Saturday and we have clear skies........

Up early......dogs out, coffee made.........brrr.....it's cold. A morning for wearing a jacket with a fleece for sure.

Awful rainy day yesterday and so much to do....not just the farm, but it is my day off so I try to accomplish everything........I fed horses, cleaned stalls, then
I went to the doctor..........took my mom to the Humane Society to look for a new doggie companion, then went back for a cat scan, then to the Title Company to sign papers on real estate, then to the bank to wire money, then back to the title company......then to the market, then back to the farm for afternoon cleaning/feeding.......whew......a long day. I went to bed early.

My mom DID find a new companion.......a Pug/Chihuahau mix.....okay he is NOT pretty...but he is cute in his own way. He is very shy. Ten months old, kind of a non descript brown. She has named him Bogie, although that might have changed over night. The barn cats who live in her house were not thrilled.......yes, barn cats who have wormed their way into her house by the fire and into sheepskin beds provided by HER. I have not seen a single mouse carcass in weeks.

I had a good conversation with Rance at the Humane Society.......good ideas coming from them to help this winter's horse issues......I am glad to see it and will help support them anyway I can. Rance is a good friend of mine as well as a pillar of the Humane Society and animal community.

Does anybody have room for a Silkie or Yorkie dog? He is at the shelter.......very cute, not tiny, great fur.......BAD teeth. My mom almost selected him but did not want to have to groom a dog. He loves being held, very friendly......his adoption fee is lowered to accomodate his dental needs.......I ALMOST took him myself...but I have plenty of dogs......how about you Dawn?????????? I can kick in a few dollars for dental. They also had a LOT of pitbulls........I love pitbulls....they had males, females, pups, older dogs.........beautiful blues and blacks and whites. Not a dog for everyone, but if you are a responsible dog person who loves and respects pits with a good facility for them........go get one.

enjoy your Saturday.....I am off to the shower, then off to the barn to begin the day''s festivities. We are going to plan the cocktail party this afternoon with Cherri and Kim..........


more later.
