When I was in California and we went to the river, a girl brought her dog, and the dog was standing in the river trying to bite the sunlight reflections in the water! He did this for hours! Dogs are so goofy.

What a shock that must have been. That so rarely happens in surgery these days, but it does happen. *sigh* So sad. I'm happy to hear that she gave another wonderful horse a loving home though...gave him a chance at a good life. Hardy Creek is someplace I've always wanted to try and never have. It's about an hour and a half from her, +/- ...someday. Yes, we're enjoying our summer, but I'm not enjoying the excessive heat - can't take it anymore. Take care!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-90944595538781189712014-08-21T15:43:35.131-07:002014-08-21T15:43:35.131-07:00Awww...she's a cutie!

My bones ache more and more every year. ;) I haven't been riding much this summer...my girlfriend who had the horse that I rode (Ari..the Appaloosa) lost him in surgery. :(( He was going in for his eyes. *sigh* It was unexpected but I drove down with her to Washington to rescue a beautiful Azteca from slaughter and Merlin has turned our to be a great trail horse. Still not Ari and I need to get over that. Hope you're enjoying the summer despite the hot weather. I will get back up on Merlin in a couple of weeks! We love riding at Hardy Creek.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072573764510139884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-56812162502717419852014-08-21T09:15:02.815-07:002014-08-21T09:15:02.815-07:00We always have something new to learn right? So, ...We always have something new to learn right? So, interesting that "those in the know" say that periwinkles are snails...they're actually more like an underwater insect of sorts. They have legs, antennae and live inside sand/gravel-turned into shells. They move along the creek bottom and hang onto the rocks. When we were kids, we used to peel their shells away and dad would use them for fish bait on his hook. :)C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-4084412392671950932014-08-21T05:51:22.259-07:002014-08-21T05:51:22.259-07:00Sounds like Ruby had her own fun celebrating her b...Sounds like Ruby had her own fun celebrating her birthday at the beach. I had to look up periwinkles, last I knew it was a plant that flowered blue. Made me wonder why a dog would bark at a plant, apparently it is also a snail. I learned something new today! Funny that she barks at something that moves so slow. Life wouldn't be the same without animals, they are so special in so many ways.aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.com
