So I have a bunch to do for this upcoming weekend and very little time to do it. Rich is coming up to take Birdie and Caddie for the extended weekend so i have to get their crap packed, clean my house, bake cookies for work picnic, blah blah blah!

So anyway I cut out of work at 445 today thinking I will get a jump on the laundry list of crap I gotta accomplish in the next 48 hours. I go out to barn to see Cook and she has a big knot on the top of her fetlock. ugh! it’s always something! But she’s fine. Sound. We walk / trotted. There were a couple of kids taking lessons out so Cook and I played lead walk/ trot with Lauren (not Upton or Wiggums - we have like 10 Laurens’ there) and Duly. Cook slowed way down and was good to the Doodles. So then I gave her a bath and put her in standings. She desparately needed a bath - I hate it when she looks all wild eyed, dirty and crazy… like some nutty dirt pony.

Mere stayed with me for a long while. I always like those quiet times with her… when everyone’s in munchin’ hay, it’s dark outside and it’s relaxed. Usually barn time is scurry-around time.

Well I need to stop wasting time and get to it.

nite!
