Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

I looked at Taste of the Wild. And, it either listed corn, or corn meal gluten.

I'm sure that once I get the hang of making my own cat food, it will be easy. But for now, just the thought of it is a bit daunting. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hey Deb!j

My cats favorite is actually warm mouse tartar.

Can I cry now? I went out to the farm to feed Stormy. CL was there. I learned from her that the new boarder's horse isn't broke. She wanted to know if RU could break it for her! That ain't going to happen. While I was still there, NB and her daughter came. I am being civil to them. I do not like them, and am praying about it.

I was getting ready to leave when I noticed them over by my tack shed, so I went to see why they were there. I heard NB's daughter say, I'm not using that. She was talking about MY portapot. It is not there for the general public to use. It is for me! I'm the one that has to empty it and clean it. I was quick to inform them that that's mine, it's not for everyone to use. So then they asked about a bathroom. Keep in mind, this is not a fancy boarding barn. Basically, during the week, the only people that are there are RU and myself. If I have to go, I use my portapot. If RU has to go, she uses her house. And, during the weekends, anyone that's there normally just uses a stall. RU used to have a rented potty, but it wasn't worth the money, so she got rid of it. I'm hoping that NB won't be there much during the day. I am NOT going to tell her when I'll be there, and I'm NOT giving her my cell number. But, I'll take all the prayers I can get on dealing w/her.

As for good news, yesterday afternoon when I got there, I got an egg. This morning, I got an egg. This afternoon, I got an egg! So, either I have one chicken that's laying more than an egg a day, or both of my girls are now laying! I keep telling myself that I am not going to get an incubator, but it sure is tempting.

I sure hate it when I have to deal with people I don't like. But I guess that is just life.

I think I would have said, "You don't like my porta-potty?.........well good, it is just here for ME to use."

Time to break out the chocolate syrup! Just keep a little smear around the seat of your porta potty and I guarantee NO body will be using it but you!

I like your style, honey! What a great idea.

 

[Denim Deb]

Yeah, but what a waste of good chocolate! What I'm going to do is when my hubby finally finishes making the shelter for it, I'm going to put a lock on it. And, the key will be in my tack shed.

I have been doing some thinking though. I don't know how long she's had this horse. He's a BLM, and apparently she can't do much w/him. Someone gave him to her. She knows nothing about working w/a horse. And, I'm willing to teach her-for a price. So, we shall see. It might be a way for me to make some money.

 

[Farmfresh]

Those mustangs take a good long while to gentle even if you know what you are doing. How old is the horse? Do you know how long he has been in captivity?

My uncle had a BLM from Wyoming that had been captured as a yearling. She was about 15 hands and built like a Belgium draft horse yet she could clear a 5 foot fence without blinking. She finally made a decent enough horse, but my uncle used to cowboy professionally for many years and REALLY knew his stuff.

People can be so frustrating can't they? Someone like that though, I'm not sure you could ever make enough money to make training her or the horse worth your trouble. And it sounds like that's how it would end up. If you want to make some extra money, would you be able to post an ad on CL or find someone nice at a different facility who would be willing to pay you for your knowledge?
