I keep popping off to watch the floor being installed but they quit for the evening.

I don’t mind posting over there at all - it is just that WB is a very favorite person there (well, as she is here) and I didn’t want to pop in and say, hey, I don’t think Bay’s lame :) I figured knives would be out before I hit post. I did look at the last bunch of pictures and the before pictures when he had pads. His feet looked a lot better then (to me).

[HairOfTheDog]

You think they would get protective of me?

In hindsight, now, I agree.

[Duchess47]

LOL - extremely protective :)

[HairOfTheDog]

A few maybe... but there’s probably a significant number that would buy popcorn just to see me get beat up :~)

[Duchess47]

Well, I’d hate to see that too. Besides, I’ve learned with my horses that I can tell when they are off before anyone else can because I know them. So I don’t discount that you’re seeing something I’m not, I just don’t want you worrying needlessly.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I can handle Frog and Becky yelling at me but the guys on horse.com go for blood.

Have I yelled at you??? I'm sorry.

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Good morning...

I just went out to feed...everything is coated in ice, and we are only suppose to get to 29 today:(...

Have I mentioned I hate winter.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

You hate winter? I don’t think you’ve mentioned that before ;~)

Good morning.... Clear and cold. There’s a small chance of a little snow today, but not much if it does. We’re heading up to the beach house for Christmas decorating.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

The forecast here is ice pellets the next few days, then rain:(

Well, since I haven’t mentioned I hate winter, let me repeat it:)

I HATE WINTER!!!!

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Noted ;~) I think snow can be fun, IMHO, but ice isn’t fun ever.

[HairOfTheDog]

Speaking of snow... we have snow falling now...

Between wanting to keep an eye on Bay, and now this snow, we’ve decided to put off going up to the beach house. Not sure how much we’re supposed to get :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

See? Snow falling on beagles..

Horses are way out in the back forty...

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Well, at least all that is pretty to look at, even if it's not fun to deal with...here's what's going on here and about 22 right now:

Already from looking at the trees totally encrusted with ice, we are going to have problems with power outages...Pouring down rain now, and freezing...

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Do you guys have heat when the power is out?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Yeah...we heat with a propane stove.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Good. I couldn’t remember if that could work without power.

Well, settle in, batter down your hatches!

[Duchess47]

LOL - of course not. You’ve never yelled at me, I just figured that you were entitled if I told Hair Bay wasn’t really lame, just stiff and sore. But if you did it, you’d do it nicely.

[Duchess47]

I think you’ve mentioned that you hate winter :) I’m telling myself spring is right around the corner.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Well, this is a strange switch in circumstances...I’ve been sitting here for the last hour listening to trees/branches come down around the house. One out back scraped the back of the house...

It’s pouring down rain, has been all night, but is freezing. It looks like a glass world outside from the little I can see.

Becky

[Beaker]

Good Morning everyone.

It's Monday...

Looks like we're having similar weather across the country. That storm system that Becky has/had is moving up to my neck of the woods. Supposed to get some gross weather over the next three or four days.

Hair, how is Bay doing? I checked out that farrier forum link, but didn't read too far into it when things started getting nasty, it made me too mad. :-D Small men, with egos bigger than their heads, IMHO. Have you considered putting egg bars back on Bay?
