I agree. My landlord just hates them. I think he had a bad experience with a cat that sprayed inside

Rue is quite jealous, and when they had to share my lap she was trying to push herself further and further away. After a couple hours she started to adjust to the idea and relaxed more.

Its an interesting story how I ended up with her, but I "accidentally" got a kitten. The lady I picked her up from got her at 4 weeks old, from a lady who had them living in their own feces and urine. She was flea covered and not in good shape ( I mean, a 4 week old kitten shouldn't be wea...

I really love sci-fi and fantasy. I've been listening to a lot of Anne Rice books lately. I don't really have a lot of time to read, so I've been doing the audio books off of audible. I've recently finished the Mayfair Witches series, and The Wolf Gift followed by The Wolves of Midwinter. I find her...

I really enjoyed looking at those pictures through the link you posted. I'm sitting at my desk at work and realized I had a goofy smile on my face. Looks like he's a lot of fun!

Well, the rabbits I kinda just stumbled on. I went to a small animal swap with a friend of mine where I saw the cutest bunny ever and had to have him. It snowballed from there. Lately I've thought a lot about getting out of them though, to focus more on Phoenix and direct my money one direction.

Can you buy tickets just for specific days or events though? I live about 3 1/2 hours away and would prefer just to make a day trip or two Instead of a hotel

I didn't realize it was going to be so close to me this time. I may see if I can go up for a day or two, will have to look into ticket prices.

Both white and cream will look dirty pretty quickly. I have a set of pro choice boots in white and I'm only going to use them for shows and clinics. Black looks better when not perfectly clean. I did consider black too. We have a washer available to us at the barn though, so washing them frequently...

Would cream brushing boots be taking the matching too far? Do I want that much creamy color or should I just stick with white or black boots? I'm feeling like the boots and pad and browband all in that creamy color may just be too much, I'm sure I'm completely overthinking this. LOL https://www.amaz...

What a cutie! Was she looking for cookies? One of the horses I take lessons on gives me this face for cookies LOL

Then my fur kids. Trudy, Rue, and Nova.
Trudy is a cattle dog mix (I assume, she came from a shelter), Rue is my miniature dachshund, and Nova my 9 month old doberman puppy.

I'm really glad I went ahead and got it, even though my wallet really could have waited. I keep going back and staring at it today, so I know it must have been the right one. LOL I found another that is not the mega bling that is honey and garnet. I may end up getting it too at some point. I contact...

Great Pics - Thanks for sharing... Your dogs do look exhausted! and your filly is certainly filling out nicely! As for your cleaning job - Get a power washer - a small electric one even does a great job and also some Greased Lightening or Krud Cutter. Your job will be a lot easier. I had thought of...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Well, I bought it. I couldn't resist, they got me with it being on sale. I think it will be ok, i've seen the mega bling in person, another person at the barn has one. I just have to figure out some extra jobs to get some Christmas gift money together, since I needed to wait and that was a chunk of ...

Oh man. I just found this browband in their sales. I might need it instead..

PhoenixWater.jpg PhoenixCookies.jpg Then, there is the weekend cleaning project I and another person took on. We have a huge 8 day clinic coming up, we felt it was time to get it clean. Comet, scrubby pads and brushes and a lot of elbow grease. We have probably spent a combined 8+ hours scrubbing, ...

This was phoenix this weekend, almost exactly 2 years later. I cleaned her up and took these pictures to send in to the registry. Hoping to get her registered with Fresian Heritage Horses soon. Lighting was off because of the sun so the coloring is a bit off, but you get a good feel for her anyway I...

In the interest of trying to post more, I thought I'd make a post with some pictures from around the barn this last weekend, as well as some pictures of then vs now on Phoenix! Phoenix, back when she first came to me as a weanling. She was not halter broke, and had not had much handling at all at 7 ...

Oh that's good to know! I may just be looking at black and white pads then lol. Maybe a creamy colored too.

For anyone interested in his progress, there has been a lot of improvement since removing the fluid from his lung and putting in the trach. He is awake, and does know about General now. They moved him to a more long-term hospital, and expect him to be there a couple more months. This is the most rec...

This pad is beautiful. http://www.equikro.com/eskadron-classic-sports-brilliant-dura-saddlecloth Even with the garnet browband, I don't think it is necessary to use a red saddle pad every day. Gold trim would help to tie in with the gold - if you are so inclined - on any color saddle pad. But even ...

No, not acupuncture is not taught to lay people. I thought that accupuncturists were mostly lay people? No? I think not. I think in most states, you have to be a vet to practice acupuncture on animals professionally. The lady who has been working on the horse at our barn is licensed to work on peop...

I don't really know what progress is being made on the sale/merger whatever it is. But tensions are high, almost palpable in the office. Everyone is on edge and very grumpy. I understand it, but boy is it making going to work stressful. For whatever reason, I tend to be who people complain to (my bo...

My mind is still stuck on thinking about all this, as I attempt to figure out what I need to buy, and what I want her wearing. I really think I want the garnet one. I love red and now realize I really like the brass on her. SO, if I do the garnet brow band, does anyone think I should I switch to bla...

Tail hairs are in the mail. We will know by the end of the week. Is acupuncture something I could do myself? (after a training session of course) I honestly don't know. I could ask her this weekend how difficult it would be to show someone how to do something that specific. It would be a lot cheape...

The whole situation is scary to me. This is the best job I've ever had, and I get nervous thinking of having to go elsewhere. I am trying not to worry about it too much, and see what happens. It could be a good thing, but it could also be really bad. I just keep reminding myself that if it ends up b...

Right now, I'm actually leaning towards the Garnet again. Last year, for our Christmas exchange here, Phoenix and I received a personalized leather halter. I hadn't used it yet, because I wanted to keep it nice (ie not hanging on the pasture fence, etc. which is what happens to the halters they use ...

If its not HERDA and is scar tissue, I strongly recommend looking to have acupuncture done on it. We have a horse at the barn where I ride, who was meant for a bucking horse strand originally, so was branded when he was younger. The brand had massive scar tissue, and was flaky and would have sores u...

Since they do custom, they could probably make the garnet one for you with silver prongs. Might as well have it just the way you want it! I may email them and ask, but I'm thinking they cant. When you go into the customize your own, when you hover over the gem colors it pops up a "brass" ...

Personally, I'm gravitating towards the alternating crystal and black diamond with jet ( the 4th one) and the garnet in a close 2nd. My only complaint with the garnet is the golden prongs, when she's going to be in a lot of black/silver. Red is my favorite color, so I really like the garnet, I looke...

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm a firm believer that sometimes our pets choose us, and not the other way around. It sounds to me like Cloud chose you, and was happy.

And a couple pictures to assist. Both pictures are somewhat old now. Her eating was last winter/spring, and the crossties was probably 6 months ago but doesn't show her face. I need to be more vigilant about getting pictures. She's a very dark bay in the summer, when she is shed out, with the lighte...

Since realizing I really don't WANT to sell Phoenix (and therefore wont), I've been working on a list of things for starting her under saddle. Now, I know a pretty brow-band isn't a NEED, but I've daydreamed about a pretty browband every time I've pictured myself riding her :lol: . I've narrowed it ...

I still haven't figured out what I really want. But I do know this, after stepping back and taking a bit of a breather for a couple months (worked a few less hours, and cut back on a few things I didn't care so much for). I don't want to sell Phoenix. I don't want to re-home any of my dogs. I don't ...

Well, he is still in ICU, but he has been making small steps in the right direction. He has been awake enough to answer some questions (are you in pain, etc) by raising his eyebrows.

I have been using the Natures Plus Natural Beauty Cleansing Bar as both shampoo and body wash. it works well, but as my hair gets longer it gets harder and harder to use a bar.
