Vet visit number one (how many vet visits does one donkey need in a week? A lot!!).
Cleaning out and bandaging the infected hoof.
The very patient donkey patient!
The foreman assures Wasabi that we're taking care of her donkey brother!
These two have been inseparable ever since Solo died.
More beautiful lambs! I love the how this one is trying to get her mama's attention!
The tilt of the head - so adorable!
"Mama! Mama! Mama! Look down!"
Got the boys a new dog bed, and they love it.
Checking in with Paco. By this time his front knees were also swollen.
Loving the new bed!
And getting ready for vet visit number two!
Waiting for the vet to show up.
Kisses from "Papa".
Checking out the hoof again.
Another new bandage. Yes, that's duct tape, folks!
Concerned siblings of two different species wait indoors.
Enjoying the sunshine on the new bed!
More lambs!
I just want to take one home!
Wasabi hoping that Paco will recover.
Vet visit number three! The day of xrays! Paco had to be heavily sedated for this. That's why he's standing calmly at the barn while Weegie investigates the xray equipment!
The vet and vet tech get ready - notice the protective anti-radiation gowns! (I stood far away!).
We had to have Luigi move into the pasture, but it was so cute - he stayed and watched the whole time.
Poor Paco!
They took a lot of xrays of one leg.
It isn't every day you see a donkey being xrayed, so I took a lot of photos!
The vet is checking out his computer to see the images.
Here's one of the xray images, above! Kind of cute! It will go in his donkey book, for sure!
The canvas print I ordered of Solo from Shutterfly arrived and I put it near the print of Boulder so I can see them both all the time.Oh, ugh. The above roll is filled with antibiotic paste for Paco. Really hard to get him to take it. We now have to mix it with applesauce and use a syringe to get it in his mouth!
The foreman arrives home after a long day of painting at the fixer...which, by the way, is now rented! We weren't quite ready, but we made it work, anyway!
Our really nice neighbors brought the boys this wheat grass treat!
Despite worrying so much about Paco, we still had a wonderful time down in Santa Cruz celebrating Randy's mom's 90th birthday!!! She is absolutely amazing at age 90!!
Juliana (the birthday girl!!) and Claire!
Relaxing in the living room.
Chatting with her grandson!
Nick and Paul!
Judith, the birthday girl and Claire!
Denise and Karina get caught up.
A toast!
Karina and the birthday girl!
The birthday dance! I also have a video of this, but could not upload it here for some reason.
I hope to be able to dance like this when I'm 90!!
Randy's sister did a great job picking out the lunch spread.
Here comes the cake!
Make a wish!
My ridiculous daughter!
Now that's better...
The birthday plant!
Planting the birthday plant.
Silly sisters and a yellow ribbon.
Dail supervises!
Putting a bow on Paul!
Many planting helpers!
The birthday girl with her daughter!
HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY, JULIANA!!!
The last few photos of the fixer before a client of ours rented it today (very rushed to get it all ready - the foreman spent the whole day putting up blinds, etc.!)...here's the new tile in the bathroom, which still needs to be grouted tomorrow in places.New carpet!
Finished kitchen!
Putting up blinds!
The new tenant moves in! Goodbye, fixer...at least for now!
The foreman gets an A+++ for another remodel well done!! I get pretty good grades for supervision and meal preparation and runs to Lowe's and Home Depot!
