When you're on vacation, every day feels like Saturday. What a great week we have had on Lynn's vacation. (: Today, we rode around the ranch/lower meadow on the Hennessey. We rode on the east side of the barn where it is park-like.We went up the steep quad track as far as we could go (there were two trees that were too low to go under and too long to go around) and back around to our favorite short cut/new trail. It's always fun and games until someone loses a dog! ):
Haley and Sammi took off after something and disappeared into the woods. Haley came back, but no Sammi. After much calling and whistling, Lynn finally said she was going to backtrack and see if she could find her. Sure enough, she was a ridge over from where we were, nose to the ground, tracking her way back from who knows where! She was easily as scared as Alisa and was happy to be reunited with familiar horses, dogs, and most of all her momma! She stayed really close to Keota and did not wander off or chase anything after that.
It was a quick ride so Alisa could come home, shower, and head out. I came home took a nap, fiddled in my yard, and basically whittled away the day. I told my neighbor I would see him tomorrow at work. Hmmm. It was hours later when I realized it was only Saturday. I guess since Alisa was going home, I thought it was Sunday!
So anyway, here I am enjoying a cool sprinkle on Sunday morning wondering if my horse is looking for me or just enjoying his day off with his friends. I know I miss him--it's pretty fun to ride every day!
I guess it's time for me make my summer list of "to dos" and get crackin'. I have lots of projects I can be working on during the week days so I can ride on the weekends with my riding partners. I am happy it's summer--it's time to get organized--then I can get everything done and play, too. Thanks for a great week to kick it off!
So glad Sammy came back I think she scared her self. Bet she doesn't do that again. Hope not anyway.
ReplyDeleteOk well she better not, I can not loose my dog. What a great week of ridding, I was sad to see it over so quick, the only good thing is I have a lot more rides with everyone to look forward to.
