Well I'm back again. Seems so busy again, and no time to blog. I keep wanting to join Sunday stills, but I haven't been around on a Sunday to get it done yet, maybe this weekend.
I went to a friends son in laws welcome home from Afghanistan party on Saturday and actually had a lot of fun. There was a meal (with homemade pumpkin pie!) and then we all went swimming at the leisure centre, I had never been there before, and they have a wave pool, and a neat river that the current just flows around and around, real cool with a tube. And the water slide. I forgot how much fun swimming can be.
On Sunday, I went to Calgary to my sisters and spent the day visiting with her and the kids. We got up early Monday morning (5:45) and went to 50% off day at Value Village. I got 3 sleeveless shirts, dress pants, 4 tank tops, 2 dresses, a pair of shorts, and 3 hoodies, all for $80! It was lots of fun, and reminded me why I don't live in the city, event though my nephews tried to convince me I should.
Today I went and dropped off Dinero at Lanes, I took Bailey along for company and Lane started her 3 years ago and was surprised how much bigger she is. I went riding and rode Dot again and when I came home put Bailey out with George, and she wasn't happy to be out without her girl friends. But George was sure glad to have company again and followed her wherever she went. Pretty funny for the boss horse, lol.
We also picked a branding day, on the 27th and so I have a million things to get done before then. Will be nice to get that over with though.

Vet Again
I like it when I go to the vet and I don't have to pay, that's kinda a nice change. So far that's three times this year that has happened. Not that I want other peoples horses hurt, I'm just glad its not mine.
First was Razz and we went to get her teeth done, and he didn't want to do anything cause she was pregnant. Then I went with Jardi to get Dot stitched up, and today with Jardi again to get Flower stitched (although he never did stitch her) after she jumped over the water trough and scared the sheep out of the pen.
I actually went over to ride, but Lu never showed up, so I went to the vet. I should make an appointment for the puppy and I got to pick up vaccinations. I guess its that time of year again.
Last night we went and tore out the last (I hope) beaver dam, and we saw a muskrat swimming past, although when he got to the dam, he climbed over, I thought it would have been cool if he woulda swam through the hole we made. Neil shot a beaver last night and brought it home, and I felt his tail cause i never had seen one up close before, and I was kinda disappointed, it was little, but kinda rubbery like I thought. I thought it would be real big, but really wasn't even as wide as he was.
I also learned something yesterday, I am wider than a deer. This may not come as a surprise, but while walking through deer trails, I sure seem to get a lot of scratches.

Answers and Confusion
Husbands!
Sometimes I wonder. I had Shirley's prize all packed up and ready to send away on Friday when Neil went to town, so I sent it with him asking him to get the postage and mail it. Simple right?? Well apparently not so much, he never dais anything about it, so I just assumed he mailed it (I should know better than to assume things by now) Well last night he says he seen the package in the truck and mailed it yesterday! Yikes I wish Id have known at least, so your prize is on the way, well just call it a present for happy spring! I did say you won anyways and can't really change that, so Happy Spring to You!
I will also give Linda a prize, cause she really did know what was going on even if I seen him and she didn't.
Umm what else, Oh ya, I am confused and actually hoping all your guesses are wrong in the contest, not because i don't think you know what yo are talking about, but I really want a bay filly from Belle before the end of May, and a colt from Razz before July! yikes, that's so late and I want it sooner.
hmm oh and apparently there is only one red female puppy (I thought there were 3 red females and one black female and its the other way around) and she is not sold yet. She is the one with the dot on her head. She and Rascal and the other nameless red male actually look like they are tri colored with a little tan on them as well.
She is the one on the left side facing the camera. It looks like she will be short haired so far. (that's actually Jardi's favorite pup.) That's the only pic I have of her, they move around so much now they are hard to tell which I had and which I didn't.
I think I should maybe go back to school and learn all about he differences between girls and boys, because that's twice in a week now.

Foals and Puppies and all things cute!
Its been kinda a busy weekend, which seems rare, cause usually we are just home and weekends are boring compared to the weekdays, cause there's nothing to do.
On Saturday we went to Neil's Nieces graduation. It was a nice do and am still kinda surprised there were 35 grads in Duchess. That's one of the biggest classes they have had and pretty good for a small town.
On Sunday we went to my Mom's house for Mothers Day and it was a good times, my siter and family, my Grandpa, aunts and uncles, and my Mom's husbands mom was there as well.
Monday not much happened, we were too tired and it was cold again. But I did get 3 trays of seeds planted. Little bit late, but still before I can plant ouside yet.
Yesterday I had to be at the dodge dealer at 8 to get my truck worked on. We finally get the truck paid off and all kinds of work need to get done, coincidence? Not sure, but they changed the tires, tie rod ends, ball joints, new hoses for the transmission, and a new light for the licence plate and new brakes. I need new shock absorbers, but they have to order them in yet. So I kindly asked for a courtesy car and got one, and so I had breakfast with Jardi and then went shopping a bit, then went out riding (on Dot!) and stuck around till the dealer called at 5. Whew long day again. I still had to stop and get a few more groceries and get some pictures printed, so I never got home till about 8 pm. I was pretty tired, but it was worth it, I got so much done and so many cute pictures!
Dot
At the barn there was a mare that just foaled on Saturday, so I had a look at her and she is so tiny! she makes Fly look huge.
Here she is (Mist, so far)
Here's her sucking mom. Pretty fine, but cutting bred, so thats pretty normal.
same pose as Mist, but a little closer, He looks so huge now.
Oh and I also got new pics of some of the puppies, they are weaned and so cute and they just play play play then sleep, then more play. They are so cute, but kinda hard to take pictures of cause they are always in your face.
This is Chevette (black female) and Rascal (Rascal(red male) is sold)
This one is balck nameless)
This is red nameless female and black nameless)
(and this is Pirate (red female)
and more Pirate
And they looked so sad after we left the stall. (spot (black male-sold), red nameless, two more black nameless, and Pirate again)
They are so much fun to play with and cuddle, there sure are different personalities coming out now for sure.
