Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Blogging—I love it. Helping my dear Fenway Bartholomule with the maintenance of www.BraysOfOurLives.com has been a great experience, and I have been so very pleased with the outpouring of encouragement from fans the world over! Puddle Run, too, has served well as a place for my human voice. wwww.FairyRabbit.com, however, has never felt like anything but an obligation to me; after all, it turns out that Harriet just isn't much of a talker.

A false start, sure . . . but it's evolving into something new, and, I hope, something enduring. Harriet Linus, the rex/Californian cross, has kindly given her Fairy Rabbit blog into the joint custody of me and Fenway Bartholomule that we might post his many commissioned poems. Written for fans during our "x-rays for Fenway" poetry drive, these works honor friends, two-legged and four, living and deceased, who hold—each one of them—a very special place in someone's heart. It is my hope that the orders will keep coming in, because Fenway and I love writing, because the stories I have heard are moving and inspiring, and because a little extra ca$h never hurts!

In the meantime, Puddle Run is here to stay. I'll be back with more on Thursday!

Thanks for reading,
Marnie

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...
