Big Boots....
Yep that is Mushboy wearing his dad's boots. They are a bit big, but Mushboy loves wearing them. You see Mushboy has big dreams, dreams that will help him fill these boots and then some. All of us horses hope those dreams come true, we look forward to Mushboy being our vet.
What dreams do you have for this year that will help you fill your boots?
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
The snow has melted...it made mud. The Mushboy mucked paddocks and things were nice. Now it has rained for two days, making more mud. The DOR groomed us, we laid in mud. The rain cleaned us off, we rolled in mud. There is mud in all the pastures, mud on all of us horses, and mud all over the DOR and Mushboy. The white horses look black, the spotted horses look like brown horses, and the humans look like they went to some fancy mud spa.
Yep MUD...
The DOR hates mud, but what can she do? She just MUDdles her way through it, ha ha ha.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
I am a bit muddy in this photo. I seemed to have gotten goopy overnight, the DOR took care of that with another grooming session. I am sporting braids and they have managed to stay in for two days despite my best efforts to rub them out.
I have enjoyed the past two days. The DOR has spent at least four hours each day just puttering around. I spent my time following her and helping. I would pull the mane comb out of her back pocket and carry it around. I checked out her coat pockets to see if anything needed to be removed, such as pesty treats. I nuzzled her and gave her back scritches while she braided Shandi Doll's mane. I styled her hair while she was brushing Shandi, she really appreciated it too. My favorite thing to do was to lick her every chance I got, I have plenty of salt that I can get to I just lick her because it is fun and it makes her giggle.
The DOR was happy that I am back to my snuggly self. I want my head rubbed, my nose smooshed and blown up, I want smooched, and I want the DOR to just stand and hug on me. Yep it was a great weekend, I just wish that the DOR had another week of vacation so we could spend four hours a day together for another week.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."
~ Lewis Carroll
I hope every one's new year is off to a good start, mine is. I saw this quote by Lewis Carroll and realized this applies to the DOR and I this coming year. As I continue in my recovery and the DOR continues refining her horsemanship skills we are not sure what the future holds for us, other than what ever road we travel it will be together. It is nice to know that we have each other, it makes the future more exciting knowing that we are a team that just keeps getting better and better.
The interesting thing about not knowing the road you will take is that it makes the journey that much more interesting. This year has already been full of interesting things. I am getting more white spots on my face, my hooves have more white in them, I side-passed in my paddock yesterday at liberty....aren't those all interesting things. The DOR says they are things that make you go hmmmm. I have also found a clearer way of communicating with the DOR and she has found a better way of listening to me.
Here is to our journeys in 2010...bless you all and enjoy the ride.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
Taco cat is a palindrome and so is today's date:
01/02/2010
Isn't that interesting?
According to Aziz Inan:
Palindrome dates are extremely rare. Before the beginning of this century, the last palindrome date of the second millennium occurred approximately 621 years ago on August 31, 1380 (since that date is 08311380). A total of 43 palindrome dates occurred during the second millennium; however, they all happened between the 11th and 14th centuries. No palindrome dates existed between the 15th and 20th centuries.
The second palindrome date of this century will occur on Jan. 2, 2010 (since that date is 01022010) and this will be the second palindrome date in our lives. After this one, the third will occur next year, on Nov. 2, 2011 (11022011) and the fourth will be on February 2, 2020 (02022020). There are a total of 12 palindrome dates in the 21st century, with the last one occurring on Sept. 2, 2090 (09022090). Note also that all the palindrome dates of this century will fall on the second day of the month. After this century, 12 more palindrome dates exist in the 22nd century (all being on the 12th day of the month) and another 12 in the 23rd century (all on the 22nd day of the month). The last (36th) palindrome date of this (third) millennium is to occur on Sept. 22, 2290 (09222290). After that, no more palindrome dates will happen for another 711 years until the next one in 3001, on Oct. 3rd (10033001).
So let us all appreciate this day, it is a rare day indeed. I for one am looking forward to celebrating this palindrome date and the next one...I would be delighted to celebrate the one in that occurs in February 2020, but I am a realist and chances that I will be around then are not good. We all need to celebrate special things as they come and not wait, otherwise you could miss the party!Life is so good! Oh and Jack told me to remember to say: Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR
