Kay, I got a couple of really good view of Flirt today, in the right light and proper angle she IS huge :lol: :lol: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: Holy cow!!! :roll: :roll: So when you checked her milk did you find that she is getting even closer than you thought???

tlrnhi 05-27-2009 07:16 PM

She is huge, huh, Amma?

Look at her just grazing. UGH!

amma 05-27-2009 07:34 PM

Her foal is pretty darn active tonight :shock: He/She is sure kicking the daylights out of her :( :(

kaykay 05-28-2009 02:30 AM

Sorry guys! Hubby took over the computer last night and I fell asleep waiting for him to get done. That foal is really kicking and making her miserable. Must be time for the baby to come LOL.

Tonight we will do another milk sample on both. Patches bag shrank back again yesterday so I think shes a little further out then Flirt

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 03:31 AM

Hey all......Foaling Fairies are in there! WOOHOO!! lol

Hot Diggity Dawg!!!!!! Put back those ugly ones ladies, I want your prettys my dears (spoken like the Wicked Witch of the West).

Woohoo, come on Foaling Fairies, do your stuff!

gaigai 05-28-2009 05:36 AM

I finally got the foal cam to come up on my pc laptop. Imagine my disappointment not to see a mommy & baby. Just a handsome fella mucking the stall. Oh well, he's nice to look at too!

Since there obviously isn't a baby, either the foaling fairies are taking a break, or playing a joke on us, or I've counted my FQ's before they've foaled! LOL

I SWEAR I am not going to stay up all day watching that camera. I have to sleep! It's my 4th 12 in a row! Really. (I'm trying hard to convince myself)

okay not to confuse anyone again but that is Meadow now in the stall. I had to put her in to get a urine sample so I can see if shes preggers. she will be let back out shortly :)


Kay

gaigai 05-28-2009 07:16 AM

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I thought something was seriously wrong with me. Like, I had forgotten what a preggers mare looked like just before delivery!!! I just kept saying, "That mare doesn't look pregnant to me!?!" Over and over. Whew, now I can go to bed. I've shut down the "Mare Stare". LOL. Love that name!!!!! Of course you know that I'll jump out of bed this afternoon and immediately run in to turn on my laptop for an update!

You go girl!!!

Ninnie 05-28-2009 08:52 AM

Please keep the updates comming1

I have RealPlayer and pasted the link and still can't get pics., On dial up everything is extra hard and i do so want to watch! I am an old horse lover from way back, we had an old white mare that we used to ride bareback as kids. She was gteat , but those sudden stops would get me once in a while! :lol: :lol: I got pretty good at falling and not getting hurt!

Aunt Doggie 05-28-2009 09:50 AM

OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!
Was just on your website! The coloring of Wauk A Way is SOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful!! You couldn't have painted better!

Very jealous as I am huge horse lover! One day I shall live in Lexington KY so I am at least close to, and can hopefully at least smell them on daily basis!!

I will check out the cam when I get home from work...Thank you!


kaykay 05-28-2009 10:23 AM

Thank you so much!! His daughter was on cam for a bit today and shes a carbon copy of her dad :) Unfortunately the test came back negative and shes not in foal :(

I will post an update later when I put one of them back in

amma 05-28-2009 11:37 AM

Kay, are you having cam problems or did you turn it off?

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 03:21 PM

Just a reminder.
The poll is for PATCHES, not FLIRT.
If you want to do one for Flirt, we can. Just let me know.

kaykay 05-28-2009 03:58 PM

Poor Terri! Flirt is still ahead of patches. Im sorry but I didnt know the cam was down but its back up now. You all missed her kicking me in the knee when I went to get a milk sample. Now she has been fine with it all week and tonight NO WAY. Her udder is very tight so I think we are getting closer. She was rolling and rubbing all day today. Just wish I could have got a milk sample so I know weather to stay up LOL.

she does look like shes dropping as her flanks are getting loose

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 04:07 PM

I was going to say that her butt area did look like it changed a little.
Maybe she'll go this weekend? We can only hope lol
Then Patches can get a move on and have that foal on the 4th for me :)

Had checked her just a bit ago and was going to give you a call to let you know cam was down, but by the time I got back to computer and checked again, you had it back up and running. :)

kaykay 05-28-2009 05:12 PM

Hmm she has really been kicking her belly like crazy. Think Im going to stay up late and watch some more. Then again its flirt and shes a drama queen

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 05:17 PM

Was it Flirt or Patches that almost took the wall down?

kaykay 05-28-2009 05:22 PM

I think it was both LOL.

Flirt has always been a pain because she will really carry on like a mare in labor and then nothing. Thats why her first foal was called baxters just teasin ya.

We are having another storm roll thru so just so ya all know if the cam goes down its the stupid storm

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 05:26 PM

At least you didn't name it Baxters Pain In The Arse! lol

gaigai 05-28-2009 07:00 PM

Maybe not, but I'll bet Flirt was calling it by that name for a while there!


JoanneS 05-28-2009 07:52 PM

I'm not in the pool, but I watching like everyone else. Mesmerizing!

zyxquilts 05-28-2009 08:13 PM

Look at her hiding in the corner from us! Get back there in the middle Flirt!!!

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 11:20 PM

Oh just look at her laying there sleeping!
You know, Flirt...you could do some rolling around and such to get that baby moving!!

T, I've had mom watching the site for me while I'm here at work but she's gone to bed. Thanks for the update. Ma got me all excited for a while because she said Flirt was kicking and nudging her sides and then laid down and ms thought she saw a"wet spot" near her tail. I was so excited, but I guess either she or Flirt was just messing with me. It's a good thing both my patients are sleeping!!!

tlrnhi 05-28-2009 11:47 PM

Just tell your mom that when she starts rolling REALLY hard while she's down, that's when it's time to get excited. BUT....don't get too excited because most of the time when she does that, she just hops back up and goes and feeds her face! Silly mare!
Patches does the same thing too!

gaigai 05-29-2009 12:07 AM

Obviously she's a tease as well as a flirt! Hey, that would be a good name for the foal--Little Teaser!

Does she have a patch on her side that looks like a pawprint?

tlrnhi 05-29-2009 12:56 AM

Kay has one named Tease.
Yea, I guess you could say it looks like a paw print.
Have to get a close up of it to be sure

Ok, is it me not seeing right or is her hind quarters sagging even more?
I'm sure once Kay is up, she'll let us know.

tlrnhi 05-29-2009 01:03 AM

Hmm....she's got the yawning thing going on now........
I'm thinking she's not going to hold out til the end of the weekend.

kaykay 05-29-2009 01:13 AM

good morning!! Terri I do think your right and we will probably see a foal today or tomorrow. Boy for a couple hours last night she was really going! I almost went out to check her and then I reminded myself that its Flirt the drama queen LOL

Her hips look even more sunk in today. Im up early as I am going to a tack sale today but hubby will be home keeping an eye on the drama queen.

Did you guys see her doing the grasshopper legs?? (rubbing back legs together) for most mares that means they are going to foal any minute. Just not flirt :)

tlrnhi 05-29-2009 01:23 AM

I saw that grasshopper leg thing. Before she did that, she was biting on her leg, so I just figured she still had the itch. Then I remembered you said something before about grasshopper legs, so I just kept watching.

Did anyone go out to her stall about 20 min ago or is there another mare that can maybe cast a shadow into the stall? I saw a shadow of what looked like a head or something. Could have been my imagination....I did see a "tail foal" last year, remember? lol

youme 05-29-2009 01:29 AM

Morning, Kaykay
A big foaling watcher from Japan is here!! LOL
I found te cam is on again right now. Lucky me, I haven't missed the foaling.

Maybe the Barn Cat? I dunno. Was weird. I saw it twice. Looked like the shadow of someone's head. I know it wasn't Flirt's shadow lol

youme 05-29-2009 01:44 AM

Evening, Terri. Where is the shadow??? Not Shadow dancer??LOL

youme 05-29-2009 02:01 AM

She is just sleeping???

kaykay 05-29-2009 02:23 AM

Did you see that HUGE belly shot LOL. Yes shes just resting. Wow that belly is big!

tlrnhi 05-29-2009 02:25 AM

Can we just go out there and push on her belly?
