Life is good

I promise I wouldn't miss a week of blogging without a good excuse. Here it is—my transcriptionist, FarmWife, has been very busy getting to know 100 new friends! They're the dogs, cats, and bunny of the Humane Society of Skagit Valley. FarmWife is HSSV's new webmaster and publications editor, which means she's going to be responsible for getting each and every one of their beautiful, deserving pets listed online. She hasn't fixed the website up yet, but she HAS gotten the dogs listed on www.Petfinder.com. Cats to follow. If you would like to get to know Sam, Angel, Sophie, Murray, and all the other fabulous lads and lassies that have stolen FarmWife's heart and revitalized her career, just hop on over to www.skagithumane.com and click on "adoptable dogs." I promise you'll love them too.

Ears,

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

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...
