A bit of a mammoth update from me too ......
So i`m now working, *yay*, but sadly my little dog who i`ve had for 3 years didn`t like being left alone. She was barking non stop, all the time i was out, and my neighbours started to complain
Even though every selfish bone in my body wanted to keep her, i knew it wasn`t fair. So when my old YO asked if she could have her, i couldn`t turn her down. My old YO has my little dogs brother (litter mates) and has acres of land and is around in the day, and even if she`s not, they can bark as much as they like as they live in the middle on no where.
Luckily for me it`s only the next field away from my yard where i keep my 2, so i get to see her everyday too, and old YO has said i can call and cuddle her and borrow her for the day any time i like ... so that has worked out well (still miss her dreadfully though, but i`m happy she`s happy)
Then i kind of got a new horse too ............. It`s an enormously long story, but needless to say the poor lass letting him go was in a really crap position, and i love the bones of this horse and his owner was having to let him go due to many different things and she couldn`t bear to let him go heaven knows where via a dealer the following day. So ... i bought him !!!!! lol !!! I`ve ridden him before, more precisely i`ve galloped him down the beach, i know he`s a saint bless him.
It wasn`t planned, but i saw her desperately upset post on facebook on saturday morning and by sunday tea time he was in my field, and they were helping him settle in :biggrin:
We have a wee caravan now and stayed down at the field, i just wanted to make sure he settled in ok.
Us in our PJ`s first thing on Sunday morning, it was throwing it down with rain, but i didn`t care lol ...
My wake up call was him whinnying to us, i sat bolt up right looked out of the window and came face to face with him .. bless him lol, he was a bit soggy so a gave him a good dry off with a towel and put a lightweight waterproof on him, and gave him a haynet, he settled down and got stuck in straight away:
He`s a good lad and like another shadow :biggrin:
I was a bit apprehensive about having 3, but as fate would have it a good friend rang me to ask if i happened to know anyone with a driving pony, that would also be suitable for their little girl to ride ... lol I mentioned what had just happened taking the new lad on, and they asked if they could have Dixie Doodles on loan ... So i agreed. She has fitted in with them like she`s always lived there, and again, i can pop and see her anytime ... it`s only a trial to start with, but their daughter is smitten already. It couldn`t have worked out any better had it actually been planned if that makes sense, as it was it all came out of the blue but has worked out well.
Anyhow ... to begin with Coby was a complete and utter mess :unsure: bless him, he`s a bit special and doesn`t do change, he was charging round snorting and downright rude, it was a bit of a shock to see him like it, and i`ve never seen him like that in 2 years of having him ... but by day 2 he`d come round to it all .. and decided his new buddy wasn`t so bad after all:
By Tuesday things were settled and chilled and back to normality:
Here`s the pics from 2009 when i first met him ... these pics were taken by Gillydaydream, she`s rather talented with a camera :wink:
Love this one .... This is his lovely mum, him and me having a paddle.
So ... ummmm .... it`s been a busy couple of weeks !!! lololol !!!!
