Yet another animal neglect thread. Ugh. Our neighbors down the road have a long history of animal neglect. I'll spare you the details, suffice to say we've seen a lot of calves die, small animals, and the horses......(I intervened with the last horse and the county got involved. It was a very smart ...

Koolkat

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. And Quelah, that's a good nugget of advise.... Someone got a horse rescue to come look at the horse. Apparently they had a good county connection and took it away..... Someone said it might only be temporary, so the story is not over yet. I'm hoping the owner wi...

Well, this horse is going to have a happy holiday season. She's been "rescued"!

Koolkat

I appreciate that this could be a "delicate" topic, but here is the story: On our community FB page, a thread popped up yesterday with a picture of a horse in a ~30x20 wire enclosure. There was no shelter, although the horse was wearing a blanket. This is the Seattle area and it's rainy se...

An interesting paper, regardless of how it plays out. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586- ... r8s35mqcfA

Yum, tis the season for that amazing Creme Brulee French Toast recipe (angfreda) and a Cranberry Baked French Toast (use the cranberry topping) recipe. They've sorta hybridized and morphed over the years, chopped pecans and a few raisins have been added. I don't know who the 2nd recipe belongs to, I...

Robyn - You set Kirby free from his body which had taken away his quality of life. You did the right thing, even knowing it would cause you great pain. Wishing you well, may the memories soon bring you only joy. KK

Well, for ~48 hours I thought we'd found a way forward. Tell me it's going to be alright.

DH was smart and has curled up under the covers in the dark. Perhaps to sleep. . . .

Unfortunately, I stayed up late enough to watch DJT's announcement from the East Room......

Beautiful cat with a wonderful name! Well done!

We catch awkward moments in nature now and again. That's not the first elk that hasn't quite cleared the jump, but they always seem to do alright. In general, we leave the gate open on that side of the pasture (no horses up there), they chose to jump for whatever reason. On the other side of the pas...

SnowHorse - You're watering hole is quite the hit! Nice footage. Are all your coyotes as reddish as the young one? Ours are decidedly gray.

Just a couple of pics I thought you might enjoy, a slice of life!

Then those who voted for 44 owes many apologies. And even more who voted for 42. 44 who started the caged children and allowed the next guy to take the fall for the program. This is patently false. Obama did NOT "cage" children (and then blame it on 45). Child separation was NOT a policy ...

Just want to join the line of concerned well wishers. I went through a divorce ~45 years ago (it was practically a child marriage - 19 yo, LOL). Although I initiated it, it was not without "provocation" and even then, it was very hard to disentangle our 2 lives. You have my sympathies. A c...

The post is gone that I was responding to. . . but I'm going to clarify a point anyway. Obama did NOT "cage" children (and then blame it on 45). Child separation was not a policy in the Obama administration as it was with Trump (thank you Steve Miller). There was a huge surge in unaccompan...

I live in a rural area outside of Seattle. The militia types (including Proud Boys) are all out on the community FB page tonight, flying their flag with the Stars and Stripes. Unbelievable......at least until now.

A pandemic like this has been predicted. In fact, there were high level "war games" vis a vis pandemics in Oct (if I remember month correctly) of 2019. And of course, as widely reported, there was a high level pandemic task force in WA DC. I do not hold Trump responsible for the pandemic,...

Thanks for this Rockabilly, I'll be very interested to hear how it goes. Coincidentally, DH and I were discussing our deteriorating eye sight this morning. I have a cataract smack dab in the middle of the right eye, I've known about it for ~10 years. Doctors want it to be more "obstructive"...

What a sweet, kind eye he has! He looks very happy under saddle, too. Have fun in your journey together!

I assume you mean accent - interesting you should hear that (it is Australian), I've never heard that from anyone, nor do I hear it. Regardless, true story. . . and information about how to vote, it's not just satirical fluff.

Hello Snowhorse - We do have the video option, and use it now again, but DH prefers the photos. I'm a bit of the same mode, although I think your videos are remarkable, you capture their day to day much better. I can tell you though, DH's screensaver montage is awesome! I know what you mean about th...

This is a great book The Riding Doctor Beth Glosten, MD After leaving horses behind for many years to pursue her medical career, Dr. Beth Glosten decided it was time to ride again only to discover that, as a middle-aged woman, she struggled with tension, awkwardness, and an aching back. Dr. Glosten...

Heddy - I'm with you on this. I'm done arguing/debating, and am looking to find a way to "actionalize" my beliefs/hopes for our society. Hopefully, it is a more productive way to use the time/energy. The arguing/debating (for me at least) creates negative energy, the other I suspect, will ...

Not new (apparently it came out 3 yrs ago... jeez time flies)-- but for a feel-good no-drama horse movie, I loved Down The Fence: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6277748/ Tuffytown has a connection to this ^ one! The Rider is a terrific movie too, with a family of "non actors" doing an amazi...

Great owl footage, SnowHorse, they are such cool birds. In the early years here, we had great horned owls and barn owls, but neither have been around for the last 10 years or so. The barred owls may be crowding them out or too much development/clearing pastureland. Ditto the tiny western screech owl...

Hello Rockabilly - I just wanted to let you know that the post I saw yesterday was a reminder all day of the power of forgiveness to bring us inner peace and make the world a better place.

Congratulations!

Glad to hear that. I've been hearing about a big fire around Mt. Lemmon (Bighorn Fire) and wondered if anyone here was threatened by it.

I would talk to the neighbors and say to them something like, "you probably didn't know this but that storage shed you put up is not allowed by the HOA. I wanted to let you know before the HOA gets any complaints." Something like that. Make it that you are doing it for THEM not for you. A...

I have to admit, not surprised by this outcome. This would require her to take some sort of action in a bit of a vacuum (if that makes sense). I appreciate your feelings in this regard as to contact, but IMO, the most likely way to get the coat back would be one which requires little/zero effort fro...

You may consider this arcane, but the pure pursuit of knowledge for it's own sake (or for the sake of understanding history, which would be important if we would bother to learn from it's lessons,) rather than every form of education having to be vocational, doesn't seem so wrong to me.
