I just tuned in, and wow, she is trying to dig her way to China! I hope she’s pretty close, or she may tunnel her way out of the stall. ---

Well, hell – now she’s looking comfortable again. And I need to go out for half an hour or so to do the late feeding at the barn – do I dare go? Ha – there’s a person there now – just dumped a bale of what looks like straw. ---

Well, crap. What a disappointment. Now I have to go out to do the barn run. She’ll of course probably pop while I’m out. ---

Can someone help me? For Pearl it has this note: _**Her 2010 in utero foal (perlino and smoky cream option only - cremello is still available!) has been sold to Germany!**_ So which is the colt… perlino, smokey cream or cremello? ---

Crap, he looks dead to me too. She just went over to sniff at him and he didn’t move at all. NO! He’s alive! He just moved a leg and picked up his head! ---

The Mare Stare message boards have the owner of Athena posting and she says things aren’t going well and she’s afraid it’s a previa. Vet is on the way. ---

well, he’s up now so that’s reassuring! between the dim lighting, the crappy camera and the fact that the foal’s color blends in perfectly with the bedding, it’s hard to tell what he’s doing. 😕 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=43) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=45)
