This was the water room and medicine storage
place for the animals.
I remember one time we had a dying calf. We had
done everything. Given it electrolytes, scour pills for days, and probably a
bunch of shots and other stuff that I don't remember. I do remember however we
brought this baby calf in this room and filled the sink with really warm water
and put the calf in their trying to warm it up. It died. Kayla
I always remember going in here to get scour
pills in the early cold mornings, to shove down calves throats. City people
wouldn't know this but ya you gotta stick practically your entire hand and some
of your arm and shove the pill down their throat so they can swallow it. Kayla
Didn't really like going in here always smelt funny. So much mice crap I was always affraid I would see one I don't know if I ever did see one.I can still smell it scours,electrolytes and coke colla we used that once in ahwile to help the calves.That calf Kayla was talking about Dad actually gave it mouth to mouth,while it was lying there in the hot water. I thought it was so disgusting I didn't say anything but I wacthed him and I will never forget how I felt that Dad cared so much not just for the calf but for us because that was part of the money he brought in for us,also that he worked so hard and I felt bad that we kept losing so many. I am pretty sure he cried a little probably out of frustration.The door to this room was kinda annoying to open had to yank on the thing it had a leather handle. Tyanna
I only remember it being the bathroom. Then we never used it for awhile after we moved into the new house, it was just full of stuff. Teija
This was the "doctor" room. Always feeding scour pills and electrolytes to the calves. Covering them with blankets and always checking to make sure the heater was working for them. It did always smell like mice or something nasty, but it was usually warmer than every where else. Janae
That room did smell bad! I remember Aaron sticking his foot in the toilet when it was the bathroom, that was funny, he was reaching for something. I remember all of us boys taking baths in there together. It was always warm in the winter because the space heater had to keep the pipes warm. Ez
Funny how my memories are the sames as Ezra's. I think there was a mirror/medicine cabinet and we were getting ready for church. I was on the toilet getting something and made a bad step and feel in. Lesson learned: if you need to stand on the toilet, close the lid first.
I also remember taking a baths with Ezra. We also took a bath with Layne when he slide off the hay stack into a great big and wet cow pie and it covered him. Aaron
