The longer we have Blaze the more connected he and R become… It’s been really wonderful to watch the two of them becoming closer and more in-sync with each other each time she rides. She’s started taking him out of the pasture for some trail rides lately, something that’s fun for him and more challenging [...]

Things are still very tricky here… M is having some good, calm days, but he’s also having lots of difficult, unsettled days. I’ve been trying to find a balance between keeping him connected to the community during this rough time, and keeping him close to home because he’s so unpredictable right now. It’s been a hard [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted… I’ve been writing a lot lately, even waking up early with so many thoughts rushing around in my head that I just have to get up and write them down… to get them out. But I haven’t written anything I felt like I could post here. Most of my writing [...]

…although Tilly mistook it for one the other day. It’s amazing how hard a donkey can bite when they think they are biting an apple. It’s also pretty amazing how stupid I can be. It’s a good thing our animals are good natured and very forgiving of my barnyard cluelessness. Here’s what happened… I’d gone [...]

I finally heard back from the pdoc who did the consult a few weeks ago with M. Unfortunately, she didn’t have much in the way of suggestions. She thought of a couple of long-shot meds that might help with mood, but had no ideas for anything to try for the psychosis. She asked how M [...]

I know there are probably plenty of people who wouldn’t understand or agree with what I’m about to say, but I’m going to say it anyway. Sometimes one of the best things about having kids who are developmentally delayed is that they are, well….developmentally delayed. So while most kids are growing up WAY too fast, [...]

Happy 4th of July! I can’t believe it’s been a week since I’ve posted… We’ve been keeping very busy, the days are just flying by. It’s been an up and down kind of week, but that seems to be the norm for us. On the “up” side, I had the vet out last night to [...]
