Bumble is gone

12/28/2012

 
    Today has been a bit of a let down for RJ.  As most of you know Bumble the calf was in the house because of the cold weather and him just not being able to get over his scours.  Well, last night at 11pm  he was checked and he was up and doing great.  He was eating and drinking like he should and seemed fine.  At his 3am check, he was laying down with what we thought was a tummy ache.  We doctored him with stuff for his tummy and antibiotics.  While we continued with saline solution to make sure he wasn't getting dehydrated.  Later this morning Bumbles lost his fight and passed on.  We are not really sure why but we do know that we did everything we could to save him and that we gave him the best care of him that we could. 
    RJ did have to fight with the waters again.  The Ducks was the worst but he got it all under control.

Together we also worked on the new sign post .... I keep him busy when ever something bad happens so that he can get his focus off the bad ....

we have hung a light above the dog's water - I think it's a 75w or maybe 100w bulb. it keeps it thawed and provides heat for the dogs also. Could you string some lights to help with the water situation?

Love the new sign, but very sorry about the calf. I know how hard that is . I've lost my share through the years & it never gets easier!
