the tail is still covered.... happy tail = very unhappy dog... fhe vet first lopped off the bloody stump and left nearly a full tail which she bandaged.. -- and bridget unbandaged many times... til i finally got u p and rebandaged.. and she unbandaged....so vet lopped off leaving 6". -- and bandaged....here comes the diversion in bandaging techniques... the vet added more bandage. and a n eliz collar and bridget tore off the bottom of the bandage..collar no help... so;;; i stripped off the. bandage put goop on the stump and put one single strip of stuff on the tail.. with the theory less is better.. hopefully less is less to chew on...
we are 2 hours into it and so far so good. i have tried many things... including the foam to keep pipes from freezing..and with one tail. long ago. one single bandaid worked !! giving me the less is better cconcept.
i absolutely can not back up janine's ford truck with trailer.... and i am ususlly good at it... but i had to ask the guy at the dump to get me off the scale and backed in-- the new fords have double mirrors which bare not resemblance to reality and got me all hung up with the barriers on the dump scale... but since she was dumpng some pretty good furnature- mirrors and things,, from the "meeting house...." the dump help was pleased.... got to keep our trash people happy....
maybe mark will get inspired. to try and land the. many tons of stone dust in the tanner barn stalls today. \\thank heavens the dodge grain woman has a sense of humor.... she call to ask about a delivery... and i did not have a clue how many horses we had ... or where they were.... or would be dining.... that big mare is going to need some groceries.....
other than that...
