Smooshy squashy puppy

I haven't forgotten to tell you my third white hair story. It's just that I've been busy eating blackberries, and taking dust baths, and carrying FarmWife down the trail. Plus, I've honestly begun to question whether it's really a white hair story at all. I'm thinking it's closer to a creamy yellow. 

You remember how FarmWife's oldest human filly lives in two homes, right? She lives here on Bent Barrow Farm and she also lives in a condominium in a city called Saddle. It's famous for its space needle, but I think it should be famous for its name. Saddle. It would have to be called Mulesville to be any cooler!

Anyway, Bent Barrow Farm used to have the upper hand over Saddle for one particular reason—the pets. We keep a very pet-centric residence! FarmWife and I have four goats, two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and seven chickens between us. FarmWife's oldest human filly loves pets, and she did tend to get a little lonesome for four-legged companionship in her Saddle home. 

Well, here's a news flash—this filly's Saddle dad recently got her THIS: 

If you're having any trouble seeing the picture, I'll tell you what it is: it's a big smooshy squashy puppy! Sure, it's no mule, but this is one seriously cool addition to the urban life. Filly is utterly and completely STOKED, as you can imagine. Filly's dad is pretty pleased, too, though he had hoped for a black puppy from the litter. Dad's new car features charcoal-colored upholstery, you see, and that is the only way in which this is a white hair story. I hope you found it to be a good story anyway. 
Ears, 
Fenway Bartholomule

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...
