only thing that hasn't changed is the damn weather! We've had so much rain in the last month or two, it's disgusting...it's the end of August and we've had 2 days over +30 and our highs now are +19. Dammit...summer skipped us!
Anyway, because of the weather, haven't been able to do too much of anything with the horses. Too wet in the yard and pasture, been out on the girls a couple times though. Starting to go through withdrawl and want winter already! I can ride if it's snowing, not so much in the rain! Cinder's really enjoying retirement, I think she understands she's out...I can ALWAYS catch her now, even without her halter. She pushes her way up to the gate when we're taking horses out! Eve is still a little flighty at times but gaining her mellow side back. REALLY need to start spending more "training time" with her though, getting rusty! Once it dries up a little I think she'll be ok to start riding when the snow gets here. I want to start long reining her in the round pen, then in the yard, then ride in the round pen...I want her ready for it.
Justus has been a bit of a brat but nothing too bad...just hopping into her gaits again and pulling snotty pony every now and again but no rearing/bucking so it's good. Have to work on leading a bit and ground manners though! Zierra's got something going on with one of her front hooves...Ethan said she had a "flat foot" or something, but I'm pretty sure we're able to work around it by sticking to softer surfaces and possibly shoes next summer. We'll see.
Things with Bradey are going really well, we're back together and taking it day by day. With my lease coming up and him hating where he lives now, we agreed buying a house together is way too soon but roomies is a good step. We were ready for this step before and I think we are now too. My mom was upset to be the last to hear of Bradey and I...but it's not like I wasn't talking about him, she was just concentrated on beading and The Doc's show on tv. Whatever...
Finding a house under $900 that allows dogs is retardedly hard! Saw one tonight but every room is freakin TINY and you have to climb down a ladder to get to the laundry...the tub was pint sized and the roof looked a little eh...yet we still filled out an application just because it was $750 and close to Moki, Ashley, the farm, and not too far from my work. We're not taking it though...after some thought and talk, we want something bigger! The bed alone literally filled the room...we're talking a DOUBLE, not a queen size! Anyway, I found 3 more pet friendly places, all closer to my work...neighborhood's a little more shady but I don't need to go for walks at night! Besides...I'll have my dog! OMG my frickin DOG! Going to be so nice to have her back! Miss her like crazy.
Work is going well, still with Dr. Jay and love her to pieces. Some days get a little hairy but it's just a challenge to myself to see how "on time" I can keep us! Last Wednesday was insane...but I got us out half hour after everyone else so not too bad!
Niki's birthday is this weekend, I feel funny not actually handing her a gift but I gave her the $250 as a deposit on Jynx and lent her the rest...maybe I can get her something small. But what? Something to think about...
I need to get to bed, work in the morning...I hate Saturdays! LOL
