LOL! Aren’t they funny when they’re wet? Zulu used to just rip around the house. Not so funny when it’s a big dog... ;~)
She gets rather hysterical after a bath.

Uh. Erm... Um... What’s a Honkey Tonk? I’ve heard of them, but I’m pretty sure we don’t have ‘em around here.
You think so? Maybe! He’s really heavy boned. Much heavier than that beagle example!
Good morning everyone!
Going to get hot and humid for the next few days.
Beaker, did you see Urban Cowboy? Great flick.
From Wikipedia; A honky tonk is a type of bar with musical entertainment common in the Southwestern and Southern United States, also called honkatonks, honkey-tonks, tonks or tunks. The term has also been attached to various styles of 20th-century American music. As of 2007, honky tonk seems to be the most recognized and mainstream subgenre of country music.
Honkey Tonks are southern “country clubs” They usually have a walled porch where people can’t see who is inside (I think that’s a law here), private parking in the back and bar maids whose job it is to answer the phone and say “he’s not here”. I was kind of...well raised in them.:’)
If you’ll put a cotton ball with a little mineral oil in it into each ear before you bathe her, she won’t do that! (Shelley does the exact same thing - she hates getting water in her ears).
(honky-tonks multiply right over the county line next to a "dry" county - another Southern phenomenon.)
I think it's also a law they have to have a REALLY loud jukebox and a buncha guys shooting pool . . . .
Oh, OK, thanks, I’ll give that a try next time:)
I do try tho not to get water in her eyes and ears. I’ve been told that since her ears don’t stand up if they get wet inside it raises the risk of fungus because they don’t dry out fast???

Hi all, I have a funny story to tell. Last night hubby wanted to ride TheNewHorse, Shane round the property. Well he was saddling up his horse and I decided to ride old Queen some since she never gets to go and I was saddling her up. He was next to me whining and complaining that his saddle did not fit the horse right, who was messing with his saddle? why was the girth strap wrong? Blah, blah, blah. Well I looked up and saw the problem and said to him that unless he planned to ride that horse backwards it might work better if he turned the saddle around. The look of embarrassment on his face! He told me that he guessed he would never live that one down!
ROFLOL, that would be embarassing:) Does he know you are telling all of us:)
Reminds of a time at a ride when we were told to do an offside mount for the judges. I hadn’t practiced much on offside mounts, and I also get very flustered in front of judges. I had made about 3 attempts when the judges secertary said, “your putting the wrong foot in the stirrup”. The judge said, “I wish y ou hadn’t told her, I wanted to see what would happen when she found herself sitting backwards:)” The funny thing was, after the laughing, and I tried again, I still kept putting the wrong foot in. I finally had to pass:)

Are you kidding! He would kill me!
LOL!!! That’s priceless! That one will definately come in handy the next time he’s ragging you about something you’ve done.
So, after you got done laughing, how did the ride go? Did TheNewHorse do good? And how did Ol’ Queen do?
Shane did great. Gary said he was really smooth even without his feet done and his wolf teeth bothering him. He behaved very well. Queen did pretty good but kept trying to head back to the barn. She was on the bit way to much. Might put a hackamore on her next time we ride around the house.
My Ruby has ears like Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
. . . also has a thing about Kleenex boxes . . .
Hmmm... interesting about the honky tonks.
