Where Does Time Go



I am doing my bestest deed ever. My girlfriend has been going through a extreme roughpatch the last year. Won't bore you with details. She has pets. Among them are 3 horses. They needed to find a better place for them so I just happen to mention something to my family. Next thing I know they are offering to take one of the horses. And I have taken in the other two horses. Well with having the horses here I realize it has been 34 years since I last owned a horse. My sons dad and I use to have a couple for riding. He wound up with the horses when we divorced. And for some reason I never got another horse. Thought about it. But didn't do it. I am reaaly enjoying looking out my window and seeing these 2 beautiful creatures. And my grandaughter is thrilled having Sport with her. Eariler this year I was chastised for giving her a dog without my son knowing. Here it is 10 months later and they are now living on a farm. They have 2 dogs, 2 goats, chickens, a duck and a goose. My son even lets the goose into the house when it was cold. I guess underestimated my son. I see now that I can get some sheep and it will work out. So after the horses move on some day than it will be time for the little ones.

What month is this?

Man, I just came in from taking the dogs out and is it ever chilly. Feels like Sept. or Oct. Well haven't written for awhile, where does the time go. Had to make the decision not to run Belle at the Boise Fair because she injured her pad. So I have decided I will wait until after Finals and start back with Diane.

At the beginning of the year I made the decision to breed my small dog and give my granddaughter a pup.(and I got grieve for that) There was concern about my son but in the end it all worked out. In fact the dog sleeps with mom and dad. Well a couple of months ago my grandson told me one day that he would like a friend. AS in a dog. Well he got into a little trouble with mom as teens do and so I never brought it up to my DIL. Well come to find out she had been thinking of getting him a dog. They are moving to a farm in Nampa and have the room for two dogs. So my grandson and I talked to her about a lab mix I know is looking for a home. But she wanted a small dog. The next day Kory brought up the lab again and than told her that he wished I would let him have the pup I kept out of the litter. Well I was thinking of doing that before I heard what he said. So I did the only thing a grandmother could do and gave him Kolt. I know he will have a good home I would trust this kid with my other dogs in a heart beat. I will get to see him all the time. I still have his mom and she is very special to me so I will be all right letting my little boy go.
