Mud, mud and more Mud

Been a month of nothing yet so much!  So much to think about and so much to go forward on and I'm happy to do things.  I'm mentally pushing myself into a better and better mindset.
I have been working every weekend since early January and this weekend has been an off weekend.  I'm not working at the clinic, not at the German Shepherds or anything this weekend.  Just a totally down weekend to relax and enjoy a few things.  Of coarse though it is raining.  It's been raining so much that we can't even get the 4-wheelers out into the horse pasture with the hay.  Including my aunts 4-wheeler which is twice the size and power of dad's.  We about buried it with the last bale and it's been raining ever since then.  5 days of rain.  Tessa's got cellulitis in all 4 legs, so I coppertoxed them and gave her a big shot of excede, she got her second round excede shot today so that should help and I'm going to start her back on Horseshoer's Secret in hopes of that helping her feet.  I think Heidi should go on it as well despite she's not showing any signs her feet are bothersome.  Well Tess isn't either, she's still running out in the slop.  Both girls had their friskies on Friday and Today.  We had a brief sunny few hours on each of the last 4 days so the grass is really trying to take off and grow and they were searching and nibbling whatever they could.  Not exactly how I wanted to spend my weekend off from everything but I can do it.
The rabbits are doing ~okay~ because I am still struggling with the remnants of the rat problem.  I found on Saturday, two of Cricket's showables have toes chewed on.  The chocolate buck and the blue doe.  I'm still going to continue to monitor them for development see if the nail grows back and they just lost nails.  The lilac doe I'm going to watch and see she messed up her hock and she goes to Cull or if she gets to stay and turn showable.  The dutch, I'm not sure, I'm going to watch this development of these kits and see how they come out, but the barn feels cramped up with that extra set of cages in it so I do want to see what I can do to cut down my numbers again.  The Jolene and Lantis tort litter is mostly mismarks. 
Willow, well, she's back to itching- a LOT and it's driving me batty.  So I've been on this cleaning spree and I got my room cleaned up and out and got my car cleaned up and now it's time to get ready for bed for the work week to start again.  At least next weekend is the German Shepherds.  I do really like working at the dog kennel.  I can take my time and get to enjoy the dogs as well.   Praying for this work week to go nice, easy and fun!
