The Siler family

May 3, 2019

I was unable to attend meet 3 because I was home taking care of Ava, but I was able to capture some photos taken by others. Maddie had a great 3rd meet and qualified for state in reining, keyhole, working pairs, and drill! Great job Madeline!

Roosters

We recently had to downsize our chicken flock because we had too many roosters. Maddie and Lucy decided that the roos needed a little spa treatment before moving on to their next home. I didn't realize that chickens would like a bath and blow dry but they most certainly did!

Miss Tinker

Miss Tinker did very well at her first show. She acted like she has been showing for years! She is such a sweet baby horse.

After we got home from the show Tinker has an episode of colic. We think that she didn't drink enough water because she didn't like the taste of the city water with chlorine in it. Spoiled girl likes her well water. We learned at her next show that she would drink the water if we put orange Gatorade in it!

Roxy and Tinker are very good friends. Roxy didn't want to leave Tinker when she was lying down. I think Tinker appreciated her company.

My new hip

My hip is 5 weeks old today. I still have good days and bad days... nights are still pretty rough... My left (operated) leg is still about 3/4" longer than my right. I'm told this should even out as the inflammation goes down and the new hip joint can settle into the socket a bit better. We shall see! I can't wait to feel normal again!
