Stu has now been on my farm for a week and a half. He was a bit shy when he first arrived, but he's really come out of his shell now. He was shy, but curious before, and now he's not as shy, but still very curious. He loves to start mischief, and one of his first orders of business was to get into t[...]
Saturday was the day I have been waiting for since last Sunday evening. Stu came home! Finally, everything was in place, and we were ready for the babies to come home. We made the trip down, and it was so nice to see both the babies and all the other babies on the farm! Stu was also laying do[...]
The day I went to Germany was Stu's ball day. He got them taken off, as well as had his hernia fixed. I was provided all the photos by Stu's breeder, although I will only share the non-gross ones. The castration went in the normal fashion, but the hernia fix was quite interesting. A[...]
His name is now Stubert, as you might have guessed. I mean, it was Stu, but then one day Dave called him Stubert out of nowhere, and I think I laughed for like 10 minutes. So Stubert it is. But only on formal occasions, he will still go by Stu in casual settings. The breeder continues to do thing[...]
I haven't seen Stu in a while, but his breeder has been sending me updates of the important baby work he's been doing He's been in baby training, learning very important things. And then the extremely important hula hoop. This will definitely come up in the future.[...]
I took advantage of the long weekend to make the trip to visit my baby Stu. I can't believe how much he's grown since I last saw him! I think that mainly his joints have thickened. They look a big stocky now. The trainer has worked with him a few times, but nothing extensive. I went down ma[...]
I feel like I only talk about one thing these days...and I have good news, I'm not going to write a lengthy post about him! Instead, here's a post made up mostly by some of the dozens of photos of Stu during his recent inspection. I feel like they will go to waste if I don't post them. &nb[...]
Sharpie's inspection was going to be today, July 28, 2017, but due to likely all-day thunderstorms, it was moved to yesterday. This meant I was already at work, working, when I received the notice that Sharpie was going to be inspected, and did I want to come watch. I did, but I had a meeting at wor[...]
So basically, Sharpie is all I have on my mind these days. Even as I'm scratching Pony, all I can think is, Wow, Pony, you sure are fatter than Sharpie. And he is. And he's going to be getting the muzzle of shame because he's gotten so fat. Seriously, that Pony needs to be on a diet. But that's anot[...]
Yesterday the vet checked out Sharpie, and he officially became mine. I basically already announced him before due to excitement, but now he's truly and officially mine! Which means I can tell way more about his bloodlines without feeling like a weirdo stalker of breeders. But first, his vet insp[...]
