Mid Week

.


Still raining, getting nervous, I guess having three more shifts to pull has hidden benefits. I'm out of the rain; time passes quickly when one stays busy; get a break from weather worries on the road. Still a lot of preparation needed for the trip, at least Jackie Jo is ready to go. She has been feeding in the horse trailer the last couple of days. Jackie Jo hasn't been in a trailer since she came to the LMA. The really funny part is now she thinks it's her special place, she stomps in and out all night, gets out of the weather, and I suspect she let's Easter and Toby know that she is special. Jackie Jo was having a problem being bored lately so this seemed like a new toy to her, the first night she tore all the padding off the divider and threw it around her pen. Nice. Jackie Jo doesn't know this, but she's going north with me to get Dude. I'm leaving her at the Spruce Tree ranch.(Breeding Purposes).

The weather looks ominous, naturally, it is winter. Still, one has to do what one has to do. The life cycles of horses never seems convenient to humans who still love and enjoy them. I still feel for Jackie Jo, now she won't have to wonder what it must be like, she will have her instincts kindled in the natural way. Still a Hobbit must remember " you never know when you leave the Shire", keep that in mind.


Can't wait to see Dude, the reports have been scarce, but good for a three year old Stallion. We'll see. The trip both ways will be hard I am sure, I have traveled this route many times good weather and bad. Just use your experience and things work out fine, no rush no worry. It's just the anxiety for the horses, I am responsible for them too. I don't mind going, I just hate leaving, life is good here on the ranch. This is really exciting for me that's why I'm nervous.


.Usually I concentrate on the humor around here, but this is big stuff. See you all soon.---------------------------------Mikey
