Isn't it wonderful when they like and trust you enough that they choose to be somewhere on you. Just think, when you first got them you were worried due to quarantine that you might not have this relationship with them.

It is one thing to enable chickens......I need you all to knock some sense into me when it comes to horses. Hay has already risen $3.00 a bale in the last month since the floods. I currently have 3, all boys, 1 of them a stallion. I get along wonderfully with the boys. I do not need a mare with the potential attitude problems. We've all heard the term "mean mares", I've met my fair share of the knot heads. This would not be so agonizing if she had the more common long, lean and tubular build I see most Ky and Rocky mountains have. No this girl is thick and curvy and almost has a Quarter horse type build which Dirt has and is the build I adore in the breed.

Okay, so I am NO horse expert. Probably do everything wrong when I rode...but had a horse as a teen...and I always LOVED quarter-horse physic, and their 'can do' attitude. Now I really want you to get her ( and breeding her to Dirt, a most excellent horse...well what could be more appealing???) I was not going to encourage enabling until I read this last post......... but now I am weak and hoping to 'go along for the ride' through you!

Satan Returns

The Cooper's Hawk just attacked some song birds by diving into the butterfly bush after them where the circle is in this photo.

The cat and I were both outside at the time but out of site under the magnolia tree.

I thinking just that yesterday. I get to give chest rubs on the roost at night. Gucci let's me touch her when I want. Glynda jumps up on me. It's gone better than I had a right to expect.
