put in and a cast put on.<br /><br />The Dr. was very nice and we go back to see him on Friday!! You wouldn't know Cowpokette has a broken arm. She is such a trooper. She played all afternoon and was up and about. I'm so proud of her for being so tough.<br /><br />Tomorrow I take Belle in for a pregnancy check!!! I have all fingers and toes crossed for her to be pregnant!! We shall see tomorrow. I am betting YES, but I shall not be disappointed if she is not bred. I haven't gotten my hopes up too high.<br /><br />So, I am a bad blogger, and my daughter broke her arm, and Belle might be pregnant!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-57911963686142069072011-05-11T20:15:00.000-05:002011-05-13T15:38:16.500-05:00Bad Vet, Good Vet!Today was just one of those days....a day where I was sick of dealing with stupid people who treated me like I was stupid. I went to Acadia Animal Hospital this morning for an appointment for Belle. Belle was going to get a smear done to see if she is ready to be artificially inseminated (A.I.). So, I drove 45 minutes to the vet's office. <br /><br />My first impression with the front office was not good over the phone, but I have them the benefit of the doubt and I kept my appointment. I had told my husband how rude the lady was to me on the phone. So, on his way home from work he stopped by to talk with them about Belle's A.I. appointments. He said they were nice and he actually went back to talk with the Doctor. <br /><br />Me....well.....they were rude the minute I walked in the door. The office stunk like animal pee. That was a HUGE turn off. Then the receptionist looked just how I imagined her to look by how she sounded on the phone. I know that wasn't nice of me.....but it was how it was going down!!<br /><br />Then I sat there for 2 hours. I did not see the Dr. a girl came out with a large Q-tip swab and did the procedure in the waiting area. Then about 30 minutes later the rude lady up front called me up to pay and said, "Well, she is ready to breed so you can go ahead and breed her." <br /><br />I looked at her and said, "Uhm....you are breeding her. She is coming in to be A.I.ed". <br /><br />Dumb lady, "Oh, well.....where is the stud...."<br /><br />Me getting mad because I've told her this more than enough times on the phone and then my husband came in too, "Well, the stud dog is in Massachusetts. We are having it shipped to you to put it in her."<br /><br />Mean while the vet walks up and hears our conversation and says, "Oh yeah, she's ready to go, I want to breed her tomorrow, Saturday, and Monday. And if I'm too busy to do the insemination one of my girls can do it."<br /><br />I say, "Okay, I'll call the vet up in Massachusetts and tell them your information."<br /><br />I went on to ask the crack head receptionist about their delivery process and when I asked her when they accepted deliveries she just looked at me and then put a business card over the paper I was writing on and said, "There is all our information." <br /><br />Oh, HO, NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!<br /><br />I went outside to talk to the Vet in Massachusetts about the collection times and she had issues with the Saturday delivery. So, I went back inside to ask the Crack Head Receptionist about deliveries on Saturday. <br /><br />She looked at me and said, "Oh we close on Saturday at noon and so, we will just have to skip that breeding."<br /><br />Me....flaming inside and wanting to strangle her skinny neck, "Well, he said he wants to breed her on Saturday."<br /><br />Crack Head, "He said that? When did he say that?"<br /><br />Me, "He stood right there and said it while he was picking up someone's chart."<br /><br />Crack Head, "Oh, well I will have to talk to him about that."<br /><br />Then she preceded to ignore the fact I was even in the room and standing in front of her while she piddled. Another customer came up and started talking about the employees getting to leave early and the Crack Head said, "Oh we always work late. On Saturday's we are luck to get out of here by 2." <br /><br />I about LOST it. First they say if he can't do it one of the other girls can....I'm not paying to have a vet tech to breed my dog!! Then she lies to me and says that I can't come in on Saturday because they close at noon, but yet they stay til 2:00pm all the time. <br /><br />I walked out of there and called a local vet that is about 25 minutes from my house and went straight there. The office was clean, and the employees were SOOOO nice and even were dressed nice. I didn't have to have an appointment and I was brought back to see the ever so nice Dr. in about 10 minutes. The Dr. came in and apologized for my horrible experience I had this morning and said he hoped he could make my experience better. I told him, "Well there is no where to go but up!"<br /><br />He did a smear on Belle and did a blood test to check her progesterone. He made sure I didn't have any questions. I told him I wanted to give him a big hug and he was the best! I was in and out of that office in about 25 minutes. <br /><br />Belle is not going back to that horrid Vet in Rayne and we are going to go to the new wonderful nice VET!!!<br /><br />I won't even go into detail about how the semen bank in Massachusetts treated me. She was snippy and rude and I only cried a bit after her rude conversation with me. My husband called the stud owner and he got things straightened out with the sperm bank. The lady tried to tell me she wouldn't ship it to me....I was so upset. <br /><br />Anyway, I am glad the day is over and Belle will be bred on Friday and Saturday! Hooray!!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-55848241536474964442011-05-09T08:19:00.004-05:002011-05-09T08:33:34.777-05:00Puppy Fever!Guess who is super excited to be in heat?!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzKqq23ZbtDcPEa_KodNkc_R6nkweDL90pAOLgD5epg9aqXCNqyaCyRBMIiajnzYDydk4zgwYQnEVOwsciWB1I8UIUkIf8pPTgZ3LP_WnWZBiscgWwIp_kivDlXi-vO_fNbKceKGZXhwLu/s1600/web+3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzKqq23ZbtDcPEa_KodNkc_R6nkweDL90pAOLgD5epg9aqXCNqyaCyRBMIiajnzYDydk4zgwYQnEVOwsciWB1I8UIUkIf8pPTgZ3LP_WnWZBiscgWwIp_kivDlXi-vO_fNbKceKGZXhwLu/s400/web+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604705581650351954" border="0" /></a>Yep, BELLE!!! And yes that is her happy face. Cowpokette had to jump in for the picture too. Belle has come into heat and this time around we are going to breed her! We have been waiting a long time for this. I am really excited for little Belle pups. The kids are super excited too.<br /><br />Belle is going to be bred to another Olde English Bulldogge named Samson. He is a handsome boy. Samson lives in Massachusetts.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HMVdvfHwxMOvMqTS3k6f0IsncUz1SUJ7xAPh1W3C02i5qhOjk1cpgp3bP3woM7watoPkDNBrS1d9DFyjcdl7300F7SS0jpT3U3oGNDQYjnER463D3xORJ0CfGSvdTk_nCZIDlOZuqmEA/s1600/Samson+2+small.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HMVdvfHwxMOvMqTS3k6f0IsncUz1SUJ7xAPh1W3C02i5qhOjk1cpgp3bP3woM7watoPkDNBrS1d9DFyjcdl7300F7SS0jpT3U3oGNDQYjnER463D3xORJ0CfGSvdTk_nCZIDlOZuqmEA/s400/Samson+2+small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604707669676334338" border="0" /></a> Belle won't get to meet her handsome beau.

So, I had to explain to him about how the fertilizer is going to be shipped to us and the vet will put it in her. He was okay with that...until he asked...how do they put it in her? Does she eat it?<br /><br />Oh the joys of 5 year old boy questions. So, I told him, "No, they put it in her triangle." He was satisfied with that answer. He won't have to take any health class by the time we are done with explaining how the birds and the bees work with all of our animals. <br /><br />Belle goes in on Wednesday for an exam and then we will know when she will be bred and then we will have PUPPIES!!! I can't wait for puppies....I think!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-79386544811806771762011-05-06T17:17:00.005-05:002011-05-06T17:41:37.173-05:00A Baby Mountain Lion!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiO1PyIBLPcGgMOZ9RI25_lX4s6rWixihPi-4_bZLW3qZr4OQomancynellDZTkR8xElNidPz81qP7jV0SOSjhkDByUAL-cPoDJAxD11pKAX1-Qt4nSicsmQ98ULu4m730fEmTmKh2BC28/s1600/web+2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiO1PyIBLPcGgMOZ9RI25_lX4s6rWixihPi-4_bZLW3qZr4OQomancynellDZTkR8xElNidPz81qP7jV0SOSjhkDByUAL-cPoDJAxD11pKAX1-Qt4nSicsmQ98ULu4m730fEmTmKh2BC28/s400/web+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603735222177335954" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Little Cowpoke:</span> "Momma!!

I loved it!! But that is about it! I'm in the middle of my super most busy time of year! I have Senior Portrait Sessions booked like crazy and I'm just busy, busy, busy. I can't wait for April to be over!!!<br /><br />But I plan on being back! I've had so many fun stories to tell and I haven't been writing them down. So, here is to a new year of blogging!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-28260346893373408242010-11-01T21:36:00.002-05:002010-11-01T21:43:46.493-05:00Super BusyI know I have been a complete Blog Slacker for the last 6 months. And it's not because I don't have anything to write about! A lot has gone on! The kids have all gotten huge, my yearlings are huge, and my photography business is busy! Just a quick update, Big Cowpoke has been so bad in school. He is 9 and his behavior has been bad. I am not sure what's up with him. Little Cowpoke is one of the smartest kids in his class. I am loving not hounding him to do his homework. The kid just likes it! And Cowpokette is just the cutest thing ever! She is my little momma and I love having her at home with me. I am going to be so sad when she goes to Pre-K next year. <br /><br />On the horse front, Josephine choked the other day. I had to call out a vet and he tubed her and now she is fine. She freaked me out though. She had stuff coming out of her nose and mouth and I just couldn't help her. <br /><br />Halloween was fun. The Cowpokes were Black Ninjas and Cowpokette was a Princess (what else would she be?). I didn't take a single picture on Halloween. I actually have been having some right arm, elbow, and wrist issues from taking pictures. It all started back when I worked dentistry and now it's just coming back and my arm just hurts. Sharp pain going down it. So, if I don't have to take pictures for work, then I just don't. Sorry kids! It will get better soon!! <br /><br />And if you all (if anyone is left out there) wants to go see my photography website, then go and see it at www.andreatphotography.com!!! It's official. It took me a while to get it up and running, but I am really excited about it so please go and check it out!!!<br /><br />But that is all that has been going on here. OH, and the barn is almost finished. I used to tell Mr. Cowboy that the barn wouldn't be up before Christmas, and I just might be right. We have just about 2 walls and half a roof up! I took a picture of it the other day and I'll have to post it! That is really exciting! I can't wait to have my own barn!! <br /><br />But that is all for now, sorry no pictures....I'm a slacker, but at least I updated!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-35665938430295854312010-08-28T21:15:00.003-05:002010-08-28T21:19:44.373-05:00Ozzie and JosephineThe two are just about as goofy as two horses can get.

She still is a yearling, and Ozzie is 5!! So, do you think she will pass him up? I took a bunch of pictures of them tonight, but only have time to post one. We did the rodeo thing today, and my Cowpokes got all the patterns wrong. Just something in the air!<br /><br />Luna is doing great. She was running around today like a crazy yearling! It's amazing how great she is doing!<br /><br />Cowpokette is going to be 3 on Sunday! I can't believe it!! Gosh I love that little girl! I'll show her pink birthday pictures soon! She had her bestest girlfriends come over! They were so cute!!<br /><br />But that's about it!

He is a younger guy than the normal Vet that I use. They all work in the same office. But for some reason this vet likes to act like he knows everything. It aggravates me. But that's besides the point. <br /><br />He came out knowing I wanted an x-ray, and then told me they don't have an x-ray machine strong enough to shoot through the shoulder. Sigh.....but he looked at Luna and his assistant looked at Luna, and they both think she broke her Humerus bone. They think the elbow is fine and she still moves her leg to get flies off of it. They both think that she will heal up just fine and walk normal some day. I don't know about that.....but I am willing to give it a try. <br /><br />I was going to take some pictures of her today, but I will wait until this afternoon. I have been giving her some bute and I hose off her leg just to cool it off for her. So, we are going to wait 6 weeks and see what that brings. The Vet and Mr. Cowboy agreed that we can always put her down later and it's worth a try.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-90326125306306459362010-08-02T23:51:00.003-05:002010-08-03T00:07:03.924-05:00Luna Broke Her LegWell, I left for soccer practice this evening and everything was fine. I got home an hour later....and Luna was dead lame. We drive by the yearlings' pasture every time we go to or from home, so I always look over at them just to make sure they are alright. Well, this evening, I noticed that Luna was all by herself. She normally doesn't go anywhere with out her best bud Josephine. I turned to Mr. Cowboy and said, "Luna is lame!! On her front right!"<br /><br />Now, this was all said while driving about 35 mph and heading for home. So, Mr. Cowboy said, "Oh sure! Whatever, what are you some kind of horse whisperer now? There is nothing wrong with Luna!"<br /><br />He was all sorts of mad at me when I told him that she wasn't alright. He was agitated about having to go and look at her with me. I ran to the barn and got a halter, while Mr. Cowboy....started the lawn mower!!!! The man thought I was joking!! MEN!!!<br /><br />I grabbed a halter, hoof pick, and some grain for the other two horses out with her, then fussed at Mr. Cowboy to get his butt over to the pasture with me. He thinks I baby my horses and over exaggerate every little thing.<br /><br />Well, I was hoping that Luna just had an abscess or something like that. But when we saw her, her front right leg was hanging about 3 or 4 inches lower/longer than her other leg. Her elbow was not in the right spot at all.<br /><br />We wanted to load her up in the trailer to drive her to the barn. The barn is a long walk down the road. But she wouldn't load, which wasn't a big surprise. So, I walked with her. It took me about 25 minutes to get her to the barn. It normally takes 2 or 3 minutes. I let her take lots of breaks. My FIL gave her some bute, and we put some hair and water close to her. The poor girl just wanted to lay down, but couldn't figure out how to do it.<br /><br />I brushed her and sprayed her with some fly spray so she wouldn't have to worry so much about the mosquitoes. I have this small ray of hope that she might have just dislocated her shoulder??!! Maybe??? Probably not, she most likely broke it.<br /><br />Luna was going to be Mr. Cowboy's project and a future playday horse for the kids. She was so laid back and easy going. A bit of a pain in the butt to lundge, but all in all she was a good girl.<br /><br />I am going to be calling the vet in the morning, to see if he has a portable x-ray machine. I want to make sure it's really broken before she gets put down. Mr. Cowboy is also hoping it's just dislocated. But I am not too sure there is much they can do in either case. Dang babies, why do they have to be so rowdy.......<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVpvr_QBTtmQP3VGezLIy_WPWWT6CJzsz91CvSyl3P8SiCKd6DDA2aeFnOT447qNSsBFfaqESldmX7RgcYu-gKV8dicA0yKylds0lpGKjx7o53B0I1J9O3nGKnyqNlDrPfDgMARPw7fIMF/s1600/Jan+10+2010+045+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 340px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVpvr_QBTtmQP3VGezLIy_WPWWT6CJzsz91CvSyl3P8SiCKd6DDA2aeFnOT447qNSsBFfaqESldmX7RgcYu-gKV8dicA0yKylds0lpGKjx7o53B0I1J9O3nGKnyqNlDrPfDgMARPw7fIMF/s400/Jan+10+2010+045+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501045102874707314" border="0" /></a>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-12334521979791439462010-07-19T16:49:00.003-05:002010-07-19T21:47:29.461-05:00Vote for ME!!!!!

Time sure flies by so quickly. For Little Cowpoke's birthday, he chose to have a Star Wars themed party. So, this is what I came up with for his cake! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5Vch1A7AutaA33qX30wLe9w5MpRLr2WcyUOTj75Zzr6QBnveF7GrqYdSq48sS7cPDh-m_1WbOntuytqp_fnTDrmLlJ-rtcRMwzVj4titx7rUl2JAcaBKksjid4AWkQ_sFWD4sQo54lNn/s1600/L+109+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5Vch1A7AutaA33qX30wLe9w5MpRLr2WcyUOTj75Zzr6QBnveF7GrqYdSq48sS7cPDh-m_1WbOntuytqp_fnTDrmLlJ-rtcRMwzVj4titx7rUl2JAcaBKksjid4AWkQ_sFWD4sQo54lNn/s400/L+109+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491535917107607474" border="0" /></a> At first I was going to make the icing black....but then I really thought about it, and that wouldn't have been so smart!

So, I took a vacation!<br /><br />I will post all about it! And Cowpokette is doing great! She still has a little wobble to her walk, but she is walking and running like a mad woman! Ozzie is still "off" from his torn tendon. I hope that will heal....someday.<br /><br />I am also gearing up for a busy time of the year for photography, Seniors!!! So, I am trying to get all organized in that department too!! So, there really hasn't been too much time for blogging.<br /><br />Oh, and Karen, over a Rocking Pony, don't hate me because I have put word verification on my blog. I have been getting spammed now for months and I am just sick of it. So, just for now there is the horrid word verification. I hate it, and word verification is annoying, but now I have it! Sorry!!!<br /><br />But just wanted to let you all know I was still alive. I finally got to ride my old mare, Pearl, for the first time in MONTHS and I am trying hard to make more time for family. So, I might be down to posting just a couple times a week! I have a lot of catching up to do!! You all should see the size of the baby mule!! He is a chunk!! And the paint filly is pretty darn cute now too. She is now weaned!! Time sure is flying by quickly!!<br /><br />I will do my best at catching up on everybody's blogs!! It will take time but I am going to get it all done!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-16765285188255597882010-06-08T23:45:00.006-05:002010-06-08T23:57:59.378-05:00Long EarsSo, my friend texted me the other day and told me that my blog readers were getting board.

She stood on her leg just a little bit while we were there. Her leg is a lot shorter than the other. She has to "walk" on her tippy toes. But she doesn't walk at all. I am just now getting her to stand. I try to support her under her arms, but she just doesn't want to even try.<br /><br />But when we got home Cowpokette, she had a package waiting for her.

I love being able to take her to the potty and not have to put her on it backwards with toilet paper tapped to the seat!! I just wished she was a bit more motivated to walk. <br /><br />We are filling up the pool right now as we speak...hopefully she can do some kicking in there. Oh, and our insurance was not wanting to pay the hospital bills. They didn't have a form stating what kind of accident it was. We got a bill for 12,000 just for the hospital!!! YIKES!! Hopfully we have it all figured out and the insurance will start paying a bit. <br /><br />Oh, and totally off subject, I got some new packing things for my photography business!!

We were so excited. We started out at the Casino Buffet. It was good, expensive, but good. It was the all you can eat crawfish night. It was $30 dollars per person. When we went to pay, I asked the lady if I get a discount because I don't eat crawfish. The lady told me that they don't but she ended up giving us a rewards discount.

We are now totally potty trained!! We have a system down that keeps her cast dry and lets her use the potty. Which I think is terrific. On Tuesday I took Cowpokette to a different Doctor to get a second opinion about her bone moving around. The new Dr. was very good. He explained everything and even showed us some x-rays of another little girl who had a femur brake and it was worse than Cowpokette's. He showed how it healed and how it looks 6 months down the road. It was nice seeing another brake. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7NYMoX2s-eYp9qG3YDBaHt4E2ZCXYMwpD1DHGHhNRopjlkDCYPRuQnS4UhCCnjVtmm7sVpn7Ef3hKhhyphenhyphenKhbxcu6RFRkhALkR3RnBkTZbxBZWDtSn9iRboAkyCpPF4LDVa7_OTdlsRbrYb/s1600/L+011+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7NYMoX2s-eYp9qG3YDBaHt4E2ZCXYMwpD1DHGHhNRopjlkDCYPRuQnS4UhCCnjVtmm7sVpn7Ef3hKhhyphenhyphenKhbxcu6RFRkhALkR3RnBkTZbxBZWDtSn9iRboAkyCpPF4LDVa7_OTdlsRbrYb/s400/L+011+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465664604875439266" border="0" /></a> It made me feel not so bad about Cowpokette's leg. The New Dr. had also told me some things about her cast and how to do her diaper. I told him that she goes on the potty and he said, "Really?" I said, "Yes, she insists that she goes on the potty." He then said, "Well, make sure her cast doesn't get wet." I assured him that we keep it dry. We use a piece of toilet paper taped to the seat to guide the urine into the toilet. It works really well.

"I love you, Daddy's baby girl". No, he doesn't spoil her at all......<br /><br />The Dr. said she is healing great and is having some new bone growth already!! So, it's a totally better feeling than last week. We don't have to go back for two weeks. I may have to call them though, she has a part of her cast by her belly that is unraveling and the padding is separating from the cast. Me, I would glue it, but I am not sure if they would want me to do that???<br /><br />But things are looking up and she is getting better. I know in time when I look back at this I will think, "That went by fast." So, I know, this too will pass.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-57785555638332700482010-04-21T23:09:00.002-05:002010-04-21T23:14:33.578-05:00Quick UpdateI took Cowpokette to her first doctor's visit. It was an adventure. She was miserable by the time we got home. The Dr. took an x-ray to see how the bone was doing. Well...not so hot. I was really hoping he would say, "Wow, everything looks great, keep doing what you are doing!" But instead he said the top half of the broken bone has moved down 9 mm. When she broke it it was only shoved down 3 mm. And then the brake has moved 15 degrees. The Dr. says that if the bone moves any more that they will have to cut part of her cast off, put in a wedge, and recast her. <br /><br />Well, that wasn't what I wanted to hear. We got home from the Dr. office and Cowpokette has been miserable. Tonight she actually broke down screaming and crying that her leg hurt. I just held her and told her she would be okay. I think maybe she had a muscle twitch. Something had to have hurt her. She didn't even cry like that when she broke it. <br /><br />Sorry, I have been so bad about posting. I have been so busy with getting a business going, kids, horses, rodeos, baseball, church, dogs, last minute senior portrait sessions, and now one little girl with a broken leg. She has been really needy yesterday and today. I haven't been able to leave the room much. <br /><br />I don't want to sound like I am complaining, but I am just really tired. So, I am going to go to bed.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-65928533630290871652010-04-17T09:31:00.003-05:002010-04-17T10:34:14.925-05:00Hot Pink Body CastOn Thursday the 15th Cowpokette and I went out to the barn to clean stalls, fill water buckets, and let out Ozzie. It was what we do every morning, but that morning ended up a bit different. Cowpokette climbed up on some cattle panels that were leaning up on a fence. When she got to the top of the panel, it fell backwards, and she landed on her back with her left leg back behind her.<br /><br />When that happened, she screamed. It was a panic scream. I was across a turn out pen filling up a water bucket. I ran across the field and climbed through the barb wire fence. I was telling her, "Momma's coming! Stay calm, it's okay, momma's coming!!"<br /><br />I lifted up the fence and saw her left foot bent behind her, it wasn't how a foot was supposed to be. I put her leg back how a leg was supposed to be and it felt like jelly. Cowpokette looked at me and said, "I want to go home and get an ice pack." <br /><br />We went home and I propped her up on some pillows and gave her an ice pack. She wasn't crying but kept telling me that her bo bo hurts. Just then my sister in law knocked on the door. Which was wonderful because I was worried about what I should do. I answered the door and said, "I think Cowpokette broke her leg!"<br /><br />We looked over her and I called the doctor. Which was annoying. Nobody could get her in until 2 pm and it was 11 am. I was debating to take her to the ER, but I now how much that costs and I knew the doctor's office was opened so I wanted to get her into there first. I ended up making her an appointment for 1:45 pm. I left the house at noon and just showed up and said, "She broke her leg, can he see her now!" <br /><br />They saw how much pain she was in and they got her in right away. The lady who took her x-ray was the best ever! After she saw just how broken her femur bone was, she insisted we don't move Cowpokette. She showed me the x-ray and her bone was snapped in two. Just like a stick. I felt so bad. That same x-ray tech drove us to the hospital. She stayed with us in the ER to make sure the ER knew how severe the brake was. She was wonderful.<br /><br />It was wonderful having her in there with me and Cowpokette. She parked my van and then gave me her personal phone number in case I needed anything. At this point I was a crying mess, Cowpokette? Nope, not a tear, she was smiling!<br /><br />The nurses came in and prepped her for surgery. Cowpokette got an IV.

He had to drive over an hour to get to us. <br /><br />Cowpokette had to have a tube put in and then a full body cast. I asked the Dr. if she could have a pink cast!

She was all smiles and such a wonderful kid. I am kinda sad because she was fully potty trained and now we are back to diapers, so hopefully this won't set her back too much. Cowpokette wouldn't let anyone sign her cast. She wanted her best friend Ryanne to sign it first. <br /><br />The next morning the Dr. came in at 7:45 and woke her up to check her out. He said we could go home. We loaded her up in a wagon and took her down to the van. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguNDdDYh8mXYKDbZ0NNO4gDQbG7pBa8gWMGqwJiAbjyQLsb5JChR48qZQyUkTyQNeEa63DeJgZ6eQiVo99jTJgRPP7oHW3y57yumrauv8pJcooVHhgux9b7FGRHgC-76wvyuMACuQHXtId/s1600/Lydia's+Cast+002+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguNDdDYh8mXYKDbZ0NNO4gDQbG7pBa8gWMGqwJiAbjyQLsb5JChR48qZQyUkTyQNeEa63DeJgZ6eQiVo99jTJgRPP7oHW3y57yumrauv8pJcooVHhgux9b7FGRHgC-76wvyuMACuQHXtId/s400/Lydia's+Cast+002+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461123694718850274" border="0" /></a> I laid her in the middle row of seats.

The stuff tastes horrible, but she drinks it up because she knows it makes her feel better. The first day she spent on the couch. Today we have her in a big wagon.

This morning I had to put her on her belly and really wipe her bottom well. I then took alcohol and wiped her cast and her bottom down. Then I had to take a blow dryer to her to dry out her cast. She liked being on her belly. And she enjoyed getting aired out. I am so nervous about her getting sores. <br /><br />So, if anyone has any advice about how to take care of a full body cast let me know! I am hoping that next week, when she isn't so sore, that I will be able to hold her over a bed pan. That will help her stay dry. I have Googled it and read a lot about using hair dryers on cool, and using alcohol to keep the skin dry and tough.<br /><br />Cowpokette will wear this for 4-6 weeks. We go once a week to have an x-ray done to check the heeling. I pray that the 4-6 weeks go by quickly.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-70648590694405708552010-04-05T15:18:00.008-05:002010-04-06T10:29:56.186-05:00Science Fair, Leaves, Barn, Horses, Busy, Busy BusyThings here have been very busy. Both Cowpokes had Science Fair projects due today. Little Cowpoke and I worked on his during Spring Break last week. Big Cowpoke went to visit his Dad for the week, so I put together as much of his as I could with out interfering with his work. Big Cowpoke put the finishing touches on his late last night.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguO4bUKkYsdRn_hy9uwzD40eiewnffmtlu8uEiXyagAuAnhfRHj-Woi0IOUK_I9qQRweDV328o17ssA1ovSlm8cwOT1nCqxUY3bL6LuFWqF9QJ6m_MiInqtmn64K3bU8bIeBtJzRanGSXJ/s1600/Lane+009+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguO4bUKkYsdRn_hy9uwzD40eiewnffmtlu8uEiXyagAuAnhfRHj-Woi0IOUK_I9qQRweDV328o17ssA1ovSlm8cwOT1nCqxUY3bL6LuFWqF9QJ6m_MiInqtmn64K3bU8bIeBtJzRanGSXJ/s400/Lane+009+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456751116835433570" border="0" /></a> Little Cowpoke made three different bridges and did an experiment to see which bridge would hold the most cars. That was his paper bridge. He really liked counting the cars and seeing which bridge would hold the most with out falling over. Big Cowpoke did his project on Mold, and how it grows on bread. I didn't get a picture of their posters. I will get pictures when they bring them home.<br /><br />On the Barn front, we got our barn ordered! Hooray!! I am so very excited! We went back and forth on how we were going to do it and we are going with an all metal building. Then we are going to order some stalls from Ramm Fencing and Stalls. This is what the colors of our barn are going to be. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi64ggrJgnmeoKhw1NmeghRkBxzudAOI3JqvsVRBIFpkuJMM3UfQONEZ1ovMSotcYagT_-sAv2MmvFyJceXjB3AgzzK4bgUru-DAe2TOFXmVkAIaxGuw3ZZBwx4SxOBS3VEbBAblYspmzC5/s1600/Untitled-1+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi64ggrJgnmeoKhw1NmeghRkBxzudAOI3JqvsVRBIFpkuJMM3UfQONEZ1ovMSotcYagT_-sAv2MmvFyJceXjB3AgzzK4bgUru-DAe2TOFXmVkAIaxGuw3ZZBwx4SxOBS3VEbBAblYspmzC5/s400/Untitled-1+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456751121223965538" border="0" /></a> Barn red with a light stone colored body. I am really excited for it to get here. We are going to have three stalls, with dutch doors that go to the outside. We will also have two 12 foot wings coming off the side of the barn. Mr. Cowboy is also going to be building me two run in sheds in our two pastures. They are going to be Barn Red. We are going to use those for stalls too. That will give us 5 stalls.<br /><br />We also just got a lease on about 7 acres down the road from us. I am so very excited about that. We are going to be moving our stud over there and move some mares around to help the grass grow. I am really excited about that.<br /><br />Ozzie Update, he is still "off". His pastern is a little swollen still. He doesn't have any heat in it any more so he is aloud small amounts of turn out time in small turn outs. Today is his first day in a little big larger area than a round pen. He was happy to be able to eat some grass.<br /><br />Finally, the Cowpokes helped rake Great Grandma's leaves the other day. The Oak trees here loose leaves in the Fall and in the Spring.

It seems like every one has a cool different way to make pictures pop, smooth skin, lighten dark exposure, or just sharpen your image. There are actions out there everywhere. And it's hard to choose between them all. I have tried many different ones. A lot of them are great, because they take a lot of time out of your work flow. <br /><br />But I found a really cool plug-in for CS4 that I am so very excited about. It look about 20 minutes off my editing time! I just wanted to show a quick before and after picture of a Senior portrait shoot I did the other day. Here is my before picture. It is straight out of the camera. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLyxmJ5l59Qd_1aOpRW7XOB4PhoLQEJtDKZpF6Qi_Vqb3Y1W7S0jG-V8_sbocVjnOxksH8ouyrnaMwaRR__f4LekFlEebrnt8NRGJ3y4DIuugdghgfWf5roKkG1L8Do2AfWqP5mhrYKs2/s1600/A2before.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLyxmJ5l59Qd_1aOpRW7XOB4PhoLQEJtDKZpF6Qi_Vqb3Y1W7S0jG-V8_sbocVjnOxksH8ouyrnaMwaRR__f4LekFlEebrnt8NRGJ3y4DIuugdghgfWf5roKkG1L8Do2AfWqP5mhrYKs2/s400/A2before.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452260341047521346" border="0" /></a> It's dull and her skin is a bit splotchy. And the angle I had her hat made her cheeks look a bit full. I should have asked her to push her chin out a bit. I am a beginner and I do make a lot of mistakes. But anyway, enough about all my mistakes. So, I ran a plug-in in Photoshop and this is what I came out with. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRS7vtD1TDAscOZHD-4LQrGEE-zGkw9g7TdJD4MPWrFozCtOj84LP6vKj7I9JVqDbmHoyZrcs_t0Yr1u5o4F-8l6nZw-r6vbVAUj0_1NhH3NVfgGBLS3f9X_bIZ0yqtXwNmmNdK7OJun7/s1600/A2.pngforweb"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRS7vtD1TDAscOZHD-4LQrGEE-zGkw9g7TdJD4MPWrFozCtOj84LP6vKj7I9JVqDbmHoyZrcs_t0Yr1u5o4F-8l6nZw-r6vbVAUj0_1NhH3NVfgGBLS3f9X_bIZ0yqtXwNmmNdK7OJun7/s400/A2.pngforweb" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452260327565641954" border="0" /></a> I am so excited! Do you wanna know why? Because my after picture took all of four minutes to create!! When before I got my plug-in it would have taken me a good 25 minutes to brush her skin, then sharpen her eyes, then do a color boost. Now, I click about three buttons and I am done!! I am so very excited I just had to tell everyone!! Plus before and after pictures are fun to look at! It always amazes me how different they look. Oh, and I also made her cheeks a bit smaller in the After picture, which is a trick I am LOVING!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com12
