Thanks, Hqueen!
Been there, done that, Deb. Only, I've been lucky that most of my horses have tolerated their foot soaks pretty well. Red was none to happy about it - mostly because goats abhor water! But, I tried to make it just the right temp and she tolerated it fairly well. What she did NOT like was me trying to clean it out...and it's deep....probably about a half inch at the heel portion.
I was busy, busy, busy before work today. On top of regular feeding chores I treated the babies with Ivomec pour on - saw some lice eggs on 'em yesterday - ugh. Gave Lil Bit an iron injection and booted her back out to the pasture, then gave Red a shot of penicillan. She's got some swelling in that foot and I kinda hate bandaging a wound like because of the possibility of trapping some yuckies in there - hence the antibiotic.
Made a breakfast casserole last night to help me stick with the low-carb stuff. I'm so busy in the mornings that I have gotten into the habit of driving through the donut shop and grabbing a sausage kolace before work. I HAVE TO STOP THAT! So, I spread some pan sausage out in a casserole dish, pre-baked it a bit, spread some cream cheese on top, added a thin layer of sauteed onions and peppers, poured on some beaten eggs and baked it until set. When it came out of the oven I sprinkled it with a little bit of grated cheese....OMG! Now I've got breakfast for DH and I for the week. Cut a square, nuke it for a minute and "voila" hot low-carb breakfast. Pretty tasty too. I'm gonna try to think of some variations so I don't get bored with it.
OH! I've got seedlings coming up. I didn't check everywhere, but I do have some of my tomatoes that I direct sowed sprouting through. Woo Hoo! We're supposed to have a drizzly day today with a possibility of thundershowers tomorrow. Garden needs it so I'm not gonna complain. Just hope we don't get a frog choker! Weekend is supposed to be nice so I'm gonna try to get my scalding pot out, off a few roo's and try out my new plucker. I'd like to get some broth canned up but not sure I'll get to that. If nothing else I can freeze 'em until I have time.
Geeze, I have such big plans and so little time....

Poor girl.
. I'm going to have to get some sausage and try it. But, maybe I can separate some eggs and have a meringue on top.
