 So... I've been promising Funny that we would do things soon... and keep having to break my promise, or postpone it. I was thinking I'd have time when my truck was in the shop, but... I also had to deliver and pick up the truck so that didn't leave me as much time as I thought. And then riding... chores... life... So, she hasn't gotten to do anything fun in a while. The other day when I took Dan she went galloping off in the pasture all mad she didn't get to go play too. Sorry baby girl!! I really need to get a friend to help me and see if she will behave in the trailer while I work Dan so that I can start taking them both, letting her sit while I work Dan and then hacking them both after. Hopefully soon! 

So anyways... this weekend was the snow. So Saturday I was busy doing things and riding Dan. Then Sunday... it "snowed" so we didn't do anything but play. Today I was supposed to work but since we weren't sure what the weather was going to do, we cancelled my 3 horses in Alpharetta. And then because I was around 3 people with covid or significant others with Covid, my Mom and sis didn't want me to come visit to meet my new nephew, so... I had today off. Which... should have been awesome, but... life. The roads ended up being fine but it was bitter cold and windy. Mike and I did breakfast after I did horse chores and then he went to the office for a bit. I debated riding. I could ride Dan at Ashland or at home.. I could take him and Funny for a neighborhood walk. But it was just so brutally cold... I figured neither of them would really want to be naked. So I hemmed and hawed. I decided to at least go and do some errands so I wouldn't have to do them Tues or Thurs when the weather might be nicer. So I did that. Then I took the cavaletti's up to the arena and thought I might take Funny in there to play. But it was really soupy and quick sandy in spots. And the tractor was in the pasture, which meant Dan would chew on it if I brought Funny into the arena... So I didn't. I was still tempted to ride Dan and play with the cavaletti's and make sure they weren't cavaletti's of death. :) BUT... I ended up not. 

I went for a run and did some more housekeeping stuff and computer work. And then, then I played with Funny a teeny bit. I pulled her out and cleaned her feet. I groomed her and cleaned her wound. Then I pulled out the clippers and turned them on. She was pretty good about them so we did lots of rewarding bravery with cookies. She's still a little funny about them near her face when they are on, but fair enough. It was a good start for day 1 of clipper introduction. I even clipped a tiny bit of her chest and chin. Then I put goop on her wound and put her blanket back on. 

Ha! Not much playtime but a little bit. And oh my gosh.. I love her. She has the prettiest head with her big ol' ears. And I swear she's gotten bigger. Her neck was looking so nice too. It's going to be fun to play with her when she's old enough. 

Maybe this week we'll do more clippers and she can come on a walk with me. We need to work more on her and me stuff vs just her and Dan and me.
