Wow, I need to get back into an updating habit.
So everything has been well. I did really well at a show last weekend with a bird that was going to retire, that won't happen. Things have been pretty busy lately but track's almost over so that'll help a lot. I'm starting to think about getting a companion goat for my horse so he isn't always so lonely. And the show stuff is taking off, I'm getting into participating in a couple more shows and the breeding system will take off from there (hopefully).

I thought you had two horses?

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Yeah, I do but one is my mom's show horse that lives at a different place with an indoor arena.

What kind of goat are planning onn getting?

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Probably a Pygmy, if hopefully also be showing it.

Okay, so I was reminded recently about my favorite chicken, one that touched my heart but left too early. The good animals always seem to be that way. They teach you so much but then leave you. Your heart breaks and you realize it will never be the same. The break is hard, I remember someone else experiencing it with a horse. The feeling is hard but they show their presence to you trying to ask you not to waste tears because they lived an amazing life, yet tears find their way and you feel how different it will be.
So here's to my former showmanship bird Pumpkin on the eve of the anniversary of her death, Chilly the horse that my friend lost this summer, Fridge the amazing Iditarod lead dog, and Star @Southern by choice 's favorite goat, along with many more amazing animals who left far too early.

It really stinks when animals you were close to die. I had a bearded dragon that was the closest pet I'd ever had, but she died pretty young.

 

[Poka_Doodle]

I'd agree with you Luke.

So ski season is somehow coming soon. There is still no snow but hopefully that will come.

Poke do you do cross country or down hill? Me and my sister are possibly going to try cross country.

Extreme downhill. I haven't done cross country before.
