Howdy from Recovery Land

I’m feeling better about some things and I know Vlassic is!

Suna loves me

We had a good night last night. He slept straight through the night next to me on the couch in the future in-law suite. It’s a comfy couch that makes a bed.

Happy little doggie

I did okay. There is apparently something living in a box that makes occasional noise, so I kept hearing it. I wish Vlassic were more of a vermin eliminator. He’s great at eating grasshoppers!

I’m glad I did this, though. He can run again today and isn’t shivery. He’s recovering.

It’s all about ME

But I made it through work just fine and even got out to ride Apache. It isn’t as hot as it was, so we both did fine.

I guess I have to get to work since I’m wearing all this tack.

We did well. He even came when I called! We practiced all our homework and even did leg yield. But best of all, we made it down the paddock and back with no meltdowns. I did it!! So did he, of course.

We’re a team. In neon.

I think not only I am feeling better, but so are my dog and horse. We all feel safe with each other. I’ll sleep with Vlassic a few more days, so he will know this is his new home. It’s where his food is, and there’s a doggy door! And one day soon he’ll have his human buddy back!

  1. I LOVE that photo of you with the gorgeous smile and pink sunglasses! And, this may sound odd, but I think you’re usually pretty covered up- I guess when you’re outside a lot you want to protect yourself from the sun — so I really noticed I could see your skin — your arms and neck. It’s all a great look for you! ❤

    1. Well, you’re observant, Jen. This is the first year since I was a teenager that I’ve worn shorts, sleeveless tops, and bathing suits around other people. It turns out I’m more comfortable this way. I wear sunscreen but have some tan, anyway. I’m having fun in my body just like it is! At last!
