Ted & Overalls


Jaaten has her pink overalls on today that Grammy bought her. Grammy must have asked 5 times if she has worn them so I know she is dying to see a picture. ;) I ran home today to take the car seat base to Jaafe so I sat on the ground with her for a minute. Jaaten LOVES any necklaces I wear. She wraps them around her thumb and then sucks her thumb! It is so cute. ;) So a quick update on Ted. Ted is staying at Jimmy & Shelly's (friends of Jaafe and mine) house until our barn is built. Thursday Shelly found Ted laying in his pen gasping for air. Jimmy works with me at Shea Homes as well so he let me know I needed to call the vet. The vet thought he was having an allergic reaction or symptoms of COPD. She injected him with steroids and pain meds and suggested we put him down if he was not better after 2 days of shots. Ted was REALLY struggling to breathe and it was so hard to watch so, of course, I was bawling. Our vet is a total Tomboy too so she was staring at me like I had absolutely lost it to be crying over a pony. Long story short and $362 later, Ted is back to normal. We think he may have actually been colicking which is a blockage of a horse's digestive tract. He is good now though. I think he likes his new home because he plays with that colt in the pen next to him.
