Many Thanks to Mandy

Yesterday, Tessa woke up in a very cranky mood. She fussy and just loved to scream. Oh lovely headaches. I think I have taken more tylenal for headaches since I have had Tessa than in my previous twenty-three years combined.

So, I spent most of my afternoon trying to keep her entertained which seems to wear me out. I did call the guy that sold us Sugar and asked him if Spice was still for sell. He is a hard man to talk to because he seems to get off subject extremely easy. But eventually, he told me that Spice was still for sale and what he would take for her. We could stretch our money and pay for her so we did. Casey got off work at 5 and I wanted to go for a walk. I decided that the only thing keeping me from losing weight was my own excuses (nicely stated, Misty) So at 5, I left casey here to take care of Tessa and I went for a walk down the road. Well, I tried to walk and jog equal distances using the highline poles to judge distance. I would walk to one and run to the next and so on. By the time I was on the last part of my walk, I was walking through two poles and running to one. I think I walked 1.9 miles in 25 minutes and it felt good. After that, we had one hour to get all of the chores done and be ready to go pick up Spice.

Poor Sugar cried all day yesteday and she never would lay down and relax. So Last night at seven we went to pick up Spice. When we got back here and unloaded her, she was not happy. But Sugar was extremely happy. So we put them in the pen together and by the time I had fed all the dogs, they both seemed happy. 

When I went into the house, Casey was trying to keep Tessa entertained. She was red faced and extremely fussy. She seemed so uncomfortabe. I was starting to get worried, So I took her temperature. It read low with the ear thermometer and with the passifier thermometer. So I had casey text Mandy because it was 3 degrees low and that scared me since she had been so cranky. Mandy told us to take her temp under her arm and add one degree to it. So I did that and it came out normal. It was a huge relief! Thank you very much Mandy!! Tessa slept all through last night. I only had to get up twice because she lost her passifier and as soon as I gave it to her, she went right to sleep.Right now, she is sleeping again and has been asleep for almost two hours on my lap. I think she may be going through a growth spurt. Today, has not been very eventful. We went with Casey to check and feed cattle until noon today. Then we had salads for lunch and now Casey is back at work and I'm waiting for Tessa to wake up. After she wakes up, we will probably go tag new calves that were born last night and help Casey finnish feeding hay. It's going to be a good day =-)
