Fenway Bartholomule's Other Best Internet Celebrity of the Day: Squirrel Bomber

This guy is apparently even better at quickly rising to fame than I am. One day he's crashing family photos in Banff and the next he's got a front row seat with the Queen herself!


Now I am so close by degrees of separation to all of these people that I might as well be their friend myself. Thanks, Squirrel Bomber!

I should thank Swammy Rabbit over on COTH for bringing this  revolutionary rodent to my attention. Swammy has raised over $900 for CANTER in Ohio through the phenomenal psychic power of Equine Mind Reading. I think CANTER stands for Cultivating Asslike muleNess in Every Racehorse. It's a group that takes endangered thoroughbreds and places them with FarmWives of their own so that they can become more like me, Fenway Bartholomule. In addition to helping CANTER to spread the muleness, Swammy has given those equines who are less communicatively gifted than myself the opportunity to pass messages to their human owners. You know, important stuff like "less pain, more grain," or "keep being awesome." That, dear reader, is MY message for YOU.

Love, Fenway Bartholomule

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
