Thanks! It was hard to say the least. He was an amazing boy for a spotted thing. One & only spotted horse I will ever own.

My workout room is awesome! I love it!

This is my boy I lost. His barn name was Flash. His registered name was Courageous Black Knight.View attachment 2088142

Kathy! Nasty.

See!? I told you!!! I don’t know how she’s not dead yet.

That's why I've always worn a mask, even when they said not to.
And spray my shoes with lysol. No shoes in the house either!

You have lysol?!?! I thought that went extinct when TP and hand sanitizer did!

You have lysol?!?! I thought that went extinct when TP and hand sanitizer dud!

I have a few cans. This one is my favorite.

I'm so sorry about your loss, he was stunning!
I missed the story on what happened to him.

Thank you. I unexpectedly lost him on 10 July 2019. He was fine when I put him up for the night. Something turned his gut sour during the night. We did everything we could to save him except surgery. I won't put a horse through it, they are never the same. 24 hours of oiling, medicating and no change. I had to make the heart-wrenching decision to let him go at 23. The vet thinks he had a blockage. Never expect to lose him that young. Figured my mare would go first she has serious lameness issues.

never had lamb before.

You really need to try more of these foods that you haven't tried.

I've been a die-hard GSD fan my whole life....until I got my first Malinois by accident. LOL
Yes, 4 of them do keep me pretty busy. Only one of them is true to trait, for Mal's, the other three are pretty soft, easier to handle. The 3 softer ones are still more work than most pet breeds, but first time Mal owners could handle them.
In the pic of the three, left to right: Beck (3 years old former stray), Zephan (7 years old former stray), Neci (just turned 4 years old)
The one on the cart by himself is my newest addition, Ravi, another former stray. He's nearly perfect. If we can get a PSA club started here, I'd like to get him going on that.
All three boys are adopted. I got my female as a puppy 4 years ago to do FR but she's too soft, and won't engage with anyone but me.
Collectively, they've done herding, IPO, FR, barn hunt, and agility.

They are so gorgeous. I’m guessing Zephan was the first one and the “accidental GSD”? did they label him a GSD mix?

That’s unfortunate the girl’s too soft. is she from a working breeder?

I also can’t believe you have so many stray Malinois up there! how could people get rid of such gorgeous dogs!? I would love it if I stumbled upon a stray Malinois.

Not very common here. Rescues are full of pit mixes and lab mixes. I love Labs but so many of these rescue dogs are practically identical.

I’d love a Mal or other shepherd or herding dog but I feel like a Mal would be a bit too much work for me. At least right now. But then again I literally LOVE training and working with dogs so maybe not.

But they’re like always on, right? And not always a fan of other dogs from what I’ve heard? MYbe it depends though. Your softer ones would probably be okay? But no guarantee I’d get a softer one.

I’ve always wanted to do agility!! Would love to do nose work too.

FR is French Ring, PSA is Protection Sport Association. They're both protection/bitework sports.
Sorry about that. I'm used to using the abbreviations.

I love watching good bite work. still don’t really know the difference between most though. There’s so many. like schutzhund & IPO, mondioring, and personal protection too and probably others and they all look so similar to me

Sorry for your loss. I've lost a couple to colic too.
