yay nina.
doris seemed much less stressed to me late last night when i got home. we discovered her heart rate was really irregular so we started her on some foretkor as a trial and fingers are crossed that she settles out again. here is the thing with cardiac disease..it can cause a whole host of odd problems...like tachycardia can mirror panic attacks because the animal actually does feel very anxious because their heart is racing....bradycardia (too slow of a rate) can mirror depression because their heart is not beating fast enough for the animal to do much more than sleep.

we have started the basics for the barn yard reno's..(this is what the abbotsford foundation grant is for)...lyle was here yesterday with his machines to clean everything up...the loafing shed needed scooping out in prep to become the new hay shed, the road to the bottom field needed widening because we are fencing off the section closest to the barn so the little pigs have a really big play yard. he was still working when i left yesterday for the dinner i had to go to so i won't see the final tidied up result til later today when i get home from work.

steve should be here soon to work on the actual reno's.

REMINDER

That's great about Nina...and little Doris. I have been very concerned about her. I noticed that Doris did look a bit overwhelmed when the 2 cats arrived. One cat especially seemed agitated (not aggressive), maybe Doris picked up that energy. I hope kitties settle and Doris recovers. I would like to sponsor Doris.
