She gets a little anxious when we put her in a kennel but that’s because she’s a rescue

I don’t have an alternative for a kennel

#

That looks like a PNG that you put on your wall and then had a schizophrenic episode and believe it's your dog.

#

I see it's a dog, albeit said dog is the same shade of white as a snowball, I can deduce that you don't see the individual strands of fur. So, my conclusion is you are either blind or of the same amount of intelligence as a light bulb.

# main topaz and a soft blanket 😭

Done! lol she’s been sleeping a lot thankfully and she does have pain meds on board so she’ll hopefully recover swiftly (she’s also been and will be eating better than I have for the next few weeks lol)

main topaz
#

Good good
Our vet told us when dogs have surgery, for a few hours after anesthesia their body temp drops and so a blanket can help them feel better (cos warmth)

So when we had Keeonah spayed a couple years ago, and also like half her teeth out yesterday, they reminded us to snug her up when she settled.

#

Nonah is on the soft food special at this point 😂
all the stinky wet food she could wish for

crystal ivy
safe remnant
vivid vector
#

Still loves blankets though so I snuggle her up anyway

main topaz
#

don't get me wrong - Keeonahs food is basically human grade mince in a can

#

it just also smells VERY meaty 😂

#

but yeah.. Husbro was like "if we cant put her back on kibble - then I am not against going to the butcher and getting stuff for us to make her food"

vivid vector
#

Yeah mine are usually kibble dogs (with bites of doggie safe “human” food occasionally lol) but I’ll do something special for bdays and recoveries completely get the canned dog food though that smell is pungent! lol

I tried canned food when ranger was little but he had a habit of leaving it in the bowl (they both are pretty much grazers only eating little bites over the course of hours) so it wouldn’t be any good by the time he would want to eat it

main topaz
#

Thankfully she consumes her meals -

vivid vector
#

Yeah and the fact that it just goes to waste is a bummer

#

Glad your girl is cooperative lol

main topaz
#

And we're the same here. Safe bites of things. She's 12, she's earned them atp.
Plus she's ridiculously well behaved so .. 😂

main topaz
vivid vector
#

Thankfully they do like the homemade stuff and will eat that in a sitting maybe they’d go for the canned stuff now too idk I’d have to do so much research again though to find the right one (cursed allergies haha)

main topaz
#

Omg no the worst.
Are you in the states?

vivid vector
#

Yes so much poultry and potato’s in everything

main topaz
#

Oof

vivid vector
#

I get why, potato starch is a good binder and thickener and poultry is cheep and healthy but dang is it inconvenient haha

main topaz
#

Look at Weruva canned food
They might have some that are free of poultry/ taters

vivid vector
#

I’ll check it out thanks!

main topaz
#

It's human grade (like you could open a can and consume)
Smells like human food

#

Idk if the beef based ones will suit your situation

#

Natural Balance LID also might have a contender
They do use potatoes in some and poultry in some, but it's a limited ingredient diet specifically for animals with allergies so you might get a win there

#

Evangers canned food is also swell.
Its literally 1 ingredient

vivid vector
#

I’ve mainly been using a mix of Acana kibbles (cause it’s what I can find locally) but their canned stuff is kinda meh even if they do use high quality ingredients

main topaz
#

Hmm yeah

#

We sold bags of acana but never pushed the cans really well at the store I worked at

#

Same for Stella and chewy

#

Bags sold great

#

But the raw/frozen was a different story

#

Like ofc it had buyers.. but not enough to justify it imo

#

My bosses daughter was the main consumer

vivid vector
#

lol prolly the reason it was carried in the first place

#

I can see her asking her dad to get it for her haha

main topaz
#

You've no ideaaaaaa.

#

Great kid.. entitled af.

Oof lol

#

Lol ranger did not appreciate me disturbing his blanket nest to check on him

main topaz
#

"I was comfy. Put the lid back on."

vivid vector
#

Yep lol

main topaz
#

Here's an example of the Evangers beef can, btw.

vivid vector
#

Ah nice!

main topaz
#

They have a few flavors like that. Real simple diet.. and iirc that's a 12 oz can

vivid vector
#

Red meat recipe (4.5lbs)
Freshwater blend (13lbs)
Wild Atlantic (4.5lbs)
Wholesome grains red meat (22.5lbs)

This is the Acana kibbles I use I read somewhere that exposure to a lot of different proteins can help prevent future allergies (hope that’s true)

main topaz
vivid vector
#

Ah good comparison! (and a bit ironic? (Not sure if that’s the right word) cause I work at a honey extraction plant lol)

main topaz
#

It's not surefire guaranteed, but it's more likely to help.
-# me, surrounding myself with animals, allergies be damned

vivid vector
#

Dang no one in my town carries either of those brands… guess I have to suck it up and make a chewy account

#

Rural problems lol

main topaz
#

Check amazon too and price compare

vivid vector
#

Ah true

main topaz
#

Used to hate that amazon would sell food for less than we could buy it for to stock shelves

#

Now that I don't work there is like... but that is money in my pocket.

well... I'm glad she landed somewhere good, with you all

Yeah.. in another server I'm in, the admins were like up my ass questioning me over everything and I was like well yeah I know it's not a typical pet, I didn't buy the thing I'm only watching her for my dad when he's away at work. And they were all frazzled over it lol

#

One of the main things I told them was we've got the money and means to get her what she needs so it's not like it was some impulse buy just because it was cool. She could of ended up with someone who can't properly care for her

birds are a lil stinky sometimes

mighty cradle
#

I've never had it I've only seen it lol

#

Every animal can be stinky

main topaz
#

(birds are so rarely stinky. If you smell them theres something afoot. Their dander CAN have an odor, but its like.. dusty smelling, not stinky smelling)

I've never had a bird for a pet

#

Wet bird is actually a lil stinky? Wet feathers and warmth.
I like it though, kinda like how some people say horses smell - but the horse people like the smell

#

(I do not think horses smell)

#

Deer are also great

#

We house raised some Sika and Fallow

He takes a bath in his water container and he smells clean after

I like to say I've had more "weird" pets than I have normal ones lol. I've never had a hamster or like a bird but I've had axolotls, a leopard gecko, a baby fox, baby raccoons, baby deer and elk, once had two bobcats, had a zonkey, a mule, and now a kangaroo (plus dogs and cats)

Oh yes my grandfather was not so happy with the vermin puppy’s and trapped and shot a bunch of them

#

We also got two new dogs

terse eagle
# main topaz I love her 🥺

She is the littlest thing ever, when I went to pick her up to go in the hutch it was a one arm pickup and she just stared up and leaned against me like a puppy, I don’t normally rly like the calves but she’s to good of a puppy calf😭

#

Do y'all let them stay with mom a few days to get their colostrum and stuff?

I grew up on the Dairy that my family owns, I don't know how many calves I saw get stepped over by their mom

main topaz
#

I don't think we ever had a stomp-loss

#

Other issues, surely

#

but I don't recall a single trample

mighty cradle
#

Interesting, maybe a genetics thing?

main topaz
#

Could tell ya.
We had holsteins 😂

mighty cradle
#

I know a lot of other dairies that do the same thing that we do because of tramplings

main topaz
#

couple ayrshires, a couple brown swiss, and some linebacks

mighty cradle
#

Yeah, we've got a mix of Holstein, brown Swiss, and one other type I don't remember

#

I think we have maybe around 700 cows?

main topaz
#

I don't think we had anything like.. spectacular insofar as genetics tho.

But yeah, the moms had like double-triple-wide stalls when it was just a few

mighty cradle
#

How many did y'all have ?

main topaz
#

When it was a significant portion of the herd we would take the babies because atp just easier

#

not a lot, small ahh private farm.
Maybe 200 head, tops

mighty cradle
#

we keep ours in these giant pens and I think we've got 12 pens total for adults and then there's three for calves once they're older. Calves under 120 days we keep in hutches and we bottle feed them until I think 60 days?

#

We had a calf years ago that was so small its head was the size of a Mountain Dew bottle (preemie)

main topaz
#

Yeah nah.. We never hutched our calves. If enough moms dropped at once we basically closed off half of one run of stalls and made plank fencing and gave the calves their own little pen.
Sometimes if Mom was a superproducer we would walk baby to and from her for the first few days before milking her out into a canister and freezing the excess for emergency babies
but for the most part, if we could we let them nurse off for the goods

#

and after that we would just milk them into the line that ran across the ceiling into the bulk tank

mighty cradle
#

Fair enough yalls set up sounds pretty neat

#

Whenever we have sick cows or if a cow is being bullied by others we let it roam the property lol

main topaz
#

We had "the cell" 😂

#

for a while, we raised a bull every few years

#

from one of our calves and always one we ordered Artificial "tubes" of (just to keep bloodlines from being too "neighborly")

#

and once he started being all bigman - the "cell" became his home

#

(3" steel piping in a big cube. He got to go out with the ladies whenever - but when it was inside time, he went to the cell)

#

Our last one - Marshmallow - he was literally such an angel.

#

trying to find a picture of one that looks like how he did (Linebacks - "Randall Cattle" - have like... 3 distinct patterns on the regular iirc)

#

okayso... The calf on the right -

#

That mostly white pattern on this build

mighty cradle
#

Oh wow those are gorgeous cows

#

I love it whenever we have a blonde one, and there's been a few times we had like a silver grey calf, not common but it's happened maybe twice. They're my favorites

main topaz
#

but his shoulders were hulkier. He just was THICC.
I loved him. He would let me hug his head and like, lift me and bob up and down.

Which of course would horrify my grandad.. cos you know.. Bulls can switch with their tempers.

mighty cradle
#

Yeah our bulls I think the last few years have been rather mean to people

#

Mostly the milkers cause even tho their told don't mess with them they like to taunt the bulls 🤦🏻‍♀️

main topaz
#

well.. That sounds like a them issue.

#

and not the bulls.

mighty cradle
#

Yeah we laugh at them when the bull hurts them because we specifically told you not to do that under any circumstance but you did it

main topaz
#

(which I mean, lets be real, animal just gonna animal. When they act up - its them doing their norm. We are the compounding factor.)

#

Marshmallow was my baby.. Like they were gonna keep him, regardless, but I specifically took over the feeding and handling of him. I became mom-away-from-mom.

mighty cradle
#

That's awesome

main topaz
#

When he hit two they gave him his nose-ring (I was away at school and was visiting every long weekend/vacation that I could but my mom lived 2 hours from my grandad)
Everyone needed to use the softlead on his ring, I would show up and just cup under his chin and gently put pressure and he'd just walk with me and grumble the entire time

mighty cradle
#

Back in 2017 I think, we had a calf born and yk how sometimes they refuse to walk on their hooves and walk on their "ankles"? She wouldn't stop doing that. But she was also tiny. So we named her stubby and she was my calf. I fed her and took care of her, I loved her lol

main topaz
#

I kept telling them to give him peppermints and sweet grain as treats kappa

#

omg thats the worst 😭 those lil loose ankles

#

I'm glad she had you though!

mighty cradle
#

I think she ended up passing away cause she got pneumonia or something though, I don't fully remember. I was probably 10 or so at the time

#

Or my grandma sold her lol

main topaz
#

I think we stopped the breeding after a series of bad times
One of our cows mummified her calf at the end of gestation.. so effectively she carried around it's little body for forever. Surgery was not an option for whatever reason - so she became the yard pet.

That same year we sent some cattle to a guys property to help him maintain his field (eating it down) and one died to what we think was coyotes. He left her in the field cos she wouldnt come in one night (she was stubborn) and it was summer so he was like "eh whats the harm" 🙄
One collapsed in the field and died "randomly" (we autopsied her at our farm and saw nothing wrong.. til we cleared her stomachs and found them full of twine and bale wrapping.) Dude was NOT picking up the twine and plastic off the round bales - just was cutting them and leaving them
Lost a series of calves that we AI'd with like.. 75-125$ tubes (which then was the expensive price range, idk what they run now for good bulls)
One calf was aborted by mom - malformed with a shoulder-leg on top of the 4 normals

#

I think that was the beginning of the end
They ran into some issues and effectively sold out the herd to pay down the debts. Sucked, a lot.
I mean rationally I understand.
But 13yo me was furious.

mighty cradle
#

Yeah, my family's been in the business for probably 60 years. With this one farm alone, there was another one that was up and running from like the 1970s probably if not any earlier

#

My great grandpa and great grandma started it in one area and then my grandma and grandpa continued it across town on another farm

main topaz
#

I love that.
My grandad was the Herdsman for UNH's Dairy Program for.. god idk, 30-something years?

mighty cradle
#

But I bet we're close to selling out. It sounds like they're in a lot of debt and the sun that they wanted to take over doesn't seem to want to do it anymore, but they also divided the agriculture part up from the Dairy itself and so my other uncle runs the agriculture and the other one is supposed to run the Dairy portion, but they can't get along

#

There's so much family drama surrounding the youngest brother and his wife that nobody else in the family gets along with them

main topaz
#

Thats so the worst

#

esp when its like.. the whole arse family history

#

Well I hope for the best for you all.
Or at least that the siblings can get it together enough to like.. WORK together to whatever degree they have overlap
