Aww, my horses

Well since i dont have any human kids yet to post pictures of i will post pictures of my other kids.
These were taken this Sunday after the horses had their bellies full and we napping in the sun.


This one, if it shows up, is showing Ruby and Entree hanging out. Aww, how sweet:)

This is my favorite pic of me and Friday.

This is Boston our 3 year old.

This is Friday and Boston. They love each other

I just had to post those!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Well Happy Halloween everyone!!! You see....I have been waiting to post halloween party pictures for halloween day so it would be more appropriate...no not really. I just kept getting too busy. Anyway, i am dedicating my lunch hour today to by blog. Lots of catching up to do!

We had a small halloween party on Saturday at our house. Of course costumes were manditory and everyone actually dressed up! Me and Travis found the perfect costumes for eachother. He was a bull rider and i was a horsey rider!!!! How perfect are those? We found these for 1/2 price at K-Mart and had to get them. They were quite a hit.

Josh was Jim Trussel (the coach of the Ohio State Football Team) of course they had to explain that one to me, being the huge football fan i am.....not. And Jackie was a scarecrow. She was really cute.

This is Bub and Barb, Travis's parents. Barb was a little devil of some sort and Bub had a really creepy mask on with an afro. I made him take it off because it was pretty disturbing.

This is Eric and Ashley our friends. Eric was a blind referee and Ashley was a cat. Eric was funny because he kept randomly blowing his whistle and throwing his flag down in random spot. I guess he was a ref for the Cleveland Browns.

Doug and Sandy - other friends, Ashleys parents - were dead steve erwin and a hobo. Doug was cool because he had a big sting ray on the front of his shirt and a big blood stain over his heart and then he had little crocodiles hanging off of his clothes everywhere. I'll have to see if i have a better picture of him, i think i do.

So that was who came. We all went to see Travis' cousin, Eric, play at the bar. He has a really good band. But about an hour into it there Travis fell and threw out his knee. Oh Geez. so we had to go home. It was still fun though. All of you at home missed a good night!!

Halloween Pics vs. Dead Camera

Well I know some of you are anxoiusly awaiting pictures of our halloween costumes and i was going to post them today....BUT i plugged in my camera to dowload pictures and the battery is dead. So tonight it'll get charged up and tomorrow I SHALL POST!!!!

New Post

Attention! There is a new post on my site and for some reason it showed up under the one named "Slacking" or something like that. SO if you are interested in reading my new post just scrolly-scroll-scroll down the page and read away! It is about the horses. :)

Slacking

Ok. I have only had this blog for about a week and i'm already not writing. This week has been really busy though. I promise to try to write tomorrow. THe thing is i dont have internet at my house so the only place i get online is on my lunch break at work and this week has been a little crazy at work because one of our managers died of a heart attack. He actually died in the work out room in the office. I never work out there, but i dont know it i ever will now. Its actually a pretty cool place. We have all sorts of weights and dumbells and treadmills and stairmasters and even 2 sana's/steam rooms (how do you spell sonna?) and they had a hot tub but they just recently took it out. Anyway before i got distracted about the spa i was saying our managers viewing is tonight and Travis is going with me and i had to wash a shirt (He has ZERO dress clothes by the way) and i had to dry it on my lunch break so i purposly left my lunch at home today so that i wouldnt forget to go home and put his shirt in the dryer. I just not got back and dont have time to write about anything cool or funny or post cute pictures of my dogs. Hopefully tomorrow i will be able to post something worth reading.

Which horse????

Travis says we need to get rid of a horse. There are only 2 of us and we have 3 horses, plus horse are expensive in the winter time. I am having the hardest time deciding which horse!!

Friday is not an option.

The two up for grabs are Ruby or Boston.

1 Ruby. 7 or 8 year old Quarter Horse. Beautiful sorrel with really good conformation and good feet.. She got trained at Hocking College for a year and is a wonderful ride. Her only problem is that she is mean. Once she is caught she is fine but in the field she lets her teeth (biting) and feet (kicking) get the best of her. She is gettting better though. The more we work with her the better she gets.

2. Boston. 3 year old registered Paint/Arab. Registered name in Ladys Dun Streakin. She is
b-e-a-utiful! She has an AWESOME temperament. She is the perfect size and has great feet. She is easy to catch with very good manners. She was also kind of a wedding gift from me dear friend Deneene. THe only con against her is that she is not trained to ride and Travis thinks we dont have enough time to train her, which we are busy during the week but there are weekends and now we have a trailer so we can take her down to Beaver Creek and ride her on the trails until she's good.

So, should i get rid of Boston who is wonderful to be around but i can't ride? or Ruby, who is mean but i CAN ride?. I cant decide at all. This is like the hardest decision i've made in forever. Now, i think i might be leaning toward Ruby because we would like to start a family sometime and she wouldnt be very safe around kids. Travis thinks we can get her to quit being mean, but she's been like that since i've known her and even after she was trained for a year she's still mean in the pasture. However she is improving...slowly. So i guess it comes down to both horses need worked with. Which one is worth working with and which one should we sell to someone else to work with. I CANT DECIDE!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!

Give me your opinions PLEASE!

Hanker Spanks

Little Hanker Spanks (yet another nick name) got his first bath! He keeps going outside and rolling in cat/dog/horse/cow poop. We arent sure which creature it is from but it is definitely poop and it definitely stinks. If he doesnt stop rolling in it he's going to spend the rest of his fuzzy little life in the bath tub. No, not really. I will still let him sleep in the bed with us. Oh! By the way, he is a cuddler!! When I'm sleeping he gets under the cover and cuddles up next to me. I'm so happy to have a dog that sleeps with me. Red sleeps on the bed sometimes but she never sleeps under the covers and she never curls up with me. She just lays there in the middle of the night on top of the cover by our feet like a 500000 pound weight, making it impossible to pull te covers. If she's not on top of the covers she is on top of my pillow above me head laying on my hair so when i go to roll over i wake up to intense pain coming form my head. Thanks Red.

I'm coming home this weekend!!! Travis is coming too! I convinced him that the animals will all be OK for one night. This is the last chance until next spring that he will be able to leave overnight with me. Oh to have a farm...no weekend getaways, no vacation...we need an animal babysitter.

Meet The Family

Time you all meet the family!!!

First up is Entree our calf. (a.k.a. A** Hole, D**k Head - those are Travis names for him when he gets out of the fence. Actually they arem uch worse, but i wrote write those ones. He is only a few months old. Aww, cute. You see we are going to eat him when he's big and beefy so i wasnt allowed to get attached to him..but i HAD to name the cute little feller!!!! Therefore, his name is Entree - the main course of the meal he will provide me in the coming year. Yum yum.





Next are my babies!! If you look at every other horse (starting at either end) Those are ours. The other two are my neighbors. Starting from the left we have Ruby (a.k.a. spawn of satan), Friday (a.k.a. the best horse in the world) and Boston (a.k.a. pretty paint, but ofcourse you can't see her spots) The other two - the one with the white but and the one right after Friday - are Jasper (a.k.a. big fat retard) and Tae (a.k.a. big momma.)

Now for Red. (a.k.a. Reddy Redskertons, Redsterdoodles, Redster, Reddy McRedster or whatever comes out) She's so happy in this picture, she's smiling!! She is our 3 or 4 year old Red Heeler

This is Reds puppy, Hank. (a.k.a. Hank the Tank, Hanky Panky, Hankster) He's quite a handful. Oy. Probably just like his sister you all know as June (Mom and Dads puppy) He is the only one of our animals besides the horses that has a real name. He is named Hank from the scene in Men in Black where he's introducing the aliens in the coffee room and he says "This is Dewane and Hank" Travis likes that scene so thats how Hank got name Hank.

Aww, Coon Dog! (a.k.a. Coonster, Coonster Puppy, Retard) This is our coon dog that we named Coon Dog. Origional i know. We tried to name him something cool like Roscoe or Gus, but i wasnt living up here then whenTravis got him and he kept calling him Coon Dog. Coon Dog stuck and its what he comes to. We have tried to change it since them but to no avail. Coon Dog it is. Travis origionally got him to hunt with and i wasnt supposed to be as attached to him as i am. BUT i have successfully turned him into our pet! Yippee!! He's way more happy as our pet that he would have been a hunter anyway! Theres still hope for him to be a hunter. Why cant he be a pet and a coon dog? Hmm? I say he can.

Last but not least it my hubby, Travis:) Here he is filling the water trough for the horses. That is our neighbor Ron's house in the background.

Well, thats about everyone. Except for all 3 fish we have in our pond. I didnt realize we had so many nick-names for our animals. I hope you enjoyed your introduction to the family! I gotta get back to work now!!! I didn eat lunch today. I had full intensions of eating, but i forgot it by the back door as i left this morning. Oops. I will survive.

Work

I'm working right now. Well, I'm on my one hour lunch break. I was going to post pictures of our family (i.e. travis and all of our animals) but the blogger site is having a problem. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. I'm going to try to write in this as often as i can. If i don't have a post i probaly worke during my lunch break or didnt do anything exciting to write about. Kind of like right now.

Camping

We went camping this past weekend at Beaver Creek State Park. That's where we always go. Travis and I stayed in a tent and FROZE!!!! Well, I froze and because he is a walking heater he thought it felt great. It was so cold that when we woke up in the morning our cars were covered with ice. ICE! And I slept OUTSIDE!!!!! Brrr. The next night I was prepared and I had so many blankets on top of us we couldnt even move. It felt like there was a person laying on us all night, but I was so warm:) I slept great! Hank also camped with us with his first overnight camping trip. He loved it. Here is a video I'm going to try to post. Its pretty shaky but keep in mind it was like minus 100 degrees outside and I was shivering.

In that video you saw Travis, of course, then thats Hank the tank in the background (our puppie..June's brother) then Josh & Jackie (my brother and sister in law) and Barb and Bub (my mother and father in law)

I have to go back to work now my lunch break is over:)
