    Rehabbing the sprained ankle...

    Any suggestions? This past Thursday, I stepped in a hole while longeing a horse (so moving somewhat quickly with purpose and not watching where I was going), and sprained my ankle badly. I am on crutches right now - the DR suggested stay off for 10 days and ice daily - foot and ankle is still...

    Making THAT difficult decision...

    About when it is time to let your elderly canine friends cross the Rainbow Bridge, assisted. Please let me preface this by saying that I have been thinking EXTENSIVELY about this over the last couple of years. My 'elder dane' as I call her, Sarah, is 12 years old. While she still enjoys a...

    Happy Birthday Rex! [pics]

    Rex's first birthday. To celebrate I chased him around the pasture with a lunge whip for 20 minutes... just kidding.. he's recently been seperated from the rest of the gang as he's starting to act studdy and he will stand outside the door when he does get outside time waiting for them, which as...

    I'm not dead! [Updates & such]

    I logged in today to a message from Grammy saying some people were worried about me! Little ole me. :) I feel special! Anyways, it's been a pretty busy couple of weeks. I just got back from Vacation - I took a trip to the Midwest - flew into Minneapolis and flew out of Chicago (where I was...

    I've decided to take a break from agility...

    I think it has been a while coming, but yesterday kinda sealed my decision. We drive 45 minutes each way to get to our indoor training facility - on the weekends, the trip costs us about $25 including training fees - during the week, my mom and I both leave work a little early so by the time...

    Thought I would share Angel's memorial video...

    while I am waiting on the live support for my .com. Ugh. they are great once you get a hold of them but getting ahold of live support seems darn near impossible! Anyways.... I thought I would share the memorial video that my good friend, Fuzz made for me. Fuzz never met Angel, we have been...

    Ugh, I don't want to be a troublemaker but..

    I feel like calling the SPCA on a horse owner that lives on the road to work... I am generally not the nosy, busybody type, but... these horses are breaking my heart. We know the woman semi-personally. She lives in a HUGE house (like, I'm talking has two Christmas trees every year, etc)...

    Ugh ugh ugh.. day before last agility class..

    and I manage to sprain my ankle. We needed some extra work on two by twos and weaving, etc, so AgilityPup and I had dad take us to the field (I left my license in mom's car which was... 4 hours away). Had some good time working, some great progress, and then we went onto the field and since...

    What's your "zen hobby"???

    I work in an inbound call center and sometimes I just want to KILL the customers, so I've taken up a few hobbies.... that don't distract me too much from the task at hand but *just* enough that I don't get murderous... I bought myself a My Little Pony colouring book and a 64 pack of wax...

    *sigh* Seems like the SPCA ..

    just doesn't seem to help the animals who actually NEED help, and end up basically harrassing people. :P We have had the SPCA called on our farm three times by a bitter woman in PA who had never even BEEN to our property, and they informed us that they would be out of a job if they all looked...

    A Legend and a Legacy left our farm yesterday...

    We said goodbye to our old fellow yesterday. Scenics Cowboy, or "Chance" as we called him was 18 years old and had been with my mom since he was 3. They were a formidable team, virtually undefeated in western pleasure locally, and I am sure that horse would have crawled under a car if he thought...

    Oh the indecency! (Pics)

    My mom, Shay (you all know her as AgilityPup), thought that I needed something, to wear while she was standing around listening to the nice woman at agility. See my mom has to listen very carefully as she doesn't seem to understand the best way to do agility, is to just run and find another...

    We are at wit's end, any suggestions?

    My darling Muggie... oh sigh. Love of my life, the only man I need, great bedwarmer, excellent kisser, wonderful workout partner (agility), terribly handsome..... but a chewer. Being that he is only just turning a year old, I have patiently turned my eyes away from all of the valuable things...
