I'm lonely when are you coming to town? :)

Awwwww, ain’t he cuuuuuute! You give that look to Becky in person and I’ll bet there ain’t nuthin she wouldn’t do! ;o)

[Beaker]

Well I have good news. I have a THIRD interview with manufacturing operations director at the company that I’ve had the two interviews with. *crosses fingers* This means that I have to go out and find something ELSE to wear.

[Beaker]

What age kids are these anyways?

I'm not sure. They're punk teenagers. 14? 15? Old enough to know better. The kids on either side of us play with one another, and use our yard as a through way. The parents let them, even after they've been spoken to about it. Often, they'll do it right in front of us. They've also smashed the street lamps lining the driveway. I've voted to line the property with barbed wire and electric fencing. (I'm semi-serious about the electric fencing... )

[Beaker]

Bah. You don’t need to walk your dogs if you have the property that you do. I agree.

[FrogInABlender]

Sounds Promising! Usually if they bother to interview somebody THAT many times it means that an offer is right around the corner. Have faith! It’ll happen.

[FrogInABlender]

Too bad you can’t lay some booby-traps for them. Makes you want to coat your yard with dog sh!t or something. ;o)

Good morning, very quiet here today:)

MT: Have you decided to go ride the Paso?

Hair: when is your farrier expected?

I should be out on Rocky, and here I sit, but it is a beautiful day here, so I imagine I have lots of time.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

The farrier was here this morning.... just left. :~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Well, so how are Bay’s feet, does he think they are better? Does he think the fungus will return?

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

They’re pretty cleared up :~)

I’m uploading pictures, will be posting them to the other forum with a final update.

Who knows if it’ll come back...

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

You’ve been called to this thread:)

Aw jeeze... I don’t know what’s wrong with that gal’s horse.

Does look head bobbing lame though. I’ll look again in a minute... trying to get a final update ready for Bay’s foot thread.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I think the horse looks pretty lame too:(. And I want so bad to comment on turning horses loose in the pasture with halters....ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr....hate that.

There’s lots of times I want to comment on safety issues, and sometimes I do... Check out Kayla’s two threads in the Conformation Forum. To me, both threads are an example of how NOT to tie a horse. She’s got the horses tied low, to a panel, one of them has all kinds of crap around that the horse could get step in, get tangled in and spook, pulling that whole panel with them.

I’m thinking of posting a thread, or series of threads, on horsemanship. For the kids mostly, some of whom don’t have any instructions or lessons on that kind of thing. I was going to make one of them ‘safe tying’ and set up an example picture of tying done right, and an example pic with lots of things wrong to see if they can see what’s unsafe in the pictures. What do you think?

[HairOfTheDog]

Update - final - posted on Bay's foot thread.

RE: Treating Bay's feet... (UPDATE)

And just for grins... Here's a picture of Cyn's Right Front... The black on her is just dirt ;~)

[Duchess47]

Bay's feet look great now. (I checked the thread yesterday) and so do Cyn's.

Off to the last horse show of the season - horse shows here this year have been Peyton Place reruns.

You all have a great day.

[HairOfTheDog]

Don’t forget the camera!

Who’s showing? Tuffy?

[MissTargets]

Hello...no Internet until just now. :( This is getting so old. It is still shaky and the repairman is coming on Tuesday. The neighbors were out also. I took off for the weekend anyhow, but I wanted to let you all know.

Becky, no I didn't ride the Paso. I would have like too, but after thinking about it for awhile, I decided to wait on another horse.

You remember when the Goldens came to our house. After they came back the second time, I gave one to my husband. He lives and works quite aways from here and I went to see her and him this weekend. She has grown into a beautiful dog. Still likes to run though.

[HairOfTheDog]

Sorry about the internet!

We’ve been out digging in the lean-to. Going to take it down to where it should be an mat it. Tired of it being a swamp.

The picture of the dog is just adorable. What a sweet face. And the arrangement with your hubby is interesting... What’s up with that? Can you fill us in?
