i had 2 cats. when 1 died, the remaining cat became (i thought) very clingy & needy. so i got him a kitten, he was horrified! appalled!
he wasn't telling me he was lonely, he was telling me how happy he was to be the only cat

it took him quite a while to adjust to having a buddy....

i had no water in my house this am --the barn is attatched to the house, so no water there either. the plumber came ON SUNDAY AM BLESS HIS HEART. it was -2F in the barn this morning-- and supposed to be about 50 degrees day after tomorrow

amygdala

my cats balance on 3 legs and bury stuff with the 4th leg-- no sliding

and i bet car wax would work just fine

amygdala

i used butcher's wax --it was what i had. i don't think it matters much what kind

amygdala

waxing the bottom of kitty litter boxes before filling with kitty litter-- THANK YOU!!! it's something i would never have thought of doing,
and it makes scooping so much easier!

amygdala

thank you for thinking of me, fergusnc-- right now i flip between grief, relief, and numb.

and i'm realizing that things could have gone MUCH worse than they did

amygdala

thank you,all of you!!
gristle had 2 owners, and a pretty good life for 33 years, and about 6 hours of acute misery. but there was no question as to whether it was the right time-- i am grateful for that.
and i'm grateful for a competent vet.

thank you all again

amygdala

she coliced yesterday afternoon, euthanised that evening. she was 33 yrs old; been w/me for 19 years.
i can't stop crying

amygdala

wishing you the very best of luck, and hope you're well soon!

amygdala

when asked about some DT non-truth, newt gingrich said it wasn't a lie, it was a 'campaign device'.
thanks for clearing that up for me, newt

amygdala

judging by the people DT is surrounding himself with, what he meant by'drain the swamp'
is hire the alligators!

amygdala

netflix won't stream it --it's just on dvd

amygdala

i loved what LC said re: bob dylan's nobel prize for literature:
"like pinning a medal on everest"

amygdala

i am sad that he's gone. his songs kept me company through a lot of my life.
"like a bird on a wire...."

amygdala

your hair looks great! i'm happy for you!

amygdala

whatever you decide to do, if you don't like it it's easy to re paint, as boots said.
personally, i vote for white

amygdala

kande, i think this is an important insight-- i've found getting off and going first to be quite helpful --not always

but often.
ithink it depends on how the horse perceives the rider-- trusted leader, just-another-rider, someone-who-hurts-me, etc

amygdala

i think mr. stang has found a name!

rosie b, i think everyone who posted said shirrine's riding was better than her trainer's.
that's hardly a personal attack.

and i repeat, this is the training forum. if you post videos here, people are gonna criticize them.

Rosie B wrote:The opportunity to have a respectful conversation about training was a boat that sailed with the very first reply on this thread.

i disagree, rosie b. i read that as a training disagreement.
it was, however, responded to as a personal attack.

amygdala

this is the TRAINING FORUM, ffs-- of course people will disagree as to training methods.
calling another poster 'not nice' or a bitch is uncalled for.

i think this thread has gotten way away from discussion of training-- too bad;
a missed opportunity for a RESPECTFUL exchange of ideas

amygdala

i dunno-- i think being ridden or driven is hard on them-- that's why they have to TRAINED to accept all the stuff we 'ask' of them... on the othe hand, my 2 retired guys seem to miss having a job. so i guess It Depends :mrgreen: saddleseat horses are trained somewhat similarly-- rolled up in front,...

amygdala

in the past, it was assumed that if video was posted in the training forum, comments/criticism was wanted. if not, the video got posted in the observation lounge. imo, the trainer'video was a perfect example of 'how to create a leg-mover' --restrict the horse in front, then use leg/spur to energise ...

amygdala

the shank on the curb bit is horizontal much of the time, which give the impression that the pony is being ridden on the curb, rather than the snaffle. maybe the tack needs some adjustment?

amygdala

i agree w/kande-- pony is btv too much, tho he looked better w/ you than he did w/your trainer
