Bees, brambles, and birthdays

Bees!!! Ziggy and Ziva were in the back, so they got the brunt of it. Poor Ziva was scared and wouldn't come on the trail with us. I kept having to stop, get off, and get her. Finally, she just lay down and wouldn't come. Shirley had a birthday party Redding and Lynn had town errands, so they both said we could call it a day. We barely got past the dump.

Sunday, Lynn and I rode again. I was worried that Ziva wouldn't come. In my head, I went over all kinds of scenarios--most of them with her not coming riding anymore. :( But she was a trooper. We went for a good ride and she was right there on Jupiter's "6." We had a great ride.

Yesterday, Haley came up lame. She wouldn't put her back foot down. Lynn and her co-workers tried to muzzle her and hold her and use the big spotlight to try to find the problem, but she would not let them. Lynn took her to the vet who could not find anything either. She asked if maybe Haley got in the brambles. :) Ha! Among other things! She was walking better while she was there--hopefully, today she is fine. She's has to have good feet--we've got riding to do!

Today, Thursday, July 23, is Ziva's second birthday! I have been so blessed to have her. She is a good girl. I brought her home in September of 2013 and she has made my life so much better. I think that is why the loss of my jewelry has been less traumatic. Yes it is a terrible feeling to know someone came into my house and took my things--special and irreplaceable things--but still, things. It could have been worse. I live a very blessed and fortunate life--they can't take that away.
