I'm not the only wet mule


http://fuglyblog.com/?p=1895

It turns out I am not the only wet mule in the world. There have been many wettening incidents across the country and I learned today that the humans have been aware of terrible flooding for some time now. I think they shelter me from these things because I am a gentle soul, but they also forget that I have the Power of the Muleness in me. 

Fugly blogged today on the subject of the flooding disaster in Tennessee, and included footage of horses being rescued from the flood. This is good. The rescuers have Muleness. Follow Fugly for updates on opportunities for charitable giving.

I am huddling in my shed, winter blanket on, hay before me. I am grateful for these things.

Love,

This, by the way, is a link to the most awesomely swimmyish album art that I, Fenway Bartholomule, have ever seen. I have not had the privilege of listening to its music.

    Cheer up dear Fenway, at least you are not up to your knees and hocks, or, heaven forbid, your nose in water. As you know, mules do not melt. And the grass of your non-sacrifice paddock will be that much tastier for the rain.

    Love,
    Beate

    Beate, thanks for the encouragement. I am cheerier today, having been let out for a bit of exercise. Anonymous, I'm sorry if I typed words of an advertising nature . . . what I had intended was that you should all see the neat picture, which I have found in non-ad format and placed elsewhere on a newer post for your enjoyment. No purchase required.

    Jaybird was all tickled by the snow sleet hail thunder and varied other weather effects of Monday. To say our ride was snort-filled is an understatement.

    Out came the blanket.

    Yesterday was more reasonable, just thunder rain with less embellishments.

    Stay high and dry, 60's forecasted for the weekend.

    The good part is all this rain and snow means enough snow-pack for the hay ( and other) crops in eastern WA> Yakima valleys projected reserves went from 70% to over 100% in April. Totally unexpected.

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...
