Yeah. I wanted it to be a short but fucked up somehow lmao. Next vid that is a bunch of other vids spliced together will def be horizontal lol

Yeah. I’m thankful that there’s still hella forage around for the herd.

When I first met him, he was very little and had just eaten and he looked like the “full of soup” meme

It’s a toy intended for livestock to throw around, so it can put up with a lot lol. And Sandy was very distracted. The one mare had a baby recently and Sandy heard the baby playing in a neighboring enclosure and wanted to go say hi sooooo bad. She isn’t allowed to meet the baby, though, because mama horse is very protective. So she just gets to watch and listen to it play and be a baby from a distance

She really was and it was heartbreaking

I was really hoping she’d like it. It was kinda expensive lol

The mama horse gets violent when other horses try to see the baby. Sadly, they’ll probably never get to actually meet. Mama and baby are being sold and will be going away once baby is weaned. They’ll get good homes though. I heard Mama already has several people wanting her. I haven’t heard of any takers for baby, but idk if his sale ad has even been put out yet

She apparently had quite a few babies when she was younger. She’s a purebred Arabian, so those babies woulda been sold for a pretty penny if they were arabs. Even crosses like quarabs or araapaloosas woulda made bank

She wants to see the baby. She loves babies. She isn’t allowed close but she wants to be lil

Lmaoooo. Yeah he’s really growing up.

One of the other mama cats has a litter of 3 that haven’t even opened their eyes yet. Two orange tabbys and one grey. She shows me them every time I go to the barn. First time she showed me, they were still wet.

Oh I wasn’t offended all! I was just lamenting over not being able to adopt the lil bugger lol. I’m really glad you got to take the orange barn kitten that you met home!

I would love to take this lil guy home, but I can’t afford another critter. Hoping that he won’t get himself killed. He hasn’t stepped under horses yet which is good.

Thank you! I named him that because when he was really little and his belly was full, he looked like the full of soup meme

Me too!

She can still have things get outta place, so there may be a need for treatment in the future, but she is very sound and sturdy for her age, so she should be good to go as long as I stick with exercising her.

Hoping it’s a one-time fix, but we have to get an exercise regimen together with small near-daily workouts so she can build muscle. She’s finally got the weight, now she just need the muscles to carry it properly.

I’m really glad the barn has a covered roundpen! It’ll make working on rainy days a thing lol.

It is! I was worried she’d fight him, but once she realized he was helping, she was all into it.

Here’s the legend himself! He has a look of betrayal because his mama smacked him for bothering her while she was napping.

Addition: I totally want to adopt him but I do not have the finances to swing it. So imma just hope that he’s one of the lil ones that makes it to adulthood. Barn cat life is rough. Better than him staying a barn cat would be someone at the barn adopting him who can afford it.

Thank you. It felt good to deactivate all of his shit lol.

I’m glad you got out of the helpdesk trenches. Being a tech support grunt is harrowing. I have a mild breakdown about once a quarter, but that’s been a thing since my college days (yes I’m in therapy lol)

I don’t mind talking on the phone because I make a lot of calls outside of work. I just hate people being absolute idiots and being proud of not knowing how to do the most basic shit. Got a ticket from a client asking to help a different user connect her new mouse to her computer. It was just a wired mouse. That was the start of 2025’s Q3 breakdown.

I mean, I enjoy the work a lot. It’s the people I don’t like. The worst part is that I’m really damn good at this job, the users adore me, and I am somehow very productive. So now I’m dealing with being important on top of everything else.

I’m not internal IT either. I work at an MSP, so every day I am guaranteed to see a new horror and interact with some of the worst specimens of humankind.

Think the worst thing I’ve experienced at this job was the time I called a dude and he spent the whole 45 min call sexually harassing and fetishizing me and begging me to marry him. I fixed his computer, threw up because I was so disgusted, then told my boss. My boss reviewed the call, which the user knew was recorded because I told him so when he answered. My boss was like “what the fuck. I’m so sorry he did that” And sent the recording to the big boss, who responded to me in the same way before sending it to HR of that dude’s company. Dude was fired immediately. I got to deactivate his stuff and HR of that company personally apologized to me.

I would leave this kinda job, but I have insanely good benefits, make more money than I should at this stage in my career, and I am full time remote. It’s kinda hard to top this shit, esp with how the US is right now. I’ve accepted that I’m here for the long haul.
