You know you have too many dogs when...

And yes, Lisa you're right.... if anyone wants to come visit here they should bring plenty of Valium and allergy meds. =)

The Loudest Day on the Ranch

It's weaning day... Colts are crying, moms are nickering, the newly separated studs are screaming (yes this is the right word. If you've never heard it, just trust me), the geldings running the fences wondering what they're missing ... Ah! Ranch life.

I know I've disappeared from blog-land for awhile, but it's for a good reason. I skipped chemo at the normal 28-day mark because of side effects and am not scheduled again until 10/15, so I am feeling 100% and loving it. I've been out riding, hunting, traveling, and putting together our business finally after 2 years of it needing done. I started an accounting program, developed a website (all on my own - I have to brag about that - and don't forget to check it out from the link on the right-hand side of this page), taken thousands of horse pictures and posted ads on different internet sites and magazines. It's been quite a month. I LOVE IT!!! Folks, I'm gonna say it again... if you feel good (or, in other words, if you get up and don't think about how you feel), appreciate it. Please.

My cancer count is down to 249. Last count was 268 and this little drop was during a time I got no chemo at all. My doc thinks it's because the chemo is still working. I think it's because I'm a good fighter. *smile*

Here are some photos of my birthday trek to the Gros Ventre above Jackson. It was sunnier than this and the colors were amazing. Wish the pics had turned out better!

Riding an ugly borrowed horse, but having fun anyway. *smile* Oh and no, we didn't find anything.

And here's one of our beautiful babies. Don't you just want to give her a hug? I know, I know, that's such a girly, animal-lover thing to say, but she's adorable! =)

And then there's Gus again... it's the proud mama in me, I guess. (And this proud mama is feeding him too much, as you can tell.)

Good days, all!
