A friend who knows you in and out,
Believes in you, and sees
In every look, each unsaid word,
The meaning that is hid beneath.


A friend who speaks with every fiber
Of her body, straight to you—
Whose heart is pure, whose body strong,
Whose love is deep, complete, and true. 

A friend with pride, well mannered, smart, 
With taste, and sense, and class,
A friend who’ll tell you when you’re wrong
But love you so in spite of that. 

A friend who needs you, keeps you, feeds you—
Feeds your spirit, feeds your soul.
A friend who gives her whole life to you,
And yet you make her life whole.

Dress this friend in warm sleek fur
And give her liquid eyes,
Four sweet white paws, a soft pink tongue,
A wagging tail trailed out behind.

Now call her Gizmo. Give her love!
You’ll get it back in spades,
For she’s a friend a friend should have
Who’ll love you all her days.

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...
