A Good Mail Day


Yesterday was a good mail day: Missy got her new goat coat (it fits!), and FarmWife got a mulishly splendiferous t-shirt in the mail from our dear fan K.. A giant, mule-sized public thanks to you, K.! FarmWife does, indeed, love "sitting on her ass." This is, if FarmWife will forgive me for saying so, a perfect t-shirt in more ways than one. 


Today, FarmWife is going to celebrate the beauty of our Wickersham autumn by mucking the paddock, grooming the mule (me, Fenway Bartholomule), tidying up in the garden, and so forth. 

FarmWife is terribly suggestible, and so I shall suggest that she stuff her pockets with carrots before getting to her outside chores. A lovely afternoon is in store for all!

    I, too, REQUIRE a shirt like that... where can we get one (if we're not heading to Lake Geneva anytime soon?)?

    I live very near Lake Geneva, but have no ass to sit upon. Well, except for the rather largish one betwixt my legs and back.

    I have a hunch I know which store this shirt came from, but I'd have to check for sure.

    I'm so glad you guys like FarmWife's shirt! I'm not sure if they're available online—K. just picked it up as a gift—but perhaps you can twist Meaghan's arm on the matter. Meaghan, ever dreamed of going into business as an ass-shirt middleman?

    My arm could certainly be twisted if I can indeed locate the shirt. Can we get any leads from the shirt-sender as to the identity of the shop? That would be most helpful - popping in and out of all the shops in Lake Geneva with the baby in tow might be a bit of an adventure.

    If Meaghan can locate these shirts, I'll definitely throw some extra cash her way for her time and effort if she picks one up for me.
    Oh, and some mule kisses from my husband's longears will be sent Meaghan's way as well!!

    I have a message off to the giver of the shirt, too, in hopes that she can reveal her source . . .

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...
