Mom's Thanksgiving

Camryn here:
While I didn't get to share it with Mom and the other humans, I do understand they had a wonderful Thanksgiving time together. 
The weather beyond amazing...

Mom's brother Mike with Adam's honey Ashley looking for "sea glass".  Though it's really Lake Erie they still call washed bits of glass "sea glass".

Our Christopher waves for Mom from a breakwall!

Ashley hands Our/Her Adam some "sea glass" she's discovered for saving.  The little hill Ashely is on and beside just looks like sand.  It's really mussel shells washed up from Hurricane Sandy!

The waters were so clear and blue, just amazing for a November day!  Mom just had her cell phone so no pix of peoples kayaking along the shore...

Our Adam way out, with Mike and Our Chris hopefully not contemplating a swim.  With Our Chris you just never know!

Mom's sis-in-law Diane standing with Dad.  After Hurricane Sandy washed up lots of smelly mussels they weren't into walking the beach so much.  Plus Dad didn't want to spill his coffee I'm thinking!

Our Adam contemplating the cosmos or something like that!  I'm thinking the bottle in his hand aides in the contemplating perhaps?

Mike & Diane live in Avon Lake, Ohio and their house is just across the road from Lake Erie.  With such lovely weather everyone decided on a little beach walk as dinner cooked.  Normally on Thanksgiving doing such a thing due to the weather would be impossible.  The weather was/is just one of many things we give Thanks for this year...

 Family, mostly all together is one thing to be Thankful for.  Jillian & her Jesse had to be elsewhere, but we'll see them this weekend.  Or at least Mom & Dad will...

Good food is yet another!  Our Chris after having been to Iraq and home again safely twice is something Mom is Thankful for each and every day,  Gramma's cancer getting smaller is another big one.  Just being with & enjoying family is yet another.  Mom says she always feels blessed in her life, and of course I'm one of the those reason that has her feeling so very blessed to have as  part of her life.
And not to worry, I was feeling very Thankful too, Mom hung not one but three hay nets for me yesterday!!!  Darned slow feed ones, but still like the humans an abundance of food to enjoy and count my blessings on as I ate!
And of course we give Huge Thanks to our Troops who couldn't be home with their families so that Mom could be with hers.

Special Thanksgiving news...

Camryn here:
We've got some really special Thanksgiving news, see it's not just for humans but horses too you know.  Anyway, you may remember a post back in September about a friend named Snip going to the Rainbow Bridge?  His peoples Anna & Dave had just begun the search for a horse to fill the gynormous gap left by Snip.
Well, Mom follows this rescue "Sugarcreek Horse Save" on facebook.  They usually rescue Haflingers from the kill auctions, on occasion they save others too.  Mom saw they'd rescued a big black TWH with a "snip" on his nose.  Knowing Anna's fondness for Walkers Mom forwarded her the video. Mom had real good vibes, specially the "snip" on the Walkers nose, kinda like "Snip" saying this is the one.  Anna hurried and contacted the rescue, they went to see him last night:

Tada...This is "Steady Eddie" and Dave.  Yup, they falled in love with him all right and brought him home last night.  The kill buyer was bidding on him but, the "Sugarcreek Horse Save" peoples outbid them.  Eddie is for sure one lucky horse, he escaped the kill buyer, and is now right thru the woods from me where he'll get all the loving and food any horse could hope for.  Something everyone is very thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and specially Anna, Dave & my new friend Eddie.

I'm quilted?

Camryn here:
Mom's noticed something differant about this years winter woolies.  I appear to be quilted!  Even Sherry my trimmer noticed it, so Mom thought she'd try to get pix of my quilting to see what you guys all thought.

Odd isn't it!  Mom n Sherry both thought it was like my dapples got all furry in the middle before the outside dapple rings did.  It shows more off camera and was more apparent a few weeks ago.  We're thinking it's on account of the Omega 3 supplements I've been on since spring? 

I'll just rest here and wait for any thoughts you may have about my odd winter woolies.

Feets trim time...

Camryn here:
Funny how I used to have my Mani/Pedicure every 8 weeks, now that I've been on Omega's however it's been bumped up to every 6 week the past few trims.  Mom "FINALLY" brought the camera down for my mani/pedicure session too.  Poor Sherry, I'm sure she appreciated her bum being in every shot! "NOT"

"Hey Sherry could yu do some sparkly holiday polish this time round?"

"Don't humans sit in nice cushy chairs listening to lovely music while having their Mani/Pedicure?"

"SIGH, this is soooo boring, but wait...

"I spy my hay bag tied behind me"

"Hay bag come to me, come to me Oh, lovely hay bag"

"Dang hay bag chant didn't work, but at least the Mani/Pedicure session is nearly done now"

The above pic was my "don't wanna lift it leg", now post Chiro I lift with no prob.  Coarse I still gotta lean cause I can!  Kinda bummed about not getting the sparkly holiday polish stuff though SIGH!

Just inhale deeply...

Camryn here:
I was wondering if any of your humans do this?  Lately specially on gloomy days Mom leans into me, puts her face right up againts me.  Then her just inhales deeply, sometimes just once, sometimes for several minutes.  When she's done she always thanks me.    Odd I think but, it does seem to please her.  She tells me the only thing that remotely compares to a smell as pleasing as mine is puppy breath!  Odd, odd, odd!
