I love Merri's face. How old is she? I think Merri is around 3ish, can't be over 4 at the most I think. I need to check the date that they showed up at the office, but I'm pretty sure that she can't be over 4 and is likely 3. Thanks WMW! I was using my cellphone so it's all blurry. A bazillion doll...

Pork Green Chile. Not quite why I thought it was a good idea to buy a pork roast that could feed 8 given there's only one of me. So, roast pork, pork green chile, stir fried pork and peppers, and I'm losing motivation here..... Not sure, but you also gave me the same idea. I think I've decided to m...

I love those stories Snowhorse!

I've used my JRT to find kittens. It usually goes like this:
"Listen. Do you hear a kitty?"
*ears perk up and the bouncing starts*
"Can you find the kitty? Where's the kitty?"
*nose down, finds kitty*

Thank you! Merri will take all face-smooshing. She's a snuggler.

Someone on TOB suggested the skill/willingness might have something to do with people who are puzzle solvers. People who like to problem solve with games and puzzles. That made sense to me, since I'm a big pattern-recognition person (altho my spatial awareness isn't so great). Are you fixers also p...

Because she's smart and you guys are engaged with her, so she learns things. :) I've found that Tanner is quite good at locating missing items, if he knows what it is. If I ask him to find something and he doesn't know what it is, he runs around crazy, but if he knows what it is, he puts his nose do...

The dogs all received new sweaters for Christmas and they finally had the chance to try them out this past weekend. I think Merri may need a larger size, she's picked up a bit of weight (who hasn't?). So here is a mostly grown Pepper, who I still have no idea what she is, and she's over 75 lbs now, ...

This is rather timely as my SO and I were talking about just this thing. SO is not a handy person and frequently he or his mother calls to ask about everything from "do I need a vet for this" to "my car is doing this, what do you think it could be". SO knows that he is not handy,...

I'm the opposite, I use a 64gb card as my backup and 32gbs as my main shooter. I don't fill up my 32gb cards though and typically just switch them out between divisions. I can get all of my backup from one show on the 64gb card usually. If I don't think I have packed up enough cards, then I will mak...

We don't have many toll roads near here with the closest being about 3 hours away, so toll roads are not even on my radar when I go places. Yes, I would be the person with no change for a toll road because it never occurred to me that I would have to pay to drive on the street and I never carry cash...

I just did a quick run through and picked some, but not 25. (90, 70,57, 52, 49, 44, 43, 29, 23, 22, 20, 15, 6, 5, 4, 3) I don't really think it's a fair selection because I tend to like plain images without much editing, so that is what I leaned toward. I did, however; like the softer images with th...

We did prime rib as well, and it was my first time cooking it. I cooked it on the grill and was amazed that it turned out so well on my first try. I was worried about getting the seasoning right, but I went "Texas" on it and it was wonderful. To go with the meat we had potato mash, green b...

Oooh, I want to see!

I need to do something with my website, it's horrible at this point and outdated, but who has time?? lol

I hope you guys are all ok. We had a little bit of rain and a whole lot of wind, but nothing too bad for the most part. The worst part was the 80% humidity and 80 degree weather. Of course it's now in the 40s!!

I have mostly been shooting rodeo type stuff, which is interesting since it's not what I do. The bull riding guys have been super nice and supportive, and have sent me a number of messages either begging me to come to the event they are riding at to do photos or just to tell me that my photos of the...

Wow, this is truly a sad story. The man who planted the bomb, Doug, was a loner, but had made friends with a horse, Charlie. They were quite close but then Charlie got sick, colic, and colic surgery was not a financial option for the owners, so they put had him euthanized about 6 months ago. Doug ha...

So far so good. My guy is loving the rabbit!

I also picked up a sample of the raw for him to try out. I mixed a little in and he's loved it so far. Thinking about making switch.

This is beyond crazy to me. I've been to Holly Hill numerous times over the last 16 or so years and it just seems unreal that a bomb was detonated under the Hewlitt's house, and a barn worker had another bomb in his residence, along with other weapons. It's a bloody horse farm for goodness' sake. ht...

I'm a university professor, and I'm with you, Chancellor. The only difference is that I wouldn't call these kids "lazy" - I'd call them helpless . Or passive, or disempowered, or chronically infantilized. And it's getting worse every year. I also very much agree with Suzon's remarks about...

So sorry for your loss, but what a gift it must have been to not be in a rush, to have that time to savor the good moments. I can only hope for as much with my guy.

I can't listen to the video at work, but this post made me think of the commercial with the screaming goat. I love that commercial! I don't even know what it's for, but I die laughing every time it comes on. My SO used to ask what I was laughing out when we were on the phone, but now he just says, &...

I have no bird experience, so maybe someone more experienced could chime in. Would making a birdhouse in parrot-size help this guy any? I mean if he's eating there and seems to spend some time there, would offering an enclosed, possibly somewhat insulated, home tempt him to nest there? And maybe kee...

What about a mash offered along with the regular hay? You could make it with either hay cubes or pellets with warmish water and add applesauce or molasses to entice her to eat it. I do this for Basco every day because I worry about his water consumption. He is especially fond of organic applesauce w...

I can smell banana Laffy Taffy a mile away! lol. My taffy addiction started young, due to my father's fondness for saltwater taffy, which I still love, but is hard to find SE Texas stores. I made do with Laffy Taffy, but only the banana flavor, until my father would bring home more saltwater taffy. ...

Have you ever come upon a situation that is likely legitimate, but the exact moment that you came upon it, it looked like it could have been something completely different than what was actually going on?

I received my Secret Santa gifts yesterday from the lovely Briarwood. I was completely overwhelmed with the sheer number and thoughtfulness of each gift.

That sounds awesome Stella! I just received a package at work that I thought was the handmade soap I ordered from a friend of mine, but it's my Secret Santa package.

Basco is a bit of a loner as well. He just does whatever he does and if the other horses follow him that's fine, and if they don't, that's fine too. He did, however; have a close buddy, Snort, an older Appendix QH. When Basco was first introduced to the herd, he latched onto Snort. He would love and...

To me, the country girl always sounds thin and pitchy to me. Maybe it's just the acoustics of my house or something though. I love the girl Pharrell has left, clearly not enough to be able to recall her name, but her cover of Cindy Lauper was amazing. I grew up in that era and that's sort of how I a...

I agree with Hoopoe, I would file. That way, it would also be on their record in case any future landlords ran a background check and could possibly save that future landlord from getting into a similar situation with them.

Like Silk, I too had a t-bone last night with trimmings.

Tonight I think I'm going to grill some fat greasy hamburgers because that's what I'm hungry for at the moment. They actually aren't very greasy at all as my local butcher shop has a super ground roundxchuck mix for burgers that is delish.

It is not hard to change your name. I don't know why people don't do it more often. These folks are teased throughout childhood, you know they are. Why not, at 16, just trade in that "Dick" for "George" or that Regina for Imogene? I've known so many people with odd names, or nam...

I will say that just because I vented on this thread, it does not mean that I am actually grinchy.

Lacey Beaver. I realize that on the surface this seems like a perfectly fine name, but my inner 12 year old keeps giving me the giggles every time I say it.

I have this marinade that is sort of a chili lime type thing. I marinade the tenderloin in it overnight, then sear it on the grill, wrap it up in foil (with the marinade that was left in the container), and let it cook. It is so yummy!
