corner of doom is no longer
now.. all that is left.. is the little area around flame’s trunk.. and flame’s trunk itself.. I’m thinking tomorrow afternoon i can do that.. gonna go see flame in the am, then i’m thinking of going with todd shopping around noon, then off to the barn again in the afternoon with my dad and shopping for scott and michelle’s wedding…
just waiting now.. to head to the bowling alley.. i’m hoping lorie will show up.. i’ve been trying to call her all day.. with no answer.. i spent the afternoon with todd. it will be good to see everyone up there and surprise them..
i rode flame yesterday.. we had a much better day than saturday.. i have been just lunging him and that.. well yesterday i lunged him for about 20 minutes in just the bridle.. and fussed over him greatly when he was good.. then after that i took him out of the arena, and just ground tied him(dropping the rope to the ground), and thought well.. if he gets antsy he gets antsy.. and i tossed the saddle pad up on him.. then the saddle.. tightened the girth.. and he never moved.. cept to stomp his toes a few times to get the flies off. i was mega impressed.. i rode for about 45 minutes.. and he was just amazing. no arguments, no not doing what i asked and all that.. he was really good…
my dad’s dog is so sweet.. she comes in and sits next to me at the computer and just rests her head on my thigh while i sit here.. i’ve missed having a dog about.. walking is more fun, when you’re just sitting being quiet.. having them just lean into you while you read… it warms the heart.
