They were all feeling pretty good and I gotta say, mama Belle started it! She sure is feeling good!
I have been assessing Beamer's arthritis and for the last couple of weeks, he is walking really well. I assume his arthritic joint has fused now... so..... this happened.
He was sooooo happy to get out! I kept the ride very short, and if all goes well I will keep exercising him. You have no idea how happy this makes me! I've got my boy back!
Yesterday was a good day in more ways than one. First, my nephew and his wife became first time parents of a healthy baby boy- their first child, which makes me a great aunt again.
Then, I went Christmas tree hunting again (with help from Tess ) and had a really enjoyable walk through the woods, drinking in the beauty of nature.
The sun glittered like diamonds on the ice in the pond.....
and lit up the weeds along the river bank.
I found places where the buck deer have been rubbing the velvet off their antlers.
Tess enjoyed the walk as much as I did.
And then, there it was. The perfect tree, in all her glory. So much for my idea of having a small tree this year! I haven't had a regular fir tree for years, I usually get spruce or balsam, but this one, although not overly bushy is so even that it had to be the one. There is just something so sublime about getting out and hiking in the woods with your dog, and finding the right tree. It's one of my favourite parts of Christmas preparation.

Such a pretty place to walk you are very lucky :)
And yay for Beamer being not so hurty and getting to ride him again :)
Beautiful tree! We always say we are going to get an artificial tree every year and just can't bring ourselves to do it. Beamer looks good!
Such happiness & beauty to see - your horses, land, photos and tree!
Oh, that is wonderful!! He looks great! My Cowboy has so many issues--hips, arthritis in P3, and I ride him every day to keep him going. I think it is good for them as long as they can do it. Enjoy every minute with your heart horse.
