SHOCKED AT WHAT THE VET SAID

All right, today's the day. Rosie's having her surgery. Also, thank you so much to everybody that donated to help cover the cost of this surgery. That really means a lot that you guys would chip in to help this not just be a burden on us and our family, but to kind of all come together as a community and a family and to help take care of Rosie. All right, we just dropped her off. She's in good hands now. She's in good hands. Supposed to be picking her back up around three. Around three. And they'll have everything taken care of. Hopefully we can find her a good home. So if anyone is interested in Rosie, she's the sweetest dog, especially with the kids. Am I right about that? Yeah. I think just with a little encouragement and love and time, she would get to love the adult in the home. Like, she likes us. Like, she's nice and friendly whenever I can get up to her. Like, she'll let me pet her. But then she just, like, if she's out and away, she's like 10 to 15 feet away always. She's never, like, running up to me. But with the kids, she's just running up to them, like, come on, let's play. And with other animals, too. So she's just like, she's a really good dog. So let us know if you are interested. Seriously, let us know. We're in North Carolina. And even if you're not, you want to make a trip, we'll do it. I'm so nervous. Only One Animal Clinic, it's me. Hi, this is Jonathan Murray. Just wanted to call and see, check on Rosie. Okay, actually, she is just now going into surgery. Okay. Well, she's in the middle of it. We've had a very busy and emergency-filled morning. Oh, my goodness. Let me check with the doctor. Hold on just a second. I'll come back because she is in surgery, hold on. Okay, yeah, no problem. Anyway, this is a great time to say thank you guys so much because your donations to the GoFundMe for Rosie helped make this happen without being a huge burden for our family, which we appreciate more than you know. Everything's going well. She said she was not going to spay her because there's always some blood loss from the amputation and she just didn't want to take the chance on spaying her Okay. with that. She said to call back about four because there's a possibility she may be going to keep her overnight and that will be at no charge to you if we keep her overnight. Okay. Awesome, thank you so much, I'll do that. Uh-huh. All right, bye. Bye. All right, everybody, we are heading to pick up Rosie. We had to run the loans for a pickup order. There's a winter weather advisory tonight in our area. Some nasty ice and maybe a little snow. Not much, but a lot of freezing, just nasty conditions. And so we want to make sure our animals are taken care of. So we got a couple more walls for the stanchion so that they can hang out. At least the cow and calf can hang out in there. And then we also got some straw for their bedding, keep them warm at night. So now we're heading to pick up Rosie and let's just see how she's doing. $7.87, do you need a receipt? Uh, sure. She'll come out and talk to you when we bring new Rosie up. Awesome, thank you so much. Rosie! Hi! I was going to ask you, I took a picture of her. If we can post it on our Facebook page, because she's the sweetest. Oh, she's so sweet. I would take her in a heartbeat, but I have three mean beagles. Yeah, well, our dogs, they get along really, and she does, she gets along with all of our animals, our other dogs, our chickens. Like, there's no aggression whatsoever. She's been super sweet. And so we're very much like, we love to keep her too. If she does cook with chickens, because my colleagues have killed so many chickens. Oh, our other dogs have too. If she does cook with chickens and you haven't found a place for her in a month, I will take her. Okay. Okay? Awesome. Because that's the thing, I cannot have the corgis and the chickens together. Right. Look at you, you're all stumped out. Let's go, this way. Come on, let's go, good girl. Let's go potty, come on. You go potty? Let's go this way. Go potty real quick. Good girl. You going potty? No? Aw, buddy. There you go, good girl. The vet said she did so good. She even said she was just the sweetest dog. We're home. There's Chase, ready to see his buddy. Hey, you gotta be calm. You gotta be calm because Rosie's home. You gotta be gentle with her. Rosie, look, it's Chase. Chase, get back, gentle. Be gentle. Look, it's your buddy. All right, Chase, down, down. Your buddy's here. Chase, down. Wanna go see Tyler? You sleepy? You wanna go lay down? All right, let's go lay down. So she's gotta wear the cone for the next two weeks while we get her stitches removed. It looks gross, guys. Be sweet to her. They don't want you to be rude to her. Oh, here she is. When it caught on fire, so dad. The vet said she has to wear that for two, till she gets the stitches removed in two weeks. But she said, she was so sweet, and she said if we can't find anybody to take her, that she'll take her. She said they can post about it, too. They can post about it, too, on their Facebook page. So like I said, we have a winter weather advisory. Got some hay in the back of the car. I had it on top of the roof, but all the hay was kinda blowing all over the place, or straw, sorry, not hay, straw. So we added these two panels to give more protection because we got the stanchion moved, our friend moved it with his tractor, but we didn't really think about the fact that the wind blows from this side here. So the rain, everything just pours right through there. So that should help fix that. But I do like it facing that way because I can see, or I could, no, I guess, I'll be able to see her head from the bedroom in the morning when John's milking and I'm nursing the baby, I can look out the window and see. Must be nice. I love it, I like it. Anyway, they got a lot of nice, cozy, warm strawberries. Yeah, some new straw. Doghouse made. Yeah, let me go down and show that. All right, and now this is what we made for the dogs, at least for one of them. The boy, he's like, no, don't do that. This will at least keep them out of the rain. Keep them warm. Come on, get in. Come on, show them how you go. Okay, now I'm done. Chase, get back. I can get him to go once if I carry it. You want that? It's in there, good luck. Maybe if you back up a little, she won't feel so scared. Maybe she will only go in it whenever she needs to. To be honest, yeah, if she really wants to, but I know a lot of people with great Pyrenees, this is a very common thing to make on small homesteads. And they don't ever use them, just because- What, then why we make it? Just so that we can say- We have something? I mean, they have what they need, right? Because before we had that shelter, but it's with the goats. And so instead of dragging that all around, we're making another one. In reality, we're making it, so hopefully she'll use it and stop laying in the cow's hay that she eats. Because that's the problem. She's laying on top of the wagon with the hay in it and not letting the cow get to it to eat it sometimes. So hopefully she'll lay in here, but they don't need a lot. These big, fluffy coats that they have, they're bred to be in the mountains, like the Pyrenees Mountains. Oh, is that what they get the name from? Covered in snow, out in the weather, protecting livestock, like that's what they live for. So if you ever see one laying out in the snow, it's because they want to be there, not because someone's making them. It's just the breed. It's just how God made them. Yeah, that reminds me of, we went and took our goats to be bred. Is that right? Is that the word you say? Knocked up. And the people who we like, we were dropping them off at, no, it's not, don't eat it. The people we were dropping them off at, they had this big chicken area and there were some areas that were really muddy and gross because it had just rained. And their great Pyrenees is literally laying in the mud and there's a shelter with hay and stuff, or straw for the animals to be covered by if they wanted to. And the dog was like, I'm good out here, so. Anyways, I'm gonna go get the cow, bring him over and then get him some hay. That should be about it, right? Honey bear, honey bear. All right, here's our other animals. We're bringing all of them over to the other area tonight to give them protection. All right, girl, let's get you going. Nice, good girl. You're a good girl. Here's our buddies, little goat buds. Oh, you're peeing, cool. Just got them back a few days ago, week or so ago, and hopefully they're both pregnant. All right, so everything is done out here. And now we just wait and see what happens with this weather. It's supposed to be pretty nasty out here, but we'll just see. Won't know until the morning because it's not starting until like 3 a.m. And I ain't staying up that long. So we'll keep you guys posted. Oh, it's time for dinner. We have a yummy potato broccoli cream soup. Cream of broccoli and potato soup. Me and, we made a lot tonight. Me and Bubba Zray, we're gonna eat it all. Are we gonna eat it all? Pound it. We also made delicious cookie. Did you eat half of it? No, look at me. So a few days ago, I made a gigantic batch of cookie dough. Actually, it wasn't even that much. I think it was like two or three times the recipe. Whatever, it wasn't a ton. But I have been storing it in a bowl with a lid in the fridge, so any time. Israel, that's something special, buddy. You've got a real talent for singing. Anyway, any time we want cookies, you just pull it out, you make a few, or whatever, make enough for us all to have a couple. And then you put the dough back in the fridge. That way you always get warm cookies. You don't have to freeze them, you don't have to reheat them. No need for a microwave. You just fresh out of the oven. I love it. But you don't have to make the dough every time. You don't. It's perfect, so that's where I'm tonight. And maybe a movie. Looking delish. Movie night tonight. Here it is, look. I got these bowls, I think from Target, I think. The Figment brand. And there was a set of three, and they're so cute, but they have these nice lids. Anyway, they have a clear lid, so you can see, make sure everything's still fresh. Love it. We also have pancake batter that I made a bunch of, and just store. Same thing, then you just have to make the pancakes. Yeah. Some people make the pancakes and freeze them. I make the batter. All right, goodnight. Oh, goodness. Bye.
