These are the things

These are the things FarmWife could do next week: 


She could donate blood to the Red Cross.

She could mentor a child.

She could write a book.

She could dine out at any of a number of fine establishments.

She could learn to crochet.

She could make a hot-glued macaroni mural.

She could sharpen her scissors.

She could practice the piano.

She could walk a shelter dog.

She could file her toenails and apply polish.

She could join an acapella singing group.


This is the thing that FarmWife plans to do next week:


She plans to deworm me, Fenway Bartholomule.


FarmWife is not a bad person—she is a good person who sometimes makes bad choices. 

Ears,
Fen

    Very well put, FW.

    Is it possible she may do one or two of those other things as well? I don't think deworming you will take *ALL* week...

    I agree with Bill. Everyone gets discouraged. That's the way life is.

    well take some Appy advice and mash it around in your mouth.. Make it LOOK like you are swallowing it all peacefully and without a fuss and then.. put on your darling-est face.. which I cannot imagine is much of a stretch from your normal face if you are anything like me, and reach out to her as if to rub a fly off her shoulder and Stick out your tongue and smear her with what you did not actually swallow.. THIS allows you to treat her for worms.. which YOU did not have either.. and still take wormer so she will not dose you again.. TADA!!!

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...
