Agreed with others. Very difficult to make a decision without other information. The trimmer may realize this is not great right now but only wants to take enough off to promote healthy growth without making the horse lame. What I see is that there are past issues that will take time to repair. The ...

She is lovely to look at! And the size does look great with you.

I like the lawyer type of shows - Suits, The Good Wife and now I'm catching up with Damages (just started it). Before that was Downton Abbey (so sad that one is gone!) and Vikings.

I'm a huge fan of HP Officejets. Currently I have the 8620. I find the HPs work extremely reliably and are very easy to use the different functions (fax, scanning - including batch feed, copy, printing etc). I really love the Officejet tool. My husband has gotten numerous Canons over the years and w...

It is really good to know this before the gelding. Let the attending vet know because some of these horses react very harshly to drugs. A neighbor had a horse that was PSSM and when he had to be sedated, he'd have seizures. Otherwise, with the right diet that horse did really well in the shows etc. ...

I've been through this twice with the same company and both times it has been a great thing! We got more benefits, the culture became better, the overall atmosphere became better. We did become a publicly traded corp the last time so we are now under the gun to always produce more but they are givin...

I agree about the mobile home. Not sure about your area, but our area has camp hosts at the parks. Perhaps she can apply to do something like that? It would allow free place to stay while she gets herself together. But even if she couldn't stay free there, it might be cheaper to rent a place there t...

I so love reading these stories. I too have a great horse in Izzy. She turned 21 this year and is still strong. I don't ride much these days with work etc but when I do she's still exactly the same easy girl. This was the mare that at six, I was thinking of putting down. She'd started coming up lame...

What were your "duties" as a volunteer? Did it involve the horses? If not, perhaps this is the issue. Their insurance may not cover you handling the horses? This could be a liability if you were doing something you weren't asked to do or in your job title and this person didn't know a prop...

My suggestion for what you've drawn. The outside door on the lower left - put it in the middle where you have one of the windows instead. The reason is that you have GREAT wall space against the tack/feed area if you ever changed your mind and decided to close that section off. You could easily have...

Interesting that I've found research about white line and insulin resistance. She is only 2 yrs old and her labs show that she is in a high normal range for insulin resistance.... I'd suggest getting with a nutritionist then. If this is showing up at 2, I'd be wondering about mineral content in pas...

EP, I thought same thing initially for the mount, however, I kind of also think people mounting with shorter stirrups do mount that way a bit more. It is easier to settle quietly when your legs are draped a bit more on the horse IMO. But notice she allowed the reins to be loose entire time so I take...

No, Great Bear Inn is about 10 minutes to west entrance so not in Glacier. I've heard it was crazy busy so we plan on getting out there really early. Since we'll be going back two or three hours, we should be able to get up and about a little earlier than others (we hope!!). Looking so forward to th...

We are staying at Great Bear Inn. We are going during the wrong time of the year apparently. The National Park service said they are 98% of capacity but if I'd go a week later, it would only be 50%. Well...my daughter goes back to college the next week and wouldn't be able to take care of the dogs s...

We are leaving to go to Glacier on Sunday. I'm so excited, especially after seeing your pictures!

angela9823

LOL Chisamba :) Angela, think of it as refreshing! That's what I do when I see snow pics here in our summer (or try to). I tried to see it that way. It is getting difficult. We are expected to have six more days of these 100 degree temps. It is getting unbearable. Thank goodness I will soon be head...

After suffering through three days of 100 degree temps, this was just cruel to see this.

Can you post pictures including of when the vet is resecting? Is he leaving ANY black or shedding white stuff? Have you tried packing with tea tree oil? SOME horses react to this in their hoof wall but I've found those that don't get rid of these issues really quick. But I have now seen two horses t...

Wiring money is cheap and quick. I'd take cash but not a personal check.

:o Is it legal to keep wolves??? I would be so scared.... Unfortunately for us, yes. With a license a person can own them and breed them. My neighbor was in a group that bred them for working dogs (sled pulling etc) and then decided these animals should not be owned. So he's letting the breeding an...

Our libraries have job training as well. People are taught how to interview for jobs, how to find jobs etc. Libraries are also including single offices so people that work from home can have a place to go that is professional to meet with their clients, hold conferences etc. A lot of start up lawyer...

I've discussed my neighbor many times. He has 4 full blooded wolves and 8 crosses. He uses a BM to keep them in check (many people that raise wolf crosses use them for that reason)! BMs are one of those dogs that I couldn't be paid to take on. They are great dogs, but they seem to be a mix of a lot ...

Another to consider - Lovatt and Ricketts. My friend tried Duette and we all found it hard as a rock BUT worth the price. She then found the L&R and like riding on a couch! Super soft, easy for the saddle fitter to adjust and is good for wider horses. Price range is good too.

After having been through many major remodels of an 80-90 year old home, I can see potential in this one. It is different. But if you get a nice piece of property with it, different is okay! Imagine looking back on it one day and seeing the difference. I'll have to one day post my before and after p...

This is such a tough one. As a mother, I completely understand how quickly children disappear even right in front of your eyes. I saw another zoologist's report on this about how a 400lb male gorilla is stronger than 10 human beings. I also saw the video of the gorilla dragging the child through the...

Mine is actually organized. But I have a drawer that opens and has three separate sliding compartments. Frozen veggies on top and in middle section. Icecream in the ice drawer (has automatic ice maker), meat on bottom. The big drawer has three different sections so it makes it easy to organize the m...

Don't wait when cats are vomiting. Any chance you recently put a flea substance on the cat? Vomiting can be a first sign to kidney failure. Going off food is a second. Drinking lots of water too. They will still often times run around and play and stay active. My cat did. He's still super friendly a...

Lovely dog, PR! I am also in the band of no ear cropping. I had a Dobby - same coloring - that I got as a year old pup with one ear up and one ear down. I wanted the vet to "fix" the dog and fix that ear not standing up. My vet got pretty vicious about how these dogs are not made to have e...

Very timely. We've just added 2100 square feet to our home - this is including a four car heated garage though. The whole upstairs is a master suite. I hate tubs!! So we are doing a very sizeable shower with three shower heads and a seat. But I have built it with resell in mind. We have two other ba...

I haven't balanced my checkbook in years. However, there are only three things that come out of my account on a regular basis - car payments and pay the credit card off every time I get paid. That is it. I use my credit card for everything and never use the debit card or checks. I don't want anyone ...

I recently read a great book about a paraplegic person - fiction before anyone asks. The author did a fabulous job in making the reader fall in love with the character. In about the middle of the book, the reader finds out that the person wanted to end his life. He had a great caregiver whom devoted...

This is not a changed person. He is not 'taking responsibility' for his previous actions. He may have stopped drinking and feels better but, saying he couldn't control his temper while drinking does not justify sending a co-worker naked pics of himself and he lost his job and still, felt compelled ...

My mother is the woman you are discussing. She has been dating a guy since my dad passed in 1999 that none of us care for. He was not allowed to see his kids for many years and then wasn't able to hold down a job for the first years they were dating. Then he quit trying. I didn't like his vocabulary...

If you go, be forewarned about the tips: two days out from the end you start getting coached about tips and everybody wants one, and they all want 20%. It adds hundreds of dollars to the total cost. Could be the cruises I've been on - Holland America, Carnival and Royal Caribbean- but we were told ...

I've cruised five times. The majority were to the Caribbeans but by far the best was Alaska. We got a balcony room and I'm so glad I did. While "out to sea", I'd sit on the balcony with a good book watching the lovely views go by. They also had a great exercise area (very large and was inc...

Here is another video of her under saddle that shows some canter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSSj5OhhtyU I actually like her even better under saddle. She's cute. The canter will be a work in progress similar to the trot however, it doesn't look horrible like some drafts can be. I like her. She...

A couple of thoughts on this. First, what are the state vet rules? I don't think a township keeper can overrule what the state's vet rules are and I'd argue it if these are yearly shots (which is my second thought). If this is a yearly shot, I'd not want to re administer it that soon especially on a...

Fergusnc, not sure what part of NC you are in, but there is a place called Carolina Fitness Equipment in Charlotte that occasionally has the same mats TSC has for $5 less each. They also OCCASIONALLY have them used for half the price. And by used I mean they were used in gyms so they don't get the s...

Shirrine, like Chisamba, I've revisited this thread many times and just didn't know what to say. You have had more than your fair share of troubles. So glad that this ends with people embracing you in kindness. Hugs to you!

Chance, if you have what has been going around here in SC, there is just nothing that works. I've been trying to get over a cold (or whatever this is) for three weeks. I don't feel bad, but have had a cough the entire time, sore throat off and on, some congestion in my head. I've taken lots of stuff...

So sorry to hear this, Alex. I've enjoyed you telling us about Freida through the years and will miss those stories of your walks.

Wanted to give a small update. Since reading Josette's post and the accompanying link, I decided to order raw from http://www.mypetspride.com. My cat has now been on the raw food ONLY (no dry, no canned) for a week. He has had a DRASTIC improvement in a week and I hope we continue to see this. His s...

I always fed my cat Iams dry food. It was the only one he'd consistently eat and I knew I was taking a gamble. At 13 years old, he was given a diagnosis of diabetes. That was November 2014. I changed his diet drastically to a very high protein canned cat food and Purina Diabetic Management dry food ...

Phoenix, Before watching a recent episode of Fixer Upper, I would have thought that second property you posted had no potential.

What Maple said. And having that big a utility sink is also helpful for washing up dogs that are just too nasty to come into the house (unfortunately, been there done that). I would not put the sink in the area where horses will be washed for worry that they could break cross ties, run into the sink...

Aawwww! What a cute picture of you two.

That is hilarious! I could see how it could happen. You'd never think of yourself as the missing person. Too funny! Bus driver should have called out names or counted people or something.

Owner has done the osphos without looking at the side affects. She was sound the day they started her on it. According to the reports, horses are to be lame when they are started so they can tell a difference by day 54. I don't think we'll have any idea how the mare is doing. They also put her on an...

Something else to consider. If you are looking at fixer uppers, how long will it take before you can afford to fix it up? Don't jump on a house if you don't have the money for things that need to be done NOW (roof etc). It will frustrate you to no end to not get things done. You don't want it to be ...
