Cat-n-Kittens

I found some photos I took of Haze (formerly Hazel but since SHE turned out to be a HE the name has changed).

We started 5 Kittens, one died for no apparent reason, one got stepped on by a horse, another passed perhaps because Haze play’s kind of hard, and two decided to try and swim in the horse’s watering trough.

In any event, they were barn cats, and as Dave at work says, barn cats have a life expectancy of next to nothing, especially when they are kittens.

Haze is still hanging around though.

Well we’ve finally done it.

We have 2 horses now.

We picked up Blaze who’s name will change though, today in Indiana. He’s a 15ish year old Missouri Fox Trotter just like Cisco.

He’s sound and healthy. We brought him home and turned him loose. Cisco was very happy to have a pal to share his new digs with. They did what horses do and felt each other out. It looks like Cisco will remain the top dog or horse for now but Blaze is a very nosey, curious horse.

We had to make a few modifications to the barn. we put up additional railing and a 6 foot gate so that both can come and go as they please in and out of the their stalls and into the dry lot.

Day one went very well. He seems eager to learn and already got a little upset when I took Cisco away from him for a short ride when Claudine was working with him.

Things will be a little more exciting with him around.

Mackinsey comes to visit

This weekend my daughter (Linda) brought my granddaughter Mackinsey up for a visit.

We hung out for a while, then went to Maria’s soccer game. A good time was had by all especially Mackinsey. It’s clear that I’m her favorite and she proved it by spitting up on me.

Like I said in the soccer post it was HOT… Hella hot.
