On my way to the barn, I saw.....

Today the sun came out about 15 minutes before I was due to go feed.

I RELISHED IN IT!

AWWW IT felt so good!

AND it gave this wonderful orange hue to everything around.

So I thought I would take my camera with me.

I am going to make a habit of it too.

Sissy she will usually run around and buck and toss her head, and I

was hoping to capture some of that.

NOT TONIGHT!

She was not in the mood.

Must of been the sun shine!

She just walked up to me, and stood around

 

And then came over to investigate my camera.

 

I thought I would try and get a good picture of her teeth.

She was eating the bark off some trees, and I thought maybe

her teeth would be clean, but I couldn't tell.

 

She let me take a ton of pictures of her....

and love on her a lot!!!!

Oh I needed that.

With this crappy days of weather,

I have not been able to go out and be with them.

I think Sissy missed me too, cause she sure let me

pet, love, and kiss on her!

 

Then I thought...ummmm

SELF POSING!

We do it with ourselves and our friends.

Why not our horses!? LOL

 

Sissy was being a doll about it!

 

I even have proof here she gave me a hug!!!

I am sure she was actually looking for any treats that may of

been residing in my pocket!

 

Sadie got tired of waiting by her food dish, so she started to

meander over a little bit at a time.

 

Sissy had enough photo ops, and turned her back on me.

 

Sadie got her picture taken with me.

She was not to sure of the camera at first, but then

she resigned to the fact that if she was going to eat

she better let mama take some pictures!

 

Here they are conversing over WHEN is DINNER going to be served!?

 

Then they tried to sweet talk me into getting their hay!

 

They were thinking, if we stand here and watch her, she will hurry up!

 

As we walked back, they each went and stood so calmly by

their food dishes.  They were so good!

 

 

So I fed them!

 

Sissy blissfully eating! LOL

 

They don't come up for air much once they have their meal served.

 

As I leave they look at me, and I can tell they were giving

me thanks and praise!

(yeah right! They are just happily chowing down!)

 

As I leave the pasture this is my walk back to the house.

 

Here is all the extra trailers and our pickup.

 

AND...above the shop, which is NOW officially RICK'S SHOP!

No more thoughts of making a temporary stall in there

for MY HORSES! Oh No! It is only for HARLEY'S now!

Simon's World-Changes Daily

I have always wanted a Siamese cat.

I love their personality.

I love their coloring.

I just love everything about them.

Then along came Simon!

Simon was a cutie when I first got him.

Very out going.

Very Playful, and even got into things.

After three days of hissing at the dogs,

He bonded like glue to Sydney!

Here he is, just loving on Syd as if she is his long lost buddy!

 

 

Oh Simon is different.
He is NOT your A-typical Siamese cat.

He does not meow.

He does not get into things.

He does not boss the other two cats around.

He does not ask for things.

He hates to be touched.

He does like to roam though.
I am thankful he stays close to home.

 

 

He is so cross eyed, that I know his vision gives him triplicate of everything!

 

Surprisingly enough, he can make his mark when jumping onto things.

 

 

 

I have tried so hard to photograph his crossed eyes....

 

He can even catch bugs with grace!

and eat'em too!

 

But every day, he wakes up in a new world.

He hates to be touched!

He hates to be held, But will just go limp if you pick him up!

 

Just the other day, he high tailed it in the doggy door on a dead run.

By the time he stopped he was in the middle of the kitchen.

Took one look at Hubby and me, and turned and ran out the doggy door!

Hubby said, Simon thinks he is in the wrong house!

2 minutes later he nonchalantly walks back in, looks arond

as if he knows he is home.

Yes, Simon wakes up in a new world EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Sometimes all it takes is just a picture!

Other times, you need a bit of explanation:

This is such a tragedy to see what they have done to our country's wildlife!

The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect US Wildlife....

Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democrat Party.... as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance.  

This photo is of a Democrat black bear in Montana nicknamed:

Bearack Obearma.

ROTFLMAO....

A Child and Her Dog.

 I got this in my email today, and I don't know who wrote it, but it sometimes it helps to really believe!

What a nice story!

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see..

It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey... She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these
words:

 

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
                                Love, Meredith
 

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped
it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand.  Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies..' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
 

 

 

Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since
we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful
mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember
that I love you very much.  By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.

                                Love,
                                God
