Prayer for Suggles & Gilbert

Hello everyone.

I need as many people as I can get to pray for Snuggles, Leah's guinea pig. I found a big inflamed, hairless spot on his side this morning ad it freaked the daylights out of me. We are gonna do everything we can to get him and Gilbert to the vet before Monday. We also need prayer that we will be able to pay the $80 + for them. They are very expensive to take to the vet because they are considered exotic pets.

Please pray and leave comments!

Rainy, Cozy, and Free to Finish What I Have Started...

Monday I went to work. Mucked, groomed, lunged, led, talked, and watched Karen worm WiFi. They put a banana-smelling white paste in a tube that looks like a shot but without the needle. Then they check to make sure that there is no hay in the horses mouth. Next, they stick the tube into the corner of their mouth where the gab between their teeth are. They then push all the paste in and then hold the horses head up so that they cannot lower their head and spit it all out. Cool but disgusting.

Then I rode and was still off of the lunge line for the last week. I'm gonna try my hand and cantering....(!!!!) I know it sounds stupid but I'm deathly scared because I never got that far in any riding lessons. I cantered once, but only for a few paces and on accident. Mrs.Love says that I think too much about it so then I get nervous and do something wrong. Which, dare I say it, is true.

Anyway, today is supposed to rain all day long. That is good and bad for a number of reasons.

#1 The pigs need their cage cleaned but I can't do it in the rain.
#2 I have to wash a breeches, jeans and such but I'll have to hang it all inside.
#3 I LOVE to write in the rain and it is so cozy!
#4 I'm home all day with the rain and can do anythingthat I want to without having to worry about going anywhere! Woohoo!

Those two first ones are bad and the last two are good. Now I need to scoot. The dogs, pigs, and laundry are waiting to get done and my characters are complaining because most don't actually exist yet and apparently I'm taking too long getting them there! *lol*

Prayer request...

Hey everyone. I work tomorrow and need your prayer. I'm kinda nervous because I need to talk to someone about something but I don't know how it will come across. I'd like it if you could just pray that I'll speak the right words without looking like a goody-to-shoes. Thanks, guys!

Today At Work...

Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been drowned in work and not allot of you have been part of the blogging world....Facebook has taken over most of you.

I went to work today - actually I'm still in my riding stuff and desperately need to get into the shower. I've been on the lunge line since I started - about two months ago. Three weeks ago, Mrs.Love started to take me off the lunge line at the very end for a little bit. Then today she let me off for the whole lesson because she thought I was ready. It was very exciting. Mostly what we did was trot work, two point, thigh stretches, and all that fun stuff. I had so much fun because I was totally in control of Whitney - the Hanoverian mare I ride. Mrs.Love says that I have improved allot, and I actually feel like it! Whitney is very smooth and likes to share her slobber with you after the ride! *lol*

Later, we took the stallions (Rondez and Relly) out into the indoor and free lunged them, then put some tack on 'em and put them on the lunge line as well. Neither are broken in yet, so Mrs.Love will have someone come in and do that. They are doing pretty well, though with the tack and Rondez has already had someone on his back twice, but not while moving. Relly is a pistol of a stallion, though. he has not had anyone on him....yet.

Well, I need to go. Dinner, the shower, and an attempt to get daddy to let mom and I out for a blizzard are waiting!
