Fall Is Here

Hello again...just need to vent a little about how damn hard it is finding a dog friendly house to rent that ISN'T the size of a shoe box. The first place is definitely out, but I have 2 viewings set up for Thursday after work. Both are upstairs suites of duplexes, both allow dogs, and both under $1000. I saw one of them tonight on my own and LOVED it. Older house, ok-ish neighborhood, still no night time walks, but it was $950 utilities included, which is good for here, and was fairly big! Had 2 rooms, nice clean kitchen, the guy said I'd have a new shower head before I signed papers, and one spot in a garage...Bradey's truck won't fit! LOL mine...the other place I haven't seen yet but it's $700 utilities extra and in a worse-ish neighborhood. But both are VERY close to my work. I dunno...now that I'm not stressing about it and actually LOOKING, they're not as hard to find as they were...but still a pain not knowing where I'll be in 4 weeks yet.

Ponies are good but Zierra worries me sometimes...now her OTHER front hoof is kinda off. The one that was previously injured was deemed flat footed by Ethan, our farrier at her last trim. I have him coming back this Friday to take a peek at her and finish with Mini Man since we accidentally forgot about him somehow on trim day...LOL! Zierra was limping when we tried going out for Moki's birthday ride, favoring it yesterday...today seemed ok but still off. See by Friday how she's doing and what Ethan has to say, if anything.

Eve's gotten ALOT better since her little time off. Almost back to herself in accepting new things without putting me into barbed wire...plus I took that off the round pen! LOL now I have a fencer that works, got to test it out the other day myself! Was filling the tub and the water ran over a hot strand...I got it up both arms to my shoulders! Made me jump and scream...thank you to Moki and Bradey for not TOTALLY busting out laughing at me! I've been working with Eve more now, she's totally ok with ropes around her, on her, being thrown, and hitting her...ALMOST ready to start long reining. I've been walking at her shoulder asking her to move forward with clicking and hip bumps, steering with the reins. Just working on walk and whoa, some turning but not alot yet til she gets whoa down pat!

Cinder's hamming up retirement...alot more lovey now though. I jumped on her with just her bridal the other day...MAGICAL. I just let her jig - no bucks, no bolts, no rears...as long as I let her move out the way she wants to, I get no arguement so it's awesome! Was only on her for 15-20 minutes walking and jigging around the yard, but it was amazing. I'd say I miss her, but I still have her and that's all that matters...

Well that's all for now, going to be gorgeous weather tomorrow and we've had such a crappy summer I'm soaking it in every day it stays! Heading to the farm tomorrow before work, want to touch up Eve's feet and have Ethan look at them too for pointers! LOL
