Who Does This Look Like?



Just every now and then and only from certain angles, but when he does, it's really startling. Of course Graham doesn't act like Miss Ewenice ;-).

So from the department of "laugh or cry", here's the latest chapter in Graham's book of tales. Yesterday I pulled my CRV into the barn lot so Dr. Barron, Louanne and I could put Blizzard in the back to take him to UK. Immediately Graham started trying to open the driver's side door. He gave it several good tries, to no avail. He stepped back, surveyed the situation and WENT AROUND AND TRIED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR!

What sort of sheep thinks like that?!?

Just adding to the reasons why I'm afraid to go to the barn half the time.

Everyone seems okay today. We are still formulating our plan(s) and I so appreciate everyone's input and kind words. Sounds like so many of us have had a fairly crappy summer :-/.

I've had several questions about Sherman's necropsy and we learned nothing helpful other than he had a blockage due to bladder stones. Toxicology came back normal, no red flags. Should have preliminary results back on Blizzard tomorrow.

He isn't a sheep he's a person! I thought you knew that!

I hope they find something out so it can be remedied!

Vinegar is a remedy for toenail fungus that is effective for some people. According to the Mayo Clinic, although anecdotal evidence suggests that vinegar works to treat fungus, no formal studies have confirmed or denied its efficacy. The daily regimen that the Mayo Clinic describes is to mix one part vinegar with two parts water, soak the affected foot for up to 20 minutes, rinse well and pat dry. This remedy may cause dryness or skin irritation; if it does, the procedure should be limited to two or three times weekly.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil comes from an Australian plant called Melaleuca alternifolia. According to the Mayo Clinic, there are some claims that people have success treating toenail fungus with tea tree oil, but that more research is needed before these claims are verified. Applying 100% tea tree oil to the toenails as well as the surrounding skin is a way that some people attempt to treat fungal infections. Toenail Fungus Treatments.com also suggests bathing the affected feet in shampoo or soap that is make with tea tree oil, but cautions that the treatment may be irritating to some people.
Listerine
Listerine, an antiseptic mouthwash, may also treat toenail fungus in some people. The People's Pharmacy notes that although there is anecdotal evidence that soaking infected toes in Listerine may clear up fungal infections, there is no set regimen that seems to work for everyone. Some people have also reported having good results by mixing the Listerine with vinegar.
