That’s what they’re calling him on the other forum. He did assist the birth, so it’s apt.

It’s actually not off, they just turned out the lights. There was someone out there a few minutes ago with a green, low-level light. I think it was a flashlight. It’s off now though too.

The lights are back on and Mandy has expelled the placenta finally.

In other news, Vi is actually letting Squirmy sleep and China, well, China is still eating and pooping.

See you all tomorrow!

Not to get anyone else addicted to another horse or anything… but I’ve been watching Pearl [http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=truecolours](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=truecolours) for a while. She’s just lovely, here are some pictures of her before she was pregnant [http://www.angelfire.com/on3/TrueColoursFarm/Pearl.html](http://www.angelfire.com/on3/TrueColoursFarm/Pearl.html)

She’s due in the next week or so.

Awwwwwwwwwww… Barry’s flat out asleep in a Black Watch tartan foal blanket.

ETA: Up now and getting a meal. A human (midhusband?) just came in, checked them, left. Mandy is such a good mom.

Squirmy’s down for a nap.

China’s pooped but not popped.

Barry ate and is passed out cold. Mandy is standing watch. She is a really good mom.

He’s back up! Nursing and Mandy just licked his butt. Damn, being an animal mom is gross.

Does anyone else think he’s HUGE?

Aww…he’s in milk-coma stage again. Squeeee!

Barry, passed out in his blanket. Mandy standing guard, eyes closed but ears moving.

Can we donate money to care of the rescued mama and her foal?

I’ve been thinking the same thing but I dare not go onto their website because it’s full of all sorts of viruses. I would be very interested in finding out more about their rescue centre and possibly make a donation.

Well, poop. Both China’s and Mandy’s webcams are down. Guess I’m actually going to have to work today. And in other news, Squirmy and Vi are moving out the foaling stall today and Sarenia will be moving in. I’m going to miss little Squirmy! ☹

**FloatyGimpy** , you can probably call the number I posted and ask about donating that way.

Mandy and Barry are back! He’s having another meal, after boinking around a bit in his wee blanket. Yes, he IS a big baby!

I’ve just turned on the cams this morning. Did they drug Virona and take Squirmy somewhere? She’s just standing there and I don’t see Squirmy anywhere.

That’s not Virona, she has a blaze. I think that must be Sarenia again.

Ah-ha! 🙂 Didn’t even think of that, thanks.

Something is bothering Mandy. She’s obviously agitated and keeps kicking and biting at her side.

I hope she hasn’t retained some of the placenta. Did the vet ever come out and check on her?
