It's All Down Hill From Here

Well yesterday I went on an amazing trail ride with some friends. It was so much fun. We went down a really steep hill. Probably the steepest hiil Poor Fen has ever gone down. He was huffing and puffing. I was so proud of him after though! He definitly got some extra horse cookies! Anyway after that I went home and watched Little People Big World with Robby. I love that show! Then I went into work for a half shift.

Today I had a half shift at work, but in the morning (6:30am-10:30am). I love that shift, it goes by so freaking fast! It was a pretty slow morning at work. Not too many dogs came for boarding. But we had the usual amount for daycare. I noticed something funny though, all the dogs there today were all female! Then that changed when Blue the weimeraner pup showed up. He was definitly in heavan with all those females! And he did not have to share with any other boys ;-).

Anyway apparently When I left this morning I did not close the front door all the way...When Robby picked me up He told me that he woke up and found Panda OUTSIDE of our door. Luckily for us he did not wander far. He probably was too scared to be so far away from the food bowl. So I guess I need to be more careful. I learn something new everyday.

So Tomorrow I start the first day of my apprenticeship to be a horse trainer/riding instructor. I am so exited! My first day will definitly be a long day. I really hope that I will be able to handle my kennel job and this at the same time. I would love to quit and just focus on the apprenticeship But I need the money!

I will let y'all know what happens tomorrow.

Nighty Night.

Please Stick to Your Own Kind!

Well work was insane as usual today. I was in Doggy daycare for over four hours today. I think that is my record. Now normally being in daycare is my absolute favorite thing. For multiple reasons:

1. I love playing with all the dogs

2. When I am in the yard my boss can not come in and bother me (since I need to focus on the dogs.

3. It is really awesome getting to know each of the dogs personalities.

4. My boss can not bother me

5. It keeps me active and moving running around

6. MY BOSS CAN NOT BOTHER ME

7. I love being the "leader" of the pack



So yeah those are my main reasons lol. As you can see, one of the perks is that my boss can not be in my face. He usually never knows I am in there lol. So anyway I normally throw myself in there any chance I get. Im lucky because not very many people at my work like going to daycare. So I get first choice. Anyway today was another story. There were so many freaking crazy pups there today! They nearly drove me insane! First off there is this little German Shephard name Fenway. She is cute as heck but very annoying! She always tries to attack my shoes and eat the water hose. And apparently she lacks fiber in her diet because she was eating the bushes! Then there is Charlie, a litte pitbull pup. He is such a little brat. Always biting other dogs necks. He decided it would be fun to hump my leg. Then Mulligan a Golden retriver pup thought it would be fun and joined in with my other leg. Well five minutes later Monty, a Bernese Mountain dog, decided that he wanted a turn and began humping my leg also. Why can't they just stick to their own kind! Im just glad they were not giving a tour at the time this was going on..

Finally my shift ended and I was off to the ranch. It was a short trip. I took Fen for a quick ride around the block then I gave him his supplements and headed home. Of course there were a few hugs a long the way. Fen really likes it that I come everyday. I can see that he is much more happier. I never get tired of looking at that gorgeous horse.

Well I am off to bed. Early ride in the morning.

Toodles!

I am the Lone Ranger

Lately where I live it has been over a hundred degrees every freaking day! I checked the weather report before I went to work and it said it would not be over 90 degrees! Yeah this means I can actually ride Fen in the day light! I had work today, but it was only a half day (6:30 am to 10:30 am) So when I done with work I went home, grabbed a bite to eat and headed to the ranch. I did not get ivited to ride with anyone So I ventured out on my own. I am still unfamiliar with the trails So I stuck to the ones I knew and still managed to get lost lol. But Fen was a good boy as usual! I saw some jogs laying on the ground and could not resist a little bit of jumping practice. That went very well. I overall had fun but It is lonely riding out on the trail. I am used to being around people all the time. I am still sort of the new kid in town So I guess I got to earn people's respect before then invite me to ride with them. Oh well. I ended up going home early.

Hopefully I have something more interesting to report tomorrow.

Tata for now!

IM BACK!

Hey Y'all!

I think it has been about 5 or six months since i have posted anything on this blog. I miss writing on it so I am back for good. I have a lot of new things going on in my life. And the blog is the perfect way to document what happens. Plus I love posting about the crazy things my animals do! Let me catch you up to speed on whats going on with me.

First off there have been some major things going on at my kennel job. I have had a new boss for about four months now. And let me tell you WE DO NOT GET ALONG! (note: the all caps lol). Anyway my old boss got fired for things that are unmentionable. I had a pretty good working relationship with him. I may have gotten crapy shifts but at least we got along and he made it tolerable. Anyway me new boss have never gotten along. You see, at my job there are three major deparments that make the kennel run. Boarding, Grooming, and Wellness (water therapy, massages, ect.). Anyway I work in the back dealing with the boarding dogs and the general care of all dogs in the facility. Back then my current boss just worked in the training department. We would pass each other in the hall way once in a while but nothing more. But one day he had the nerve to pull me aside and tell me that I am not good with the dogs, I got really irritated with him and rolled my eyes and walked away, Well I guess that hurt his feelings or something becuase he went and told on me like he was a little child or something. I got in trouble of course. But whatever I didn't care because we did not work directly together. Well now HE is my boss and he is making my life a living hell! He is always changing my schedule every week so I can never make any plans. And he is constantly harrassing me and telling me that I am doing my job wrong. If the owner of the kennel didn't like me so much I bet He would have had me fired. Even though there is no valid reason as I am always on time and have filled in for people whenever they call in sick. Just being a flexible all around good person. Anyway I want to quit so badly!!!! But I can not do this as I would have no money. And no money equals no horse! so that is not an option. Which leads me to my next point.....

Since the time I was twelve I have had one dream. To be a great horse trainer/riding instructor. It has been my dream for such a long time and I would have given anything for it. Exept that there really is not any kind of schooling available for it. You really do not need training for this and as long as you know about horses you can basically do it, But this is not good enough for me. I want to learn from somebody who has experience in the horse industry So that I have the knowlege and a good reference. But this kind of thing usually cost thousands of dollars. Well I have an amazing oppurtunity to work with a fantastic horse trainer/riding instructor. At no cost. I will exchange doing barn chores and helping out around the ranch for her teaching. I really think this is the key to my future. My "mentor" told me she thinks I have a natural gift with horses and that if I polish that a bit it can turn into something incredible. When I head that My heart jumped for joy! So I dropped from full time to part time at my kennel job so I can obtain my dream! So we will see if I can handle my kennel job and this apprenticeship. I am really exited that I am on the right track to my dream!

I also finally moved Fen to a new boarding facility in Chatsworth. I got tired only seeing him once maybe twice a week.

And we all can not forget my crazy cats. Panda celebrated his one year birthday (or what we believe is his birthday) the first of September. He has gotten a litte bit bigger but is still pretty small for his age. He is supper annoying though. Always in my face and always REALLY annoying. He gets into everything! But I love him to pieces!





And we can not forget Sundace. He is still fat and he still likes to eat and sleep all day lol. He is Such a daddy's boy, HE loves Robby to death. He only likes me when I get him treats lol. But He has a special place in my heart.





And last but not least of the cats, there is my baby girl, KT. She is still as cute as every and still very shy. I really love her very much and must admit that if I had to choose a favorite out of the three it would be her (shhhh don't tell the boys)lol.




And then there is Fen. He is seriously the love of my life. He is what motivated me to make my dreams of becoming a horse trainer/riding instructor finally happen. He is seriously the best horse in the world, well at least in my eyes. in these short months he has changed so much, all for the good. He is riding better than ever and is learning to trust people again. He is so outgoing now! we are currently working on some basic arena work and jumping! yeah you heard me JUMPING! he can do it! I never thought he would be able to since he is blind in one eye. But he proved to me he can! we are also going to start training for the cowboy race, actually a friend of mine is going to train with me. I will definitly blog about all of his progress. I love my Fenny boy!




Robby and I are doing great. He has really stuck by me through all of these tough times these past few months. We have been together for over two years YAY! We are both going to go for our dreams no matter what!



Y'all will be hearing from me.

Toodles!

Major Sensory Overload!

I have not posted in a while....Life has been so freaking nuts. A lot has happened at work...Fen has been lame....and well I may be losing my insanity! there is just so much going on I can not focus on anything.

First of Fen has been limping on and off. He had me Oh So worried about him. Every time he got worked, He would be dead lame the next day. Finally after driving myself crazy I called the vet out. I was fearing the worse. he ran every lameness exam you can think of. And He said he was FINE! He said that he may have sprained his ankle or something. Or he may just be sore from all the extra riding. Whatever the case is he is fine!

Since Fen magically healed from his mystery lameness, I rode him in a gymkhana last week and he kicked major ass! He placed in almost all his events except barrels. (he decided to go his own way instead of the pattern. We got second on pole bending, third on the obstacle course, fourth on the flag race, and fourth on the "gated stakes". It was so much fun and he is so talented. Or at least I think. ;-)

Panda lost his manhood yesterday. I really don't think he cares. He acts like he never even had surgery. He is happily running around and bothering me. Stinky kitten!

Oh well. bye bye.

It's Been A While

So I haven’t not written a blog in over a week. I really do not have a good reason why. I guess I have been really tired. Three people called in sick at work last week So I have been hauling butt for three people. Good news though. After nagging my boss enough I finally have the good early shifts. So I close twice and get to open three times in one week. That is music to my ears! It means way more time in the saddle. Which I am very happy about.

A lot has been going on. I am still in between the fence about moving Fen to a new ranch. I really love being near my friends and having people to ride with. But I am having some problems. Main problem with one particular friend. He is having some financial issues. So he started to give riding lessons to make some extra income. This was a really good idea but he does not have a horse that will tolerate the bad riding of a beginner. And since Fen is such a good boy I offered to lend him Fen for his program. At no cost. But he is abusing the privilege of using my horse. Last week he gave his first group lesson to a husband and wife. I had a Saturday off which is rare. So I decided to go and watch and see what really goes on. The husband was a macho jackass with a bad attitude. I really did not want him riding my horse. But the wife was a better rider so she had to ride my friends mare who is for experienced riders only. So he had to ride Fen. He was yanking on the bit, kicking him so bloody freaking hard. And making him run around so much. After the lesson I told my friend how I felt and He really did not care. So I called that strike two since. Strike one was when he had a new student on him and she was yanking on his mouth and my friend would not correct it. Than to make matters worse he was limping after the lesson. Than I check under his feet and his feet were not picked and he had a rock under there. So now he has stone bruising thanks to my friend not checking his hooves.

So than yesterday I had an early shift so I wanted to go see my horse. It was lesson day for my friend but he said not to worry because Fen was just being used in a ring lesson and he would be done by twelve thirty. I get there at twelve thirty on the dot. But Fen is not in his stall. I look in all three arenas and could not find him or my friend. I was worried. I had no clue where my dear Fen was. Than a half an hour later he showed up with my horse like nothing was wrong. He was a half and hour late and did not tell me he was going on the trail. And the worse part is I asked him not to use him on the trail since he used him in his group lesson earlier that day and since my horse was still sore from the previous weekend of use. After that said and done he had the nerve to ask me to help him get ready for his next lesson since he was running late. All this and not a dime from him. It just makes me so sad. I feel like I am being taken advantage of. I was just trying to be a good person and help a friend out. I was not asking for anything except the mere respect for me and my horse. But with that all said and done it makes me wonder if I made the right choice to stay at my ranch.

Fen is lame right now. I am really praying that he just needs shoes. Since I have him barefoot right now. I love this horse and I would be so upset if something were to happen to him. I have already lost a couple special horses. I will cry if something is wrong with him.

Another thing to ad to my frustration I have to do my income taxes tomorrow. I have never done them before so I am very nervous. And I ALSO have a dentist appt the same day. I hate the dentist.

Than to top it off. All my cats have FLEAS! I keep my place so clean! I think I brought them home from work. All my cats are so itchy. We treated them with flea treatments and its helping. But gosh when am I going to get a break.

My luck has been kind of stinky lately.

Just Got Next Week's Work Schedule

I am so extremely pissed off about it. My boss PROMISED me more early shifts. I have been working all night shifts for a long time now. I am so sick and tired of it. The one time I stand up for myself in life I get shut down. And I was also suppose to get a promotion which never happened. This is ridiculous and unfair. If this keeps happening I am going to have to quit and look for another job or sell my horse. And I really do not want to do that. I am so mad.

I do have my party later.

Ill post how it went later.

I am so pissed off right now. GRRRRR

Happy Birthday Dear Blondie. Happy Birthday to ME!

So Today is my twenty first birthday. And although I am exited. It really is just another day to me. Except I am not at work! That's a nice change for once. For a couple of days I do not have to worry about prepping food for 50+ dogs. NO check ins or check outs for boarding and daycare. I don't have to worry about making sure certain dogs ate their meds with their food. No picking up poop. No yelling SHHHHHHHH to keep them quit in the kennels. No breaking up fights. But also no cuddling or kisses. Or cute puppies. But come Monday my life will go back to normal.

I will say it has been nice having some extra time in the saddle. I really miss riding Fen. I get to ride him at least three times a week with my schedule. But I love the extra quality time.

Yesterdays ride was so freaking awesome. We went riding around these gorgeous hills. And saw some fancy pants homes. But then Dennis and I rode by this abandoned construction sight. There were about seven of these multi million dollar homes that looked done on the outside. those big tractors and things were there just sitting and rusting. It was a reality check for me on how bad the economy really was. They totally ran out of funding to build those houses so they just left them there. Dennis and I rode around the sight admiring how beautiful they were and how it would be nice to live in one. Of course we agree that we would keep two and tear the rest down and built a twenty horse barn with a large indoor arena. Dennis told me there use to be an awesome trail were the homes where. that they blocked off the trail to build more homes. That made me angry. They took away so many of our trails just to build homes. But the ride home was peaceful and not too cold!

On a even better note I got my English saddle. I am so exited to use it! I will be taking it over to the ranch today and trying it out. YAY.

And well I am not giving my thirty days notice to my ranch. I really love the people and I do not want to screw up anything again.

Oh and tom. is my party. I am so very exited about that! I get to see all my old friends! I can not wait.


Cheerios to you all!

Ill be hitting the trails today!

Forecast for the week = nice sunny weather with a chance of Alcohol

Hey y'all

My birthday is exactly four days away and I could not be anymore exited. It will be the big twenty one. So now I will legally be allowed to drink myself silly. But knowing me I won't. I got three days off just for my birthday. And guess what I will be doing? RIDING FEN! lol I have not been able to ride him as much because of my crappy schedule at work. So I will definitely be riding! if the weather permits. IT BETTER!


I am going to give my thirty days notice to my current boarding stable on my birthday. this is very hard for me because I realize how much I care for everyone at my ranch. I just hope I do not chicken out. I really want to do whats right for me and my horse. And also Robby who has to drive me to the ranch. I hope I figure all this out without making everyone angry at me.

So anyway I am having a birthday party on Sunday. Just a few friends and of course food! Than I hope to go on a trail ride after with some friends. It is going to be so much fun.

And I realized that on this blog I have spotlighted Fen, Sundance, and Panda but not my precious K.T. She is such a good cat and hardly ever does anything naughty. Here is our baby girl.





It is a gorgeous day outside today. It makes me want to ride so bad. It will be hard to concentrate at work today. When it is raining outside, or over a hundred degrees its easier for me to do my job because I do not feel like riding in those conditions.
Oh and I am anxiously awaiting a package. I am getting an English saddle for my birthday! I ride western mostly. But I wanted an English saddle to use when I am too lazy to lift my forty pound western saddle. And it will give Fen a nice break once and a while. And with it I got a lovely lime green girth. Well I have to go get ready for work.

Oh and for your enjoyment here is a random picture of our Fen:



It shows his wild side ;-)

World's Worst Cat

Well Panda has done it this time....

How could something as cute and innocent looking as this....



DO THIS?!!!



Robby told me that he caught panda doing this! I have no idea why he did this. I mean he has every cat toy in the world yet he insists on making a hole in the wall. I guess We are not getting our pet deposit back. With all this said I still love him to death. But ill have my revenge. Panda is going to be neutered soon. HAHA. But it's for his own good anyway.

I do have work today. The crappy shift as always. Im getting really tired of this shift. I can never get anything done at home. And it takes away so much time away from poor Fen. I may go see him tonight but who knows...

Oh and my birthday is coming up. I am so excited. I asked for three days off of work to celebrate.

I am off!

Good day to you!

What's For Dinner?

I went into my pantry to get some items to cook dinner. And apparently cat is on the menu. Yeah you guessed it, I found Sundance just hanging out in there. My cats are so weird. But I love them anyway.

Night Time Fun

Well its official, I have fully decided to move Fen to the new ranch. All I have to do Is give my thirty days notice and try to explain this to my good friend. I went to visit Fen last night at eight at night. It was pretty dark and the only person there was the lady who rents the ranch apartment. I tried on my Australian saddle on Fen that I recently purchased off of craigslist. It fit him but was too small for me! But I paid nearly nothing for it so its ok. It was too dark and too muddy to do any serious riding. So I threw on a halter and just sat on Fen and goofed around. He was such a good boy. Than We had a little photo shoot with Robby as the photographer. At first Fen was not to fond of the flash. But he got used to it. So here are a few Random, Silly photos of Fen and I.

As you can see I need extremely harsh, severe equipment to control this boy




I love my pony!




Peace out!




Add your own caption. HAHA





I so love this horse! he puts up with so much stuff. I don't think I have ever loved a horse this much. We already have such a good bond.

Well I am off to work.

Peace out!

Changes

Well A lot has happened at where I work. For instance the Assistant manager quit randomly. Now this may not seem like a big deal but it is! When my boss was not there, she was there. Basically her job was to assign the jobs to us Kennel staffers, And basically oversee everything. Plus she did all the closing shifts. With her gone we are down one person at night. And night is the craziest time. All the daycare dogs usually leave all the the same time....In the evening. So with all this, my boss asked me to work all night shifts for a while...Until things settle down and he figures out what to do. And of course I said yes. There is nothing I could really do about this He would have just put me on those shifts anyway. So this leaves me in a pickle about my dear Fen. Its not fair for me to see him just two days a week. I could sell him but THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! And the other option is that I could move him to a ranch closer to me so I can see him at night. I just looked at my old facility in Granada hills. And It would be great to board there. They have a huge lit arena and they have lit bridle trails. So I could ride at night! And it is sooooo much closer than my current ranch. It only takes fifteen minutes (WITH TRAFFIC) vs a half an hour. And if there traffic it could take forty five minutes. And that's tough. The worse part is I do not drive. Robby usually drives me. Now I could take a bus but the bus would take three freaking hours! and in the dark none the less. But the dilemma is that I have friends at my current ranch. Especially one that uses my horse for lessons. And my horse is the only horse gentle enough to tolerate a beginners scary riding. Without my horse he will lose half his clients. I mean he doesn't give me any money for this. I let him do this from the goodness of my heart. But I am going to feel so horrible for this. But for once in my freaking life I have to do something for me you know? Its not fair for me to only see my horse twice a week. Id basically be paying to board my horse and have someone else use him. So I will be giving my thirty days notice soon. I hope the owner just lets me leave on the first.And as for my friend I really have no clue....I hope he doesn't hate me. I just hope he understands. Maybe he will move up there with me. I doubt that. I have to do whats right for Fen and I. I really love him so much.

The Great Wallet Caper

Well Its raining here and of course I have the crappy shift today. YUCK. Anyway I managed to go riding yesterday before this big storm hit. The gymkhana was canceled because of all the mud. So I just trail rode. I was out riding around for about three hours. It was totally awesome. Fen was such a good boy. It was starting to get dark so we headed home. Then I realized that I had lost my wallet! Ahhh! I had forty bucks in it (which I did not care about to much) and all my medical cards (which can be replaced) and my DEBIT CARD! Yes my debit card that has all my money on it! I back tracked the whole trail. but it was getting dark and I knew someone had to have taken it. So I immediately called and canceled it. I will get a new one in seven to ten days. Same with my medical cards. I was amazed about how good fen was through all of this. He could care less about turning around and doing the whole trail over again. I love that horse. He is just such a good boy. and I did all of this riding bareback. So I have a couple pics of the good boy =)

Bi Polar Weather

I swear this weather we are having is Bi Polar. One minute its pouring rain outside and the next minute it is nice and sunny. Anyway it's not like it will do me any good. I have to work today. And the crappy shift none the less. At least Robby and I had an early Valentines dinner last night. Went went to our favorite Sushi restaurant! Anyway I woke up to the sound of the cats playing in the garbage basket. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of that escapade. Oh and Sundance has a new favorite place to hang out. Right on the of the refrigerator. I went to make my breakfast and there he was.



A few minutes later I found them Cuddling on my chair. I guess they remembered it was Valentines day today and they had to love each other lol




Well I am off to go keep dogs from humping each other.

Have a lovely day...

Looks Like Rain

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was so tired from the awesome mountain ride I went on with a few friends. Yesterday was awesome. I wish I could go back and do it again.

Yesterday starts off pretty typical. I wake up to Panda attacking my feet. I ate breakfast. Then I go to take my shower. But I have visitors in the bathroom with me.



You guessed it. Both Sundance and Panda were playing in the toilet. This is becoming a regular morning ritual for us. I guess I have to tell Robby to keep the seat down. haha.

Anyway, Then Robby drops me off at the ranch so I could go riding with my friends. I get to the ranch and realize that my tackroom keys fell off my keyring. After I frantically look for them for a few minutes, I soon came to the realization that they were forever long gone. My friend was about a half hour away (hey had spare keys to get in) So I put a halter on Fen and ride him around bareback. It was fun! And he was such a good boy about it. Than I tied him up and flipped though the pages of an old tack catalog. I soon become bored with that and I started taking random pictures with my camera. I managed to get a decent one of Fen.



So than my friend Dennis showed up. We were tacking up and my other friend Molly showed up. So we invited her. We all decided to go on a mountain ride since Molly and her horse Dreamz have never been up there. I wish I would have brought my camera. The views were amazing up there. All the horses where pretty well behaved. We even went for a little gallop. That was awesome. Then on the way home Molly spotted a baby bunny on the ground all by itself! It was so cute! I immediately jumped off to get it. I didn't have any intentions of keeping it. (Like I need anymore animals) I was simply going to relocate it. It was not safe out in the open. So I jumped Off Fen. But it ran away. So sad. But I was amazed that Fen stood there and ground tied on the open trail. What a good boy.

It was a blast yesterday. But I most go to work today. And of course I have the crappy shit. And it is suppose to rain all weekend. So there will be no Gymkhana.

Oh well...

Good day to you all!

Labrador Retriever Central!

So I work at a dog kennel. And we offer, training, boarding, grooming, wellness and of course Doggy daycare. And as animal care attendants we rotate working in daycare. I was out there a good two to three hours today with all the dogs. And I noticed that there were A lot of labs there. And they all were different. First there was Jade. She is very loving, sweet and calm as can be. Very well bred in my opinion. The ideal lab. She was a good size, not too thin or too fat. She was a beautiful yellow color and had gorgeous hazel eyes. I wish all labs were like her. Than there was Cooper. He is a freaking Mac truck. I asked his owner how much he weighs, and she said just a little over a hundred pounds! And almost white in color. He looks innocent but he is a huge jackass! Very dominant. He is always humping the other dogs to show he is more dominant then they are. And whenever someone walks by the daycare yard he is always barking very aggressively. And he is always in everyone's business. Than there was Horatio. He is a chocolate lab. Very tall and very skinny. He was very hyper. He would never sit down and rest. At least Cooper will take naps every now and than. Than there was polo. She is a black lab. She is very very short. Almost looks like a really fat puppy. But she is full grown. She has a personality much like Cooper's. I was kidding with my Co Worker saying that I think she is related to Cooper. Than it got me thinking. Why do People breed dogs with these traits. Not only are they not visually appealing (which is the least important thing to me)But they are idiotic and their personalities are horrible. Not really good family dogs like the lab's portrayed in the good ol' days. I am really against breeding these days since the shelters are packed with dogs that need homes. But if you insist on breeding, why can't you breed decent quality dogs like Jade (dog mentioned above). Than there are Labradoodles! Ohhh the horror! For those of you who do not know what a Labradoodle is. Its a lab, poodle cross. Its considered a "designer dog" But ill get into that another day.

Just Another Wednesday

Well I have work today. And its such a shame because it's so nice outside. Perfect for riding. And the icky thing is I have the late shift, 10:30am to 7:30 pm. So by the time I get out it will be to dark for riding. Yesterday was such a nice day. I went to my weight watchers meeting. I have been at my goal weight successfully for two months now. YAY! Then I went to the ranch to visit Fenamore. And I also rode Pusher. Pusher is a Tennessee Walker that I am training for a friend of mine. He is the biggest airhead of a horse that I have ever met. He never pays attention when your riding him. If I turn my attention to anything else when I am riding him, He would fall in a ditch or something. Then of course I rode my dear fen. He is such a good boy. Just plodded down the road with no problems. Oh another thing that happened yesterday. I was about to take my morning shower and guess who I found in the toilet? PANDA! Yes I found panda in the toilet just slurping away. And well I got it on video lol. Take a look. Make sure to have the volume turned up so you can here him slurping!



Oh And here is a cute picture of Fenamore just for fun!

My Lovely Little Introduction WARNING VERY LONG

Hey Folks,
This is my first Post! Yay! Anyway, there is not much to say about me. I am a fun loving girl who would rather clean a horse stall than her own room. I would rather be outside on a horse than inside a mall. I love the outdoors. I work at a dog kennel. I am around cute, fun, and idiotic dogs all day. I have a small group of fantastic animal loving friends. If im not at work or at the ranch you can usually find me at home with my wonderful boyfriend and my beloved feline friends. I have three cats and a horse that I love dearly. I plan to add a second horse to my family very soon. I love taking pictures of my animals. Especially those pictures of the strange things they do. I can't really explain it. But you will see all in good time. So I guess Ill introduce my furry friends.

FENAMORE
Fenamore is basically my life. He was given to my by a good friend of mine. I was considering quitting horses before I got him. I had a very bad year with horses and lost a very special horse. But dear Fen fueled the fire in my heart again. We think he is approximately twelve maybe thirteen years young. He is strawberry roan in color. I really have no clue what breed he is. I was told that he was a quarter horse mix. I think he is quarter horse and Morgan with a splash of mustang, but who knows. I love him just the way he is. He is blind in his right eye but that does not bother him any. I have huge plans for him. I have already started training him for barrel racing and other gymkhana games. He has an amazing turn on him. And he has some speed in there too. He has such a good mind that I also want to enter him in Craig Cameron’s extreme cowboy race at next year’s equine affaire. I know that’s a while away. But it’s never to early to prepare. My friend uses him in his lesson program. He is so gentle with beginners. He totally knows the difference between say running a set of barrels and going on a nice calm trail ride. I hope to use Fen to teach my beginner boyfriend how to ride. He is everything plus more that I cold ask for in a horse. I remember when I was a teenager I wrote down all the qualities I want in my dream horse. Fen is all that plus more. I look forward to many years with him.




K.T.

K.T. was Robby (my boyfriend) and I's first kitty we got together. We obtained her in an interesting way. One day we got a phone call from Robby's mom. She found a kitten at where she works (she was abandoned) and she asked us if we wanted him (we thought she was a he when we first got her). Robby was a little skeptical at first because he was a full time student at the time. But after he saw her cute little face it was a done deal. she was the tiniest little you ever saw. She had a serious attitude problem at first. Always biting and scratching you. But as she got older she mellowed out. And became the biggest love bug ever. She is very shy and timid when she meets new people but once she gets to know you she is so lovable. She is the calmest out of all three cats.



Sundance

Sundance or "Mr. Personality" as we call him is the most rambunctious, personable cat in the world. I swear he is more dog like than cat like. He drinks out of the toilet for crying out loud! He is always getting into everything. He can be incredibly lazy also. And he is food obsessed. he loves to eat! He also has a bit of a weight problem. He is a little over a year old and weighs about seventeen pounds! So he is on the larger side...K.T. barely weighs eight pounds. Anyway when adopted Sundance from a place called Pet Adoption Fund. They are fantastic people to deal with. And all their animals are healthy and well cared for. Any way Robby and I noticed that our schedules were getting kind of heavy with work and school and horse related things. And K.T. was bit getting as much attention. So we decided to adopt a kitty friend to keep K.T. occupied. We adopted a cat from a local shelter that we loved. unfortunately the shelter lied about the health of that cat and about two or three days later the poor kitty was humanely euthanized. All other Kitties were sick at the shelter so we decided to try a more local rescue. And that is how we got Sundance. And although he can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes ( I have scars to prove that) We love him and would not trade him for anything!

Panda

Panda is the youngest out of all three cats. He is very friendly and very hyper. We really did not need another cat but when we met panda we could not help but fall in love. We call him “Sundance Jr.” because his personality is so much like Sundance’s. We are still learning about him. He is a keeper and we can not wait to watch him grow.
