Reject

Traveling through Target today, we found a hermit crab right inside the store by the shopping carts. Because we didn't want the little guy to get squished, I told Brennon to take him to the customer service desk. Well, customer service wouldn't take him, and with 3 energetic little boys pleading with me not to throw him away, we took him home, and named him Reject. I will post pics soon.

Kusco, the Casanova of Llamas

This is Kusco. The Casanova of Llamas. When you unexpect it, he will sneak beside you and rub on you as if you were the best smelling thing on earth. Usually he saves this unique technique for unsuspecting horses that suddenly 'freak' out at the fact that another species is attempting to 'hit' on them. Who could not love that face?

Keep him Calm for 7 Days

Can you believe the vet actually said that about our dog. Does she know our dog? Does she know that as soon as you let Dante out of his crate, he barrels into just about anything in his path including the wall, underneath the kitchen table, back out through the chairs, while hurtling kids, cats, dogs, and toys in his path?????Also, they want us to keep a cone on his head. I took pictures of said cone, the whole time feeling horrible because the anesthetic they used caused Dante's eye to swell up and make the other one seem horribly dragged down. And to top it off I was sick today, so sick in fact that to breathe made me hurt. What a day. I did think of that phrase though, as Dante was knocking into everything outside as I was trying to hand walk him to the bathroom. You know one of the ways they decide "where to go" is to actually smell the ground. You think he can smell the ground with that cone on his head. No. I felt like a human pinball machine as he went to sniff the ground, rebounded off of that, bumped into me, back to the ground, to me, etc......

Deneutered

My cat an dog are both getting de-manned on Wednesday. This will be awesome for my dog Dante! I'm hoping that he will become a more calm and manageable dog. He is extremely hyper at times, especially when asked to go potty outside!!! If there was a doggie football, Dante would be the quarterback!

Endurance Ride Update

They posted the results at this link.

And, spelled Zena's registered name wrong, it should be Uvaldes Nu Sassy Doll. They left out the 'd'. Oh well. And, some kind soul actually took pictures of the event. Here's the one and only picture of me. (I'm in the yellow rain slicker) and Zena is in the distance behind me, you can barely see her feet.

Cattle Chasing Fiends

Hubby and I got to chase cows in the arena today. Chris had alot of fun. Zena started off pretty slow, but after an hour she was biting the poor cows in the butt! We're gearing up for that Peter Campbell clinic in March!

Pumpkin Patch kids

We took Aidan and Keagan to the Pumpkin Patch today, bought them a muffin and let them pick out a pumpkin apiece. I also had the boys pick out some weird looking gourds. Photos to come.

Endurance Ride Results!

Me and Zena got sixth place!!! I'm so excited, it was 35 degrees, pouring rain, and a 20 mph wind chill. I was frozen. We finished in just under 6 hours. I think for our first endurance ride, it was great! Unfortunately, Chris took no pictures! :(

P90x

We're well into our second week of P90X. Let me tell you this workout program kicks my butt!!! I wake up exercize, eat, eat, eat, exercise, sleep. Where's the ME time. (sigh). Oh well, in 3 months, I better love my body!!

Salsa (The Dance, not the Dip!)

KT and I got all glammed up and went to Annie Wright's to do a little Salsa dancing. Well, I had a blast. Of course, whenever KT and I get together we have alot of fun. Chris took a nice glammed up picture of us..... Good thing I started watching my calories, now I can use this as a before photo! :)
