Hubby put the hay in - she only needed a little snack as she was out on the lush pasture for a couple of hours this afternoon. He always thinks more is better - we tend have have "discussions" over it!!!!. The cat has as big a belly as RJ - so maybe they will have their babies together!!!! I put the cat (Sabrina) in the mini penthouse as we have a lot of toms around and she lost her last litter - I never found the babies - so if she decides to have her kittens at least they are safe for tonight. It sounds like RJ doesn't really appreciate her though - I didn't see what went on - but RJ is so cranky (not like her easy going get along with everyone) self.

Her bag is about the same - I emailed her previous owner to see what she did for signs last year. She was pasture bred so she didn't know how many days gestation she was. She did say that her bag got fairly big and her body really looked sunken. She is already so soft in the rear end and sunken over her croup - and I am starting to see her backbone due to the weight of the foal. She really has a big tummy for a little horse - I'm sure she will feel so much better once she foals. When we bought her and transported her home - her foal was about a month old. RJ was thin then - and we had a heck of a time getting the weight back on her after her filly was weaned. She got extra pellets and grain for the winter as I was worried that she was a little thin going into our colt winters. She is just one of those mares that puts everything into her foal I guess. One of my sons said when he saw her a couple of months ago - well I guess you did a great job of putting the weight back on RJ - she is fat now. But it really is all baby belly!!!! So - anytime RJ - the sooner the better!!!!!!!!

thanks ....yes she is very big ....she moves around pretty good though for such a huge belly . i will be watching . i have a mare that just puts all her weight into the baby like she does so once baby is born she is skin and bones but once baby is weaned shse puts the weight on really fast

We are having a big thunder storm - lots of thunder and lightning - and rain. So not sure if our Internet will stay up during this storm. RJ doesn't seem the least bit concerned over it.

Our power has gone off several times - but the storm seems to be subsiding now - so hopefully the internet will stay up all night. I am heading off to bed now.

RJ is progressing slowly - her kitty friend had her kittens yesterday - but I can't find them so I don't know whether they are alive or not. So now Bob The Builder is back by herself.
