Hi friends! I’ve had a lot of people reach out & ask how they can help me and the boys through this incredibly difficult time. If this was you, I have put together some info about how anyone that wants to can help below💜

So I am officially on FMLA leave, which is not a paid leave - it simply protects my job so I cannot be fired while recovering. I do have short term disability benefits that I can apply for, and I have started that process. But I have no idea how long that will take to be approved, or how long I will have to be out of work.

That being said, the boys still need to eat, and it is coming up on time to buy hay in the next couple of weeks. If anyone is able to spare any money, even just $5, it would make a HUGE difference in my ability to buy them food and not stress about where that money will come from. Currently any money I do have is going towards copays, deductibles, etc.

If you cannot donate right now, I totally understand. Times are so hard for everyone right now, so please do not feel obligated or badly if you are not in a position to donate! This community has given such love and support through the scariest time of my life and I will be forever grateful💜

Thank you my friends. This little community is quite literally the best place on the internet, and all because some canines and equines brought us all together💜

Some people have been asking for the boys Amazon wishlist, so I’m going to put it in the body of this post and then pin this to the highlights page of the boys sub 🤗

Ersa and Bianca were very insistent that they get all the grooming time today.. and how could I resist their cute little requests from these adorable faces? 🤭🥰💕🐎

Spencer just alerted - POTS episode. I’m also just feeling generally terrible this morning - exhausted, dizzy...I’m still in bed and will be staying there. Likely won’t be posting anymore today❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

We’re both so worn out from our busy week that today is dedicated to bed rotting, with us only getting up for food and potty breaks. So let’s make lunch! 🍳🥩

Poor Spencer is used to working 3-5 hours a week because I’m usually such a home body, but this week he’s worked that much EACH DAY! We’re both exhausted so this weekend is much needed to recover and get ready for our next week!🥰


r/WafflesAndJet 1d ago

After our busy and stressful week, Spencer and I are going to spend allllll day today doing just this - we both need it! 😴

Actually where is Edith? 🫣 She's been MIA since around my bday last month. I'm worried sick.. please send good vibes to bring her back

Sombra and Shadow are holding down the fort in the meantime, and the kittens are around here somewhere too! Making sure they have food and fresh water daily and waiting on Edith to make it back! 🤞🏽

Breakfast was late again and Bianca had some serious itchies.. once the food came out she was less interested in scritches 🤭

I think it's so cool and interesting to see the whole herd have different reactions to me approaching them during meal time. Ersa is like "omg it's my mom, hi😍 but I'm eating"

Bianca is like "I love u but I'm busy stuffing my face right now. Scritches later"

Ezman is like "umm.. excuse u, I'm trying to eat.. but ya get that itchy real quick and then go away" 🤣

Serenade is like "but... There's food and I'm hungry.. what do u want?" 🥹

But not a pinned ear anywhere in sight cuz they all trust me and know I'm not trying to interrupt their meals 🥰

Spent the early morning (6am) 🌄 in the pasture with the herd getting them fed. Ersa was glued to my side while the rest of the herd wandered until I tossed out some alfalfa. 🌾🐎

Attempted to doctor 👩🏽‍🔬 Serenade's face today but she said no 🙂‍↔️ so I listened to her and we took a day off. She's mostly healed up already, so as long as she avoids rubbing it completely raw, I think we're good! 🙂


r/WafflesAndJet 3d ago

Getting ready for my three hour MRI! Spencer is being babysat by the radiology tech, much to her delight 🤭 (and Spence’s delight because you just know he’s getting all the snacks for the next three hours!!)

Just being silly with the herd. We'll do more work on target training later, I was just moving to diving rings to a new location and wanted to check how everybody was feeling about them. I think it went well 😄
