Bacon is my favorite and I don’t work on pigs.
I’m actually allergic to live pigs and cats.
No pigs. No Cats.
Pictures for dramatic effect.

Some of you may remember or recognize my sweet girl Julep Pearl pictured here, ever ready to help, always happy and always by my side. She was one of the best dogs ever put on this planet and she left us over seven years ago. But I still remember her and for some reason this quote that I saw today made me think about her, and I thought I’d share it with you…

“To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you
have lived -
This is to have succeeded.”
- by Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is what she did, this is what I hope we all will do.

Last minute warning!!!
It’s going to freeze early tomorrow morning.
Put out heat lamps on your chicks, puppies and calves. Cover your favorite plants and bring grandma in off the porch.

He’s a 3 day old heifer that I delivered a few mornings ago. The Brahma cow’s name is Shadow, the calf is Juliet.

Two mornings ago I met this cow in the rain. She couldn’t get up, was full term pregnant, had milk fever and ketosis. We treated her the best we knew how and this morning I get this picture.
Thanks Woody!

The South Carolina State Veterinarian’s office received laboratory confirmation Friday, February 2, 2024 of the 1st case of West Nile Virus in SC in 2024. It was a 19 yr. old QH Gelding located in Charleston County. Unfortunately, the horse had to be euthanized.

Is your horse protected against neurologic diseases?
What else can your horse be protected against ?

Today I adopted a human.

It broke my heart to see him so alone and confused. I suddenly saw his watery eyes as he looked into mine. So I barked with all my might and went after him, following from house to house. Finally, I got close enough to touch his hand with my nose. The man smiled and I felt his heart begin to warm. I moved closer to his face and felt his tears start to flow. I looked at him and he replied with a beautiful smile. I jumped into his lap excitedly, promising that he would be fine, that I would love him forever, and that I would never leave him. How fortunate that he passed by where I was and that we could meet like that. I felt lucky too. So many people have been there, but only he—only he—stopped and looked at me. I'm glad he made a choice and that I was able to save his life. Today I adopted a human. ~Author unknown
