I started this blog back in 2009 to talk about me and my life with animals. I would go through phases were I would blog everyday then not blog for several months/years. I have had so much happen to me the past three or so years that it has left me in a fragile state of being.
I thought as a way to heal I would just blog. Even if it’s just a couple times a week. Anything just so I feel like my voice is heard (even if nobody reads).
Instead of updating on all that has happened I will just re-introduce myself.
My name is Kayla. My animals are my life, my oxygen. I have a loving boyfriend who has stuck by me though all of these hard times in my life.
A couple years ago we tried to live in Northern Ca. It did not work out very well (although sometimes I wish I have it more of a chance). We ended up moving back to Los Angeles. I thought that it would cure my sadness and my life would be butterflies and rainbows. But I was still severely depressed and still utterly confused with where my life was going.
I recently started putting on weight. Not just a couple pounds, try 80 pounds in 6 months. Without even trying or eating badly. I attributed it to my depression but something was just not right. I was pressured into getting a physical and with that I found out I had thyroid disease. I was relieved that it all was not my fault. Following that physical has been a storm of doctor’s appointments and testing. And through that I found out I actually had a auto immune disorder that basically destroys thyroid function all together. I am now on medication to help correct the problem. But now I am stuck with all this weight that I must lose. I am determined to be healthy once again.
About this time last year I started my own pet care business. I have worked at kennels for so many years, so I know how bad they can really be. I offer dog walking and pet sitting and even do a little bit of grooming. Business started slow, but is definitely increasing as our name is getting out there.
Almost two years ago I had to put down my sweet horse Fenamore. And although it has been awhile I still mourn daily about it. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. He was the most amazing horse that I have ever met. We had an amazing bond that no one could break. And even though I have a great horse now, I wish I could rewind to the day we met and relive all the great memories I had with him.
I have two insane dogs. No really though they are sweet. I have Sydney, a lovable but slightly neurotic Pitbull mix. And Skeeter, a sweet but slightly “special” Husky Mix. I love them both to pieces.
I also have two horses. Both fairly new in my life. First I have Ellis. She is a miniature horse, but don’t you dare tell her that. She thinks she is as big as a Budweiser Clydesdale. She has tons of attitude but there is a kindness to her buried way beneath the attitude. Then there is Salem. I have not had him very long, so we are still getting to know each other. He is tall, regal, and very sweet. And one hell of a fun horse to ride. I think Salem and I already have a bond forming, so we will see where that leads.
That is my life in a nutshell right now. As I said earlier I will blog at least twice a week. Possibly daily if I remember to do it. I really need this blog at this point in my life. Even if no one reads I’ll feel better getting it all out of my system.

Jingle All The Way
Ahhh Christmas is in the air!.T minus 4 days until I leave for my visit to LA. I am so exited! I get to see some of my friends and family. In addition, I am excited to say that Robby gets to go as well. He will leave on Christmas day. I am so happy that we get to celebrate Christmas together. But it’s also cool that I will have a few days to visit with my friends before he gets there. Princess Sydney will be staying with Michael, Rob’s dad. I wish Sydney could come but I am sure she will do just fine with Michael. I will still be a worrywart though, it’s my nature. The only issue I am having is the care of my horse. I have not found anyone to take care of him. I have a couple people I am still going to call to see if they can care for Ferris while I am gone. If not he will just sit there in the pasture with no human contact other then the dude who feeds and cleans. Man if he has to sit all five days, he sure is going to be a handful and a half to ride when I get back.
On the subject of Ferris, he is doing incredibly well with his training! We have been hitting the trails whenever it is not raining. I really enjoy working with his horse. On Monday, we both actually took a spill on the trail. We were riding on slippery ground, I accidently spooked him and when he jumped he actually slipped and fell to the ground. And me with him of course. I hit my head really hard. But as soon as I hit the ground, I was up in record speed. And the cool thing is that Ferris stayed and did not run off. After I made sure we were both ok, I mounted back on and we finished are ride and it was lovely. Good thing I was actually wearing my helmet. When you are working with young horses, you got to expect a spill or two I guess. He is a really smart horse though when it comes to learning new things. I cannot believe we are trail riding out alone. Even with our little accident, I still have incredible trust in him. I know he would never purposely hurt me. He still needs a lot more work to be my next cowboy race champion. Which leads me to my next point……
Lately it has been almost impossible to get Ferris worked when it is raining. The stables have a beautiful covered arena, which is nice for rainy day rides. But the thing is it is ALWAYS unavailable as the people who take lessons get priority. So I either stand out in the rain for several hours in line and wait or I don’t ride at all. Yesterday I got the monthly ranch newsletter in the mail and they have several new rules that I am just so pissed about. First rule is people who take lessons get first priority for arena usage. This I already knew. Now they have periods where non-lesson people are not even allowed to use it or consider using it. Monday-Friday 3-7pm. In addition, all day Saturday. Most of the time I can only go in the afternoon to work him. So that really sucks. Then here is another rule that pisses me off. When lessons are going on in the big arena, you cannot use the round pen next to the arena. That is the only other pen to ride in that is not flooded with water and mud. So where the hell am suppose to ride when it’s raining?? I am so mad. It looks like I will be moving to a new ranch. I know I moved there to be with people but right now I can give a rats ass and would rather ride alone and get my horse worked. And right now I really do not care that all other ranches are more money. I just want to ride and train my horse. Period…
I started my dog training mentor sessions last week and I am really enjoying it. I have a feeling that this is going to be a really good thing for me. And I also worked a 7 hour shift unloading all the Petco store goods. 7 hours of heavy lifting. crazy thing is I sort of enjoyed it. We shall see how all of this fits into my future!
Well I have no clue when I will blog again, maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. Ill never tell!
Tata for now.

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
Well I finally have some news regarding my dog training mentor sessions with Petco. They called me and want me to start doing sessions this Sunday. I am very excited and thankful. I honestly thought they would never call me back again and that I was going to have to search for a new job. I have no clue what to expect from these sessions. I hope it leads to a job that I can semi enjoy.
I am in full-blown Christmas mode. I find myself humming holiday tunes constantly. Heck, when I was in the shower I was belting out “Grandma got ran over by a rein dear”. I still need to get myself a santa hat to wear around. I have almost completed my holiday shopping except for some bits and pieces. I scaled down on some of my ideas to save myself some money. I know I am going to have over three hours of wrapping ahead of me. That ought to burn a couple calories.
Speaking of calories, yesterday I had a huge opps with my diet. I tried on one of my outfits I plan on wearing for the holidays and I hated the way I looked in it. I looked like a pregnant slob. I was so mad that it looked so good on me in the store but as soon as I tried it on at home it looked ugly. Anyway I got depressed after that and ate a generous portion of Robby’s trailmix. Its full of nuts and chocolate which equals to tons of fat. I have not had a food meltdown in a month so I was so disappointed with myself. But instead of making more bad decisions I went right back on track with my diet. And I did not eat anything the rest of the day since I went way over my daily calorie allowance.
Trying to eat less than 1200 calories is extremely hard for me. I am constantly starving which I think was one of the contributing factors of my food meltdown. I will allow myself to go up to 1300 but that has to be it. I noticed it is becoming very difficult to lose weight this week. I know I have not been as active as I can be but I am watching what I eat and ignoring my horrible cravings. I still go on walks when the weather is good. It is so frustrating knowing how good I can look. And I just don’t want to be as fat as I was ever again. One thing that makes me so mad is all these skinny people around me can eat whatever they want and stay perfectly thin and I have to practically starve myself to be borderline obese. Uhh whatever.
Today was a pretty good day for me. Robby and I work up early and went to see Ferris. I gave him a good workout in the arena. He is doing extremely well in his training. Then practiced opening the gate while I’m on him. He was not quite sure what I was asking of him. All I wanted him to do was stand still while I lean over to undo the hitch thing. Of course being a young horse he was moving all over the place. But after a couple of tries he got the general idea. As I went to open it one last time the gate slipped out of my hand and slammed him in the butt. I felt really really bad but he could care less. Any other horse would have freaked the freak out. But he was so good. I plan on taking him on a nice trail tomorrow if the weather stays nice.
Then I took Princess Sydney to her favorite place. The dog park. And she played with her many boyfriends (she is a very popular girl). Its funny most of the people that hang out at the dog park during weekday afternoons are in their late 40’s-60’s. They always tease me on how I am the youngest person there. But they are very nice and let me join in on their chats. Their chats are usually gossip about other dog park goers, or the silly things their husbands do. I do enjoy listening in though. It’s quite entertaining. The people that bring their dogs on the weekend are another story. People of all ages are there. However, I am usually riding on the weekends.
I have not written about my nutty cats in a long time. Sundance and I are not on good terms since I brought Sydney home. But he has always been a daddy’s boy. Panda is still very annoying and is always meowing. I wish he had an off button, especially in the middle of the freaking night when he insists on carrying on with his talking. And KT rarely makes an appearance anymore. She hangs out in our den and comes out when the dog is in her crate. None of the cats really care for Sydney.
Well thats it for now.

The Thunder Rolls, And the Lightning Strikes
Contrary to what the title says, there has not been thunder and lightning here. However, there has been a ton of rain! Almost nonstop. Usually I get really cranky when it rains a lot because it means that I do not get to go riding. But at the ranch I board at now, there is a huge covered, all weather arena. So it does come in handy on those nonstop rainy days. Only downside to that is that this ranch has a huge amount of people that take lessons. So on the weekends you have to wait until the lessons are over to get the arena.
Ferris (formerly known as Kooper) is coming a long very nicely with his training. I cannot believe I wanted to give up on him and move on. But he is turning out to be an amazing horse. And I cannot wait to hit the trails with him when it stops raining. I would really like to take him out before I leave for my five day trip. I just know he will be full of it when I get back haha. But I am seriously now starting to really bond with this horse. Yesterday When I was riding I got off him to pick up my hat that fell, and he was following me around like a puppy. That is when I knew that he really did love me.
Lately the weather has been too bad to do any exercise outside and do my walks. And I have no gym since they are remolding the apartment gym. So I have not been working out. I know there is stuff to in my own home. But I get really bored and frustrated, and when I get in that state of mine it is impossible to get anything done. So I have no clue if I am losing weight or not. So I have restricted my calorie intake a little more than normal. I am supposed to be taking in about 1300 or so. And I am trying to not eat more then 1000. But I am finding that dam near impossible. I am always hungry and when I do not eat enough I get a horrible migraine, and since my stomach is practically empty, I cannot take a pain reliever or ill get sick. It is really a vicious cycle. Therefore, I have been averaging about 1200 or so. Which to me is not bad since I am not working out as much. So in my head I am eating too much. Supposedly, you burn calories exercising a horse. But I do not count my horse time as exercise. So In my head I am not doing anything. I also do not own a scale (I was using the gyms). So I have no clue what I weigh and if I should be eating less. Everyone says that I am starting to look good. But I still feel fat. Once the gym is back, I will be happy and not so obsessed.
I am expecting a boatload of packages coming my way. I did almost all my Christmas shopping online this year. I actually thought it was kind of fun. I think I did pretty good this year I got a lot for a little and my wallet appreciates that. I still need to hit the mall for some little things but other than that I am done!
Speaking of my wallet, Petco has still not called me about my training for dog training. I have officially given up on them. I really do not think they have a place for me. Which is sad because I was really excited and really needed a job. When I had to put Fen down I totally blew through all my savings. I was going to use that money to do my Christmas shopping and have some money towards a new saddle, since the one I have is too small for me and not the right kind I would eventually need. But what’s done is done I guess. I still need like $300 or so more dollars to finish my shopping. I’m going to see what more of my tack I can sell to get the money. Hopefully there is something of mine that is worth a little bit.
On another note Sydney is getting bigger. I think she has doubled in size since we got her. And almost has doubled in weight as well. I really love this little girl. I have wanted a dog for so long and I finally stopped complaining and got one! I feel bad for her because it has been raining and I have not been able to take her to the park. Next time I get to take her she is going to be nuts, that’s for sure! She is such a huge goofball. Some of the things she does is ridiculous but so funny at the same time. Everyone that meets her loves her.
Well I am off. I will try to write more often.

Black Friday
Well yesterday was Thanksgiving. For the past two years when I worked at the kennel I had to work Thanksgiving. So it was really nice to have the day off with some family. It was a small gathering, Just Robby, his dad, and I. And of course little Miss Sydney. To me it really does not matter how many people you are with during the holiday. It is the together time that matters. And we had a really great day.
Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving I went shopping for all of my dinner ingredients with Robby’s mom. I actually was a fun experience (minus the multiple people that slammed into my arm at the store). We went back to Robby’s dad’s condo (he has a way better kitchen then I do) and prepped some of the food. I had a pretty fun time and it made me forget about some of the crappy things that have been happening to me.
Our Thanksgiving feast consisted of: Sweet and sour meatballs, homemade oven baked macaroni and cheese, garlic and cream cheese mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, and a salad. It was not your traditional Thanksgiving feast, But who cares! It was wonderful! And let’s not forget my homemade peanut butter cookies that were fabulous! It was a great meal and my fist holiday meal that I prepared myself.
My animals are doing good. The cats still hate Sydney’s guts. It will be a very long time till they learn to tolerate each other. But at least Sydney does not have any new wounds on her face from the cats haha. Sydney has almost doubled in size since I brought her home. And has gained over twelve pounds which is wonderful considering how thin she was. And as for the horse I have officially changed his name. I realized when I named him I didn’t give any thought to his name and just gave him a quick name that I came up with on the spot. So with some major thinking I have changed him name to Ferris after one of my favorite movies “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off”. Now he has a new name and a new attitude which is wonderful news for me. He is really coming around and I’m starting to fall in love with him finally. I did not think I can love another horse after I lost Fen. But it is slowly happening.
Today is black Friday. Which it the most hectic holiday shopping day of the year. People get up at the crack of dawn and shop till they drop, or shop till their credit cards are maxed out. Either way it’s a lot of shopping. I try to do most of my shopping online to avoid all the mayhem. Which for the most part works. But I find myself in a mall for the forgotten things. People are just nuts around this time of year.
Well things are starting to look up for me. But I still wish I was in LA. Oh well.
Talk to y’all later.

It’s Beginning To Look a lot Like The Holidays
Hello. Nothing interesting going on with me. My mood is improving though. I am not as depressed as I have been lately. I still miss Fen dearly. It has been over two months since I have lost him. Feels longer then that though. December would have been our two year anniversary together. I remember I got him exactly a week before Christmas. Ok enough with that before I get myself upset again.
But I seriously am starting to get the holiday fever. The other day when Robby and I were marketing I bought some fat free egg nog ice cream. I bet I was the first and only person at the store that would buy that haha. I see all the decorations all around me and it is driving me nuts. It is way to early to be this exited about Christmas. I just want it to be December already since so many things are happening that month. I am taking my driving test for the fourth time December 8th. And I am very nervous about it. But I have a strange feeling that this time I have it in the bag. I am by no means a bad driver, Robby can vouch for me. I just get really nervous when I take tests. I freeze up, end of story.
Then I am leaving December 22nd to see my friends and family in Los Angeles. I am supper exited that I am about to burst at the seams. I am bummed though that Robby will not get to go since he has to work. And I will be away from him, Sydney and Kooper for over five days. And since I have been living up here, they are all I have. But I am going to enjoy myself for sure.
Petco has dropped the ball again with my training. I am now almost nearly done with my workbook. I should have started my dog training instructor classes like over a month ago. I have no clue what’s going on. This would be a perfect job for me if they would freaking just start my training already. The bills won’t pay themselves. So I guess I will start my job hunt again. I just hope I get a job that I will enjoy somewhat. We shall see where that goes.
Toodles

I just want it to be December already since so many things are happening that month. I am taking my driving test for the fourth time December 8th. And I am very nervous about it. But I have a strange feeling that this time I have it in the bag. I am by no means a bad driver, Robby can vouch for me. I just get really nervous when I take tests. I freeze up, end of story.
Then I am leaving December 22nd to see my friends and family in Los Angeles. I am supper exited that I am about to burst at the seams. I am bummed though that Robby will not get to go since he has to work. And I will be away from him, Sydney and Kooper for over five days. And since I have been living up here, they are all I have. But I am going to enjoy myself for sure.
Petco has dropped the ball again with my training. I am now almost nearly done with my workbook. I should have started my dog training instructor classes like over a month ago. I have no clue what’s going on. This would be a perfect job for me if they would freaking just start my training already. The bills won’t pay themselves. So I guess I will start my job hunt again. I just hope I get a job that I will enjoy somewhat. We shall see where that goes.

Bleh
Well I wish I had more to report of all the things going on in my life but I really do not. Nothing has really changed. But I thought it was still necessary to blog about it since I have not written anything in over a week.
Only exiting thing is that I found a dog park that is a little over a mile away from my apartment. So if the weather permits I can take Sydney there to play and escape the many hours alone and bored in my apartment.
I still feel like I am all alone up here. I still have no friends or anything. And basically I have no family since Rob’s parents are so busy. And I am dead broke. And because of that I have not been to weightwatchers in two weeks. But I am still following the program at home. I am saving every spare dime I can get to buy Christmas presents for my family. Petco has not called me in over two weeks so I still have no clue what is going on there. Sigh.
I really wish I had something more interesting to say. I did however get my tickets to visit LA during Christmas time. So I am looking forward to that ever so much!
Well I guess that is it for today.
