Cats will definitely leave parts of mice on your floor. Definitely.

M&M

Scruffy, that is absolutely awful, and I'm so very sorry you've had to deal with this.

M&M

Meep!

M&M

I’m not too shabby at organizing and pitching extra stuff ... which leads directly to real-life Tetris! Need to pack a whole house for a move? One small carry-on for international travel for 2 weeks plus electronics? Car trip, plus camping gear, humans, and animal space in a small hatchback? Back c...

I was scared when I saw the title of this thread - I thought something dreadful might have happened. What a great update!

M&M

I'm in love. We'll expect frequent photos.

M&M

JIngling for an awesome new job for you, that starts right after your parents' visit.

M&M

I agree. She shouldn't ask for the PPE, she isn't entitled to it, but give it to her. Since you're not going to be staying with her (Yay!) her pushiness and lack of respect won't be your problem, so you don't have to worry about what precedent you're setting in your relationship with her.

I work winters at Dover. When I help check items to be shipped, the customer order shows the prices....? That's from the warehouse. Maybe from the store it's different.

M&M

I'm still stuck on how much I love Chisamba's suggestion.

M&M

She was a beauty, inside and out.

Scruffy, what a great update! And your son does beautiful, beautiful work.

Clanter, that top photo with all the animals... <3

M&M

Thank you all.

What is double longeing?

M&M

It's easy to piaffe when you're a first level rider.
Step 1 - Decide to go out for a bareback ride on a brisk fall day with a stiff breeze...

Need I go on? LOL!

What a beautiful eulogy. I love the bottom photo of "General doing things he liked!" He was a very lucky horse for the last 3/4-ish of his life.

M&M

Me too with the nuts in the shell, and absolutely about the muscle memory. When I get back on a horse, I'm probably operating at 75 - 80% of my past ability, with the exception of confidence and fitness. And boy, oh boy, is that confidence thing huge! I'm 60, and haven't ridden regularly since I was...

M&M

It is a definite breach of ethics. Having said that, once upon a time, in land far away, I did know of one vet who considered doing this once, when the people didn't want to be inconvenienced by taking care of a puppy with a broken leg. The mom was dripping fur coats and diamonds, the little girl wa...

Can the President be ousted for failing to follow state laws?

I'm just glad to know that Pinkequine bridles aren't pink!

When we had our restaurant, DH never thought he was good enough. John Lennon said a similar thing as what my husband says. (Not that I think DH is the John Lennon of the cooking world, but he is damned good.) But no matter how good the audience thinks it is, what they imagine in their head was a lit...

M&M

Those kittens (and child!) are so sweet, they make my teeth hurt! <3 X about a million!

M&M

I am so, so sorry you are going through this. I knew you were having unpleasant complications, but I had missed the whole saga until now. Sending lots and lots of hugs, prayers and jingles!

M&M

What a heart-achingly beautiful love story.

M&M

Koolkat is right - we're cheering you on to the finish line, Chance!

M&M

Oops.

M&M

He is stunningly gorgeous!

M&M

Yes - what do you use?

M&M

Chisamba, I remember your nightmare very clearly. I raise my glass also, albeit a day late. Here's to all those wonderful animals, and to you for putting one foot in front of the other until it became easier to smile again.

M&M

It was a fascinating article. Some day I'll watch at least some of the videos. This isn't fair, because they are all only one moment in time, but of all the photographs, Klimke is the one that strikes me as a beautiful moment. I'm an absolute neophyte, but the position of his horse's neck just looks...

M&M

I was going to say bay, but after reading the info at your link, I would definitely now say brown.

M&M

Did everyone/anyone see the announcement up in the top area of the index page? There are no responses, which surprises me. Check it out!

M&M

My step-mother-in-law, clean for 8 years so far. My sister in law, just passed the three year mark.

M&M

My heart was in my stomach reading your story, even though it was obvious from the beginning that all ended well. Good, good horses!

M&M

Really takes the fun out of the return of Pathfinder, that's for sure.

I'm glad though, that you're stepping back. You need to focus on you. Sending much love, prayers, jingles and hugs to you and Mike.

M&M

I love the idea of the splash of color in the white ceiling paint.

M&M

And your smile! You've done some completely understandable grousing over the past - how long has it been? Two years? but you have also kept a strong, stubbornly upbeat attitude. But your smile in that photo looks like it reaches all of you, like you have some lightness of being. And your hair is gor...

M&M

Baroque, that's impressive!

M&M

I agree with myleetlepony. In the hair splitting category, there are times when the horse is tired, or has just done something brilliantly, that you need to end right now. But not on a regular basis, and NOT in a clinic, certainly not with out an explanation. "Your just backed 3 year old just d...

I've never seen it done in a bathroom. Our restaurant had one room painted the same color on the ceiling, and another room with a fancy schmancy paint job on the ceiling, with a coordinating color. I'll try to find photos, but don't hold your breath. the only reason it might not work in a bathroom i...

M&M

Sue B, with all due respect to the others, your story made gave me goosebumps on my head, no lie. The part about your son....wow. The part about your son and Scotty and a brilliant therapist....wow. And Chisamba, I so understand a horse saving you by you saving a horse. I'll post my story soon, when...

M&M

I'm so very sorry for your loss. They are dark days, when we lose our beloved horses.

M&M

A thread with so many different emotions! I'm sorry she can't stay with you. I'm so glad she got out of where she was, and I'm so glad she has a safe barn to go, where you still get to love her. And I hope she does get to come back home with you someday.

M&M

Damages was really well done, but it got too intense for me, and I quit. This from someone whose favorite show EVER is The Wire.

Suits sounds interesting.

M&M

Sue B, DH and I really liked Person of Interest for awhile. There's one particular character that isn't in it in the beginning that gets to be too much for us, so we've taken a break. We are watching Blue Bloods, which is a pretty good formulaic cop show, IMO, and The Good Wife, which I think is rea...

M&M

Morgan Welsh cross sounds like fun to me!

M&M

Adding my wishes for him to feel better soon!

M&M

Why am I so remedial, in trying to get these silly things to embed in my posts? My screenshots files are too big.

And Manny's brother, Pedro.
