So I’ve spent the past few days freezing my butt off.. It’s been getting SO cold here at night and doesn’t really warm up till late afternoon. I got to surprise Nikki last night.. I didn’t have her new cellphone number, but she amazingly just happened to pop online last night, so I asked her what she was doing that night.. she said she was going to her mom’s and I asked her if she wanted to get a cup of coffee and hang out. She was a bit confused*L* So I went over there and spent the eve with her, her boyfriend and all her family. She has a new puppy, Bailey. He’s a little Rottie.. and soooooooo totally cute.
We’re heading to 12 Oaks today to check out the one dress boutique. I really hope they have the dress I want there in at least my size if not my size and colour. If they don’t have the exact dress, I can have them order the colour I want. Well the only colour they offer that fits in Sarah’s wedding colour scheme*L* Which is a light blue. They may also have something something like it there as well. I doubt all that is offered on the site is all that they have.. Who knows.
I was gonna see Flame this am, but I didn’t get in till late from Nikki’s because we had to go out driving to look for her dumbdog*L* After the 3rd time around the same roads, I asked her if she looked in the backyard in the dog run, maybe she put herself away.. So we get there and low and behold, Shylock is sitting in the run looking at us like you idiots where did you think I was? So 630am came REALLY early today. I will go this afternoon to check on Flame.
I think I’m going to start working him on ground tying. Ground tying is basically dropping the lead on the ground.. and he is to stand completely still like he’s tied to a post or something. He’s just not doing well tied to the hooks in the barn. I have no idea what sets him off but he just gets all goofyretarded and flips out when he’s tied there. So ground tying we shall try. This week is going to be spent just doing that, lunging and practicing his manners. He has a lot to brush up on before next month :\
I was nearly in tears Friday night though, when I got into the barn. I walked in, and did his special whistle, and I saw him snap his head up and he let out a really deep rumbly whinny to me. While in his stall, he was just rubbing his head on my torso and leaning into me, while snufflewhickering… My heart nearly broke. I didn’t really think about how much I missed him.. till I was there, and could give him a hug. I did a quick ride Saturday afternoon after lunging him and it felt like all was right in the world again.
