We're pending...
Camryn here:
Finally it "appears" the humans are done with the wheeling dealing and we're now pending on the house with the pretty barn! Mom n Dad gotta go sign some stuff tomorrow, then course da inspection & bank checking to make sure the house is worth what we're paying.
Mom says there is soooo much to do! The seller offered immediate occupation after closing, cept the barn not till July 4th so she could get stuff out. Then she said "oooooh, I can't possibly be out before July 4th" our agent reminded her that "she offered the immediate occupation & that's the main reason Mom n Dad went with her higher price". So she's gonna put her stuff in the garage so Mom can least get in and strip ulgly borders n paint. AND so Dad can get the dog n my fencing up too. That way soon as the seller is OUT they can move in all the way then begin readying this place for Grampa.
Projected move for us is early July, for Grampa late July/ early Aug. Hopefully it'll all go smooth as Cowboy Magic!
Oh, Mom told me having hooved friend of my own may have to wait since they didn't get the house at the price the wanted! Guess the neighbor equines n my kitties will do for a while right!

Possible friend? Maybe?...
Camryn here:
Just in case I need a friend once we move (won't know more bout place we have offer on till late tomorrow) Mom's been looking a lot at Craigslist.
She found these two and though they'll most likely have new homes afore we be ready for a new friend I wanted to share them with you. Gives me something to post about anyhow!
The Mini Donkey is 6 years old, the peoples gotted two donkeys to keep coyotes away from their sheeps. They only wanted one but, the sellers gave them two! They be wanting to keep the donkey that prefers just hanging with the sheep. The guy they be selling prefers to hang with the peoples which they find annoying but, Mom would love. On account that I'm not a cuddle bug n all. They call him Donk Heotay if you say it fast it's really a play on words for Don Quixote (hope I spelled that right). Mom drives by him every day when coming to and from work and says he's a real cutie.
We don't know this little mares name but, she's also nearby. She apparently gives the peoples 2 & 4 year old daughters rides and she sounds real nice too. She likes being all brushed and primped over which Mom would enjoy. Plus with a grandfoal on the way a mini that rides would eventually have a job to do.

Dad knows I might need a friend, he doesn't know Mom is already looking around for one though. I think they both be totally adorable and would be awesome potential friends. But, Mom says I can only have one. I hopes one is still available when it's time! Mom's seen lota minis and donks available but, for some reason these two are the ones she feels drawn to.

Gramma & house stuff...
Camryn here:
Yesterday was Gramma's appointment with Oncologist. Just like the surgeon a few weeks ago she couldn't feel the cancer. She says if they did surgery they'd still most likely find active cancer there. But, the meds be working so if Gramma didn't want surgery "yet" they'd let it go and continue baby sitting. Since the cancer isn't being life threatening to Gramma right now & surgery very well could be, Mom gave Gramma the thumbs up to make the call. Gramma of course voted for no surgery :) She'll now be seeing the Oncologist every 4 months, she'll keep her surgeon appointment for next month, then most likely see her once a year after that. Oncologist says if the meds stop working, they'll try a differant one if Gramma is still not wanting surgery. Gramma's age is taken into consideration being 81 n all the surgery could be just as if not more dangerous at this point since the cancer is under control. Oncologist has seen these meds help for 6 months and up to 6 years. So that's real good news and we all be happy. Gramma most of all.
Yesterday afternoon Mom n Dad made offer on the house. The lady came back with what she say be her final offer. This final offer of hers was not a significant drop and considering she hadn't even bothered with stripping deer head wall paper borders and putting up fresh coat of paint, Mom doesn't consider the lady to be particulary motivated to sell. Even the ladies realtor seems to feel the lady has issues with control. Mom n Dad sent back a counter so we'll have to see if the lady motivates herself a little. It appears the house was part of her divorce settlement, Mom has a feeling the lady wants to get even with her X by getting top dollar. Well, her top dollar is more than we be willing to go up to considering updates be needed. The bank most likely wouldn't appraise at her price either, sooooo even if Mom n Dad agreed with her price the bank would/could nix it so hopefully she'll get reasonable and take the new offer. Otherwise Mom n Dad will walk away and continue shopping & the lady will still be trying to sell her empty house for top dollar. Mom says whichever happens is what's meant to be.

This, that & the other...
Camryn here:
Lots but, at the same time nothing much going on here.
Mom's been walking me thru the grass with a chain on my halter, teaching me that grass is only really good when she says OK. Otherwise it's not so good cause the chain kinda bites me SIGH. Today Mom saddled me up and rode me round the paddock (finally it's dry enough), she made sure my listener was working well. Then she dismounted and opened the gate to the yard and all it's green splendor! At first I didn't wanna stand for her to remount cause I wanted in the yard real bad. So mean Mom made me walk round n round n round the mounting block till my listener was tuned up again. Mom mounted then we went into the yard, surrounded by nommy greenery and not a bite could I have. Yes, I'm whining! Good part is, that since Mom understood the tempation and how cruel she was being, she pulled out the clicker and worked with click n treating. That helped some. Though I didn't wanna get to close to the paddock gate cause I knowed once thru it there was no chance at grass. Mom realized that so everytime we headed towards the gate, she'd either whoa, turn, or circle me "before" I decided to revolt on my own. Something bout it being her idea so we were always successful? I don't get it but, I was good and never revolted at all. Mom dismounted while still in the yard, then lead me into the paddock and shut the gate. I was soooooo sad bout that, but once unsaddled she hooked the chain on my halter and I got to go back in the yard to eat. On her terms but, I did think that was very nice of Mom.
Mom and Danette went to a tack swap yesterday. Since my diet is working so nicley I needed a new girth, she picked up a really nice comfy one for real cheap. I liked that purchase, the other purchase not so much. A dressage whip so that when I try to lag behind when being led so I can maybe snatch some grass she can keep me catched up. Darn trainer teaching her all these little tricks to trick me BAH I say!
K, the other...Grampa is in the horsespital again. Actually this is the third time in as many weeks! They be thinking he might have blood clots in his legs. Course they think something differant every time, Dad is way stressed out. He can't leave work, his college classes, the trying to buy new house & Grampa has him on over load. One of the sisters is going to go down tomorrow or Tues. Her car won't make the drive so Mom n Dad are letting her borrow one of our trucks to go down.
Gramma is doing good, she goes to see her Oncologist on Tues. So hoping Oncologist concures with her surgeon and no surgery will be needed. Gramma's Dr. visits is one of a few reasons Grampa can't just move in here right now. See, we only gots a two bedroom house and Gramma stays with us for Dr. visits. So someone would have to sleep with me in the barn if the spare bedroom was occupied I guess!
The weather is BEEAUTIFUL, flowers be a blooming, I'm loving smelling the magnolia blossoms on the tree by my barn door. And no I don't eat em, they be far to pretty to eat. Maizee is finally making friendly with Promise and Ivy, still isn't to sure of Tye yet. Probably cause his fur covers hims eyes. I suppose if she knew he was blind and deaf she'd realize she didn't need to hide from him?
