I think I want to save all the animals because it is my nature to 'take care'.Maybe that makes me crazy, maybe I'm going to have to move to the shed because I'm out-numbered by the four-legged friends I've brought home.
Where will I keep that horse or two?
Keeper's first night home was pretty uneventful. She is fighting the crate a wee bit, but coming around. A good chew stick can help them adapt quickly, and the fact that she's got another dog on either side of her that she can take signals from.
When I got into bed last night there was some whining and pawing at the bottom of her crate, but I ignored her and within 5 minutes she was quiet and stayed that way for the rest of the night.
Big son walked by the 3 crates this morning and asked if we now lived in a dog shelter.
Yeah, it appears that way.
And this is the first time ever that Hubby hasn't given me a hard time about bringing home another animal. I wonder why? He didn't like Bandit for a long time, and still pretends he doesn't, but I know the truth....and Pepai was HIS idea, and the cats, he has honestly become much more tolerant of the cats, but I would never say he liked them.
But he didn't say anything negative about Keeper at all, other than I'm crazy....I wonder why? Has he just accepted the fact that I am a crazy animal lady? Or does he agree with my instincts? Whatever it is, I'm glad he didn't fight me about this one, because she made my heart feel so damn good!
You know, when you know you did the right thing, even though it may not be the easiest thing? That is what it feels like.
I have a vet appointment this morning so she can have a check-up, and I'll schedule her spaying, and Pepai needs to get done as well, it might be smart to get them both done at the same time, that way they will both be low energy while they are recovering, and Bandit, well, he's just like an old man lately anyway, he's not going to bother them.
This afternoon I have to pick up some fruit trays and some corsages for Big Son's Grade 6 dance tonight.
How has he gotten this old, so quickly?
He's going to junior high in September. Wasn't he just that little boy that used to snuggle with me late on Saturday mornings?
Now he's worried about dress shirts and cologne and dates for the dance.....I feel old, like my life just flew by, way too quick.
Ty had a rough few days, but he seems to be on the mend today. If it wasn't for this awful cough that he can't shake, he'd be good as new.
Daughter is distraught that it's raining, because she had plans for her and Keeper after school to walk through town. I love that she found something to motivate her to get out of the house this week.
I found a barn just outside the city where she can take riding lessons. She has expressed interest, and it tickles me pink to think that we could have THAT in common.
Now. Where ARE we going to keep that horse?
Thanks for checking in.
