hope you found your puppy. We ordered in tonight because I have a cold or flu and don't have the energy to cook. I was supposed to go out for dinner with friends and then to a Sarah Macglocklin (sp) concert but had to cancel because I feel lousy. So my guy ordered my favourite soup (wor wonton...

haven't been doing much for dinner lately, mostly canned soup and sandwiches. The weather today is crisp and clear but they are warning of the chance of snow on Sunday. It would be our first of the year and I have a baked bean recipe I've been wanting to try so I might make it for tomorrows...

Oh lucky lucky Riley! What a sad reason to begin looking for a new addition, I am so sorry you had to say good bye to 3 of your well loved dogs. I can only imagine the pain and shock of loosing 3 so close together. I hope having Riley helps ease that pain and help you remember them with a smile...

Wow! That is an amazing thing to do. It should earn you some good karma and I hope it is paid back 10x over to you. I'm sure you made that woman's heart swell with relief and gratitude. So glad to hear all went well for Laila.

No, not the same hand, the opposite side in your free hand. Angle back behind your body and it can easily reach the horses butt. I find a dressage length whip works well but have used my lunge whip for this too just shortened up as Minimor describes. I wouldn't use treats for this either (each...

Good heavens Riverrose, that has my mouth watering . I am making turkey soup (have turkey and broth saved from Monday's Thanksgiving dinner) and baking buns to go with but I'd rather eat at your house .

Congratulations! That is a great result from a first show (or a 50th show lol). Any chance you have pictures to share?

I agree with Kendra (and Quiltinmoms clinician ) 'unlock' the horse by pulling it sideways a step. If an than doesn't work you can begin to carry a dressage whip in your outside hand and use it as Minimor describes to encourage the horse to move up. Its usually a sign of either confusion (as in...

Your young one does sound busy. Nothing wrong with a few minutes of gentle training each day but even tho she seems eager to you I would suggest that she might need more time just being a baby. You will have lots of time to start harness training. I'd say you have good instincts and only you...

Yup, each situation is unique and should be judged as such. Should this homeless man be given a puppy? I would say no, nor should he be left with an intact female but his dog was a street dog just like he is homeless and they seem to offer each other so much I for one do not begrudge him his...

OK!! How cool is that! I chose my anniversary date (Oct 17) I always knew that was a lucky day for me ;) It will be 27 years this Friday. Not counting the 11 years we lived together before we got married. Wow, how time flies!

We had leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner again tonight. I did cook lunch for the crowd tho and made macaroni and cheese for 60 along with cubed ham and fresh fruit.

Very well said Riverrose! Financial fortunes for many of us can be up and down then (hopefully ) up again, dogs don't care if you are rich or poor, they just love you. In our town there is a homeless man who has a dog. Although I don't know it for a fact I was told the dog was a stray and the...

Just how small is your little guy? I have a 28" (or 28.5 depending on the day/measurer) mare who not only can drive and pull my less than svelte self around with relative ease, but loves it. She wears a 3.5" bit but we also have2 - 30" geldings and one takes a 4" and the other needs a 3.5". Your...

I often make extra loaves to freeze so if I don't want to cook I can pull out a premade meat and just add a vegie side or a salad. I will often fry slices of it (in bacon grease if I have it) to reheat it when its been frozen. Adds to the fat content and makes hubby happy lol. I like the idea of...

How about 17?

You can build a floor but be sure to use materials that can handle the continued wet conditions. We had a run in that was like that and instead of a wooden floor we built it up inside with small gravel/coarse sand and then put mats over that. It worked well, gave us drainage and with the mats...

Funny, my husband says it is far better in sandwiches the following day than it is for dinner the night its made. I will eat it as a premade sandwich, after all it has bread, sauce and meat, just not in the same form as a sandwich. LOL

Welcome from British Columbia. I hope you have as much fun with your minis as I have had with mine. I came to minis after many years of saddle horses and it didn't take me long to decide that I could have more fun with the littles than I was having with my big guys so I haven't owned a full...
