This 'n' that

Where did this week go? I sure didn't get much done! Oh well, I guess mundane chores count for something. Little Mr. Rio managed to get another cut on his other hind leg, fortunately just a surface cut, nothing serious, but  if this is any indication, it's going to be a tough year for him! The first cut is almost entirely gone, just a dime sized area to grow hair back on. No proud flesh, no scarring, thanks to my essential oils. And let me say, it was a very nasty ragged cut, almost to the bone. Love my oils!

You talkin' 'bout me?

I got to thinking today, Rio will be the first descendant of my good mare Sundee that I'll actually get to ride- that is, if I get to keep him long enough. Sundee is the mare pictured in the background of this blog, a photo that was taken when she was 3 years old, riding down at Polson Montana gathering cows with Walt Vermadahl, who now lives at Cave Creek Arizona with his wife Mary- they are avid team ropers.

The dogs are bored out of their ever lovin' minds and have been really pestering me to play ball with them.

I try to throw it where there isn't any mud, they are really looking like farm dogs these days as we are in mild weather again and the snow is mostly gone. My mud room is really living up to its name, as that's where the dogs sleep at night.
Coyote Belle's baby is active, last week I was delighted to put my hand on her flank and get bunted by the baby. Can't wait! 6-7 more weeks! Foaling contest coming up in 2 weeks- stay tuned.
Tomorrow Ted and I are going to the Valentine's dance our church puts on, includes an awesome dinner of stuffed pork roast and all the trimmings. MmmMmm good. Dancing to a good country band and a night out with my sweetie- works for me!
