Hello all, it's been a while. I've started my new job and I'm definitely getting used to the new schedule. Emma-pup is sad that she can't go in with me so I'm trying to spend extra time running with her and taking her on lots of walks. I'm sad that I will only be able to see Mort in the daylight on weekends and that my new job doesn't put me near the barn on my commute. But, I'm very happy with the new work environment, pay, benefits, distance from home, etc. It'll all be worth the change but it's definitely an adjustment.
Steven and I have finally gotten the land we're looking at surveyed. It's just about exactly 20 acres. It's got blacktop road frontage. It's got about 8 acres of woods. It's got a small pond and an adorable little creek. We're very excited to get started clearing and knocking down brush to hopefully start building in the spring. Lots of work ahead of us there, but we couldn't be more excited.
Mort has been better on the ulcerguard. This is great news to know what is bothering him and that it's a very fixable issue. It sucks that fixing uclers is so expensive. It also sucks that my poor guy had a tummy ache for the last month. It's been overall good to have my normal sassy boy back and we'll get him fixed up in no time. I'll also be talking to my vet for future management changes that will hopefully prevent some future issues.
He got a bath yesterday and today he's getting another trace clip as so much of his hair has grown back. He's a fuzzy beast. It's been ridiculously warm for this time of year, but it's looking like next week we'll finally be getting real winter weather. Good thing Mort has a lot of blankets to keep him warm.
This post has been all over the place, as has my brain lately but overall we've got some good things on the horizons!
