“This is odd,” thinks Java. “Hey! Murphy! Is something wrong with you?”

“Hey! I’m talking to you!”

“This is way too boring. Maybe if I run past Luke with this hunk of paper I can stir up some kind of game.”

“No! Luke! Hey! I’m behind you! You’re going the wrong way!”

“What do I have to do to get your attention?”

“I have secrets I can tell you. I know you never get in the house. Did you know that…”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“Oh, Lord, please don’t cry! I get enough of that from the lady of the house.”

Why I Do It

Both dogs went to the vet this morning. Java just needed a heartworm test and to get her nails clipped (as long as we were there). Latte had her third round of puppy shots, plus Bordatella because I hope to put Latte in doggy daycare a couple days a week starting next week. That should…

I woke up and realized I was a double-D, not the bra size, I mean that I was feeling the effects of divorce and depression.  I did the only thing a cowgirl can do in such a situation. I loaded my horse onto the trailer and went trail riding. This whole trailering thing has given…

Unexpected Detour

Unexpected Detour

I’ve come to rely on my GPS to get me around. It’s a safer way to navigate than the paper maps I used to use — looking down at the map, up at the road, down at the map — all the while losing my place amongst the list of turns.

Home Again, Home Again, Dancing a Jig

Home Again, Home Again, Dancing a Jig

The great thing about traveling is having the chance to be in an unfamiliar environment where you see and experience things you don’t normally see at home and interact with different people. So one would think that the good thing about coming home would be the familiarity and the comfort and convenience found there. Which is why I was surprised to find that when I came home, things actually looked different to me.

Just a Few Hurdles

Just a Few Hurdles

How exciting! I saw the sun today! I am so happy!!! The day started out at 27 degrees and it was dark when I cleaned stalls and fed the horses. Java checked out the fresh mud. The sun was peeking out as I hung out the laundry. I tried to capture the steam coming off…

  2. What a wonderful series of photos. They’re priceless! I really mean that. You should frame them!

    My K has convinced my friends horse to play tug with her. It was crazy to watch, back when K was a pup, how she’d take the tug toy and try to tease the horse with it. Eventually, the horse took the other end and a small game of tug ensued! Now, the two play with a stick together. So wonderful…

  3. This is so cute! I was laughing and crying! Java reminds me so much of my Bailey!! He always has to be right there in the horses legs, face, whatever, the closer the better!

  4. Mary…This post and the last post are great. Snow, yuck! But Java and the horses are so sweet. And the photos taken near the St. Louis River are spectacular. You picked out a great place to get away from it all.
    Thanks for your visits.

  5. Mary– Java is the key-ootest! Love the pics from the last post too. Sorry I missed the one before until now. Hope today is a little better.

  8. It’s been fun watching this crazy relationship develop between Java and mainly Luke because Luke just pays more attention to other living things while Murphy tends to be off in his own world. When the place does sell, I’ll miss being able to catch these daily moment, which I guess is why I try so hard to capture them now.
