Boston is the best cat!!

BLW and i have an on going debate to which cat is the best. Because we have 5 inside cats and 1 outside cat the debate will likely be going on awhile...

I always side with Boston the long haired white cat with the awesome blue eyes. He purrs no matter how you hold him. He is the only cat we have that comes when you call him. He is the boss cat. He is always starting fights with the other cats. And tonight he caught a mouse. I got out the bath, walked into our room and over in the corner ( that you usually cant see but we have nothing in our house right now because of the fire) is Boston playing with a mouse. Blw wouldnt help me get the mouse. So i tried to get boston to put it in the trash can i was holding, with no luck, all the while blw is laughing his butt off. blw finally put boston outside to finish playing with the mouse and hopefully kill it.

Brandon likes hugs the best because she stays to herself. He likes spook second she is the same way. Then dc and kisses. then boston. Cat of course is his favorite but even cat haters love Cat. I call him Samson.

I like boston, then dc, kisses, spook and last and least hugs. Cat/samson is in a class of his own with me. Hugs is a snobby bitch and she wont let me pet her. I should have left her ass in the vet clinic.

Yes it is 5 now inside. On Nov 1 a black, bright orange and white cat showed up. I name her Spook. She is a super sweet but has some issues from being a stray. She was getting in the trash at all hours of the day, then just at night and not at all lately. She was guarding the food which is always full all the time but that has stopped. Guess she has started to trusted that there will always be food at the top of the cat tree.

Very Shity Week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday...I felt like a complete loser after the barrel race on Sat. Beau turn back over his self on the 2nd for a big NT. And, the ground was so bad that I loped Poncho thru, so he would not fall down. Oh and my husband work a over time this day too. I am restless when he is not around. My mind is foggy in is absence.

Monday...I don't really remember

Tuesday...I spent like a gazillion dollars!! I bought x-mas presents $600 at mooremaker and $400 at mary kay with Debbie. I paid off the vet about $2000. I bought another horse only $450.

Wednesday...Me and Blw ran over Bloomer bruising a lung and hurting him on the inside but nothing broken. He stayed the night at the vet. I spend $500 getting the rest of our animals fixed. I had a really hard time not being mad at everyone, which is like I always am before I start and I think my life sucks and I am really sad. Anyway, its always like that but I am learning to deal with it.

Thursday...Me and Brandon got into a huge fight over nothing. Fighting with him always sucks because we do it so rarely. Then at Collinsville I hit the second barrel on both my horses.

Friday...I get up with plans on during lots of errands. I drive to Paradise where I buy my supplements and blw car is out of gas. I pull into the gas station only to find out our account is over drawn. In short I had no money to get gas, so I try to drive home. Running out of gas a few miles from home. So now Im broke and stranded.

Saturday...I started my period so i was dying from my cramps till my pain pills kicked in. I then got up and fed my horses. blw mom brought her grand kids over to my petting zoo. They went home and I decided for lunch, I would cook some fries. I put the oil in the pan. Then went to the bathroom to turn my straighter on so I could fix my hair to go see Brandon, since he was working overtime again. I got distracted with my new hair extensions. I finally remember lunch and when I walk out of my bed room I see flames shooting out around the kitchen wall. I called the fire dept. I then open the front door so all the kids(animals) could go outside and rolled the ferret cage out side. I was looking for a fire extinguisher while calling blw. He reminded me that I should use DUH the water hose outside the back door. I put the fire out then soaked the the wood so it wouldn't catch anything else on fire. The fire dept finally got there and checked everything out. They all gave me shit because blw teaches classes all over the country and is a captain and I set the house on fire.

Hopefully the stars are better aligned for rest of the year. I have a little over an hour to go and this week will be over. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paris is retired to the broodmare pasture

I ran Paris a Collinsville, Zaal Ranch. She had a smoking first barrel. I got her pasted the second and she tried to run to the alley, again. This problem is totally mental. She does it no matter what on the second barrel. You can run her left or right and she blows back to the alley leaving the second. I have seen horses do this before...They run good a few times, then blow off the second. I think this has little to do with soundness. I'm done. Brandon says he is done wasting money on her. She mentally wears me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you do with horses like her? I might have a friend who will rope off her. I might still start her over fences, but I don't know if her front legs will hold up. Plus, Im really busy with all my barrel horses. She is sound, and who cares if she isn't she should at least try. I'm just tired of being embarrassed. I have never had a horse like her. I love her personality; she is super sweet and funny. Both, things she was not when I bought her, she was a drag. Maybe she doesn't want to be a barrel horse. So, anyway she is "just" a broodmare, now. I will be breeding her to Versace(Dapper Dan Man) in 2009. I think they will have a super pretty, well built, talented baby.

We will be breeding all our mares to Versace next year. Gucci, Doodles, Ruby and Paris.......I already have names picked out. Gucci...IPH FASHION LABEL, Paris...IPH ANGELOUS, Doodles...IPH CHARMING MAN or IPH RICH N CHARMING, Ruby...IPH DARLING MAN or IPH DANS GIRL. No barn names yet....Coming soon.

I started riding Paris again last week, ran her at Zaal Ranch in Collensville...she had a super great first barrel, I didnt ride her pasted the 2nd barely hitting it, great 3rd.

Poncho is turning into quite the superstar...winning the 4d in his 3rd race, at Zaal Ranch. Would have won the 4d at Hopper's on his 4th time entered, but it was 1/2, 1/2, 1 splits (stupid). We had a nice run going his 5th run till I confused the poor old man going to the third, oh well shit happens right. We ran his 6th & 7th entries at Belton, our first run was okay a 16.2 2 seconds off. The second run was smoking he clocked a 15.328. I am really proud him, at 20 and been on the barrels about 4 months.

Beau is still psycho. He is running okay but not running. He drifts going to the third, working on that.

Torch comes home tomorrow, yay!!! We had 30 days put on him by the guy who broke Roanie.

Coco will start her 30 days tomorrow. She is the filly we got from Zach and Jennifer.

Armani is taking being weaned like a little pro. He is super attached to Poncho.

Braska is halter broke pretty much. I can tie her up. She leads okay, in her pen. She is really strong and can get away from me if she wants to.
