Animal Farm

July 21st, 2010

Life with 2 horses, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 ducks and 1 Marine is definitely an animal farm but not really the one George Orwell had in mind. It’s a blast watching the ducks try and fly, crazily chance bugs about back and forth in their yard. The kitty loves tormenting Picollo and Zita daily and they seem to enjoy the antics almost as much. It’s a riot to see the cat, Lil Dude, trot like a lion along the fence line as a momma bird dive bombs him all the way to the horse trailer! Carrara always welcomes me with a light whinny as I walk out the front door, especially when she knows it’s feeding time and little Picollo in general is just the “best paralyzed doxy on the planet” no joke!

Here’s early morning “Let’s PLAY” from the kitty!

And this is what happens when paint is in the same rubbish as chicken bits.

So while you won’t be hearing the sheep from the hay barn chanting “Four legs gooooood. Two legs baaaaad.” you will hear the cicadas churping a chorus in the trees, the occasional whinny, a defensive bark and the quacks from Dooney & Burke and I’d define that as an animal farm and my own personal paradise too!

Sunny Bright New Office

July 20th, 2010

Some of the walls in my office have undergone a reworking with new drywall and once that was all finished a nice bright color has followed. I went with Valspar’s 3001-1B “Dandelion Wish” and it’s fabulous! The trim color is Valspar’s 3001-2C “Champagne Tickle” and viewing the finished product, I’m tickled beyond delight and all my wishes of a fabulous new look to the HorseGirlTV® studio office have been fulfilled. We just need to get the art and photography up and all set!

Or course Carrara didn’t care either way but the view out the window to her is MUCH improved. Do note the adorable baby picture in the black frame on the shelf behind my desk! And also my Aunt Roberta’s horse clock! It’s many, many years old and I’m so happy she passed it on to me. RIP Aunt Roberta!

Of course a bright new office deserves some wacky furniture and I was thinking this foot stool goes quite well with the farm and horse girl theme. What do you think? Send me your thought to the HorseGirlTV Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/HorseGirlTV/127250575050

Wrestling Up Dem Doggies

July 16th, 2010

Okey so I’m not talking about doggies as in cows but I came in from a fun morning of training and Zita wanted to play so I wrestled her to the ground and our new barn cat and I sat on her while Picollo watched on with (I’m quite sure) amusement! Look at the smile on Zita’s face! Too cute!

Picollo seems more interested in having his picture taken than supervising the wrestling match!

We are starting a mini-remodel of my office at the farm and the kitty was trying to help today by moving around the plastic!
