Dear Sandy...

Camryn here:
Dear Sandy, you can go away now.  We've gotten enough rains & winds now that we don't need anymore!  We're sending lots of thoughts and prayers to those folks/horses/dogs/kitties who are a lot closer to the worst of it all.  Got word from Jillian who lives in Virginia, aside from her puppy being afraid to potty in the wind she and Jesse are good. 
We're lucky though, specially being in the woods.  But being in Ohio even weakened hurricane force winds is a lot windier than we're used to for sure.    Have one pine that thought about uprooting itself, lucky that it's neighboring tree reached out and caught it (for now).  Otherwise it would lift the yard fence, & smoosh the neighbor ladies shed!  Mom's watching it.  Lots n lots of limbs down, pasture is flooded so basically I'm done with the pasture till spring now.  My paddock is kinda flooded too and with all the trees dropping limbs Mom has opted to keep me in!!!  I've had outside access all day for well over 2 years now, so this is odd not having been out since yesterday afternoon.  I did step out when Mom came down to give me more to snack on, let me tell you this "we aren't in kansas anymore!" Every thing looks, smells and feels differant out there.  Mom knew I wouldn't appreciate being in my stall all this time.  So she's propped my stall door open, plus bedded it down even more than the norm, so I've got the barn aisle and my stall to hang in. Mom brought in and filled my 40 gallon trough along with my aisle trough (just in case we loose power).  Onyx has a soup bone, Margeaux n Maziee have mice to chase, and I've got hay bags hanging so it's not all bad by any means.
Mom kinda wonders how the greenhouse she works out faired thru it all???  She's taken this week off to stay with Grampa while he's here so she doesn't know if Sandy may have kicked the greenhouse's butt or not yet. 
Hope all is well with all my friends out there!

Vist from Dr. Tony...

Camryn here:
     Can you believe Mom forgot Dr. Tony was coming yesterday???  This meant that when he arrived instead of already having lunch I had just started!  You know how that makes me feel "very cranky".  Mom was mucking my stall and looked up when Onyx barked, that's when she finally remembered.  Dr. Tony was a tad early so he let me eat for a little while before pulling me away for my adjustments.  He had very little to do this time, just checked for any soreness before using his pressure gun then tweaking my neck.  He's not coming again for a month and says my recovery is actually 2 weeks ahead of what he'd thought I'd be needing.  The next visit should be the last, though Mom says she might have him come give me a look see in the spring.
     Other news, we had some odd looking visitors the other day.  Two wild turkey hens were taking a walk and ended up in the driveway.  Mom & Dad loved it, they were laughing cause the turkey girls looked & acted like two little old ladies just out for a stroll!
     Maizee made it up into the loft, Mom heard her before she saw her this morning at breakfast.  That little girl just loves climbing and jumping.  Maizee & I have become such good friends, sometimes in the morning when Mom comes in with breakfast she'll find me snoozing with my head over my stall door with Maizee snoozing while perched right beside my head.
     Dad bought 1/2 a cow last week, he got if from the peoples Mom buys my feed from.  What good is 1/2 a cow I ask.  Can they stand on only two legs?  And why does it get to stay in the house?  Anybody know what a freezer is?
     Mom is busy tucking in the flower beds for winter.  It's taking her forever!  Today and tomorrow are supposed to be really warm so she's taking advantage of the weather when she can.  I know she should be taking advantage of it by riding me, but she want the flower bed ready for mulching first thing in the spring since the plan is to sell our place.

Playground? I don't think so...

Camryn here:
Today was a most wonderful day, the hay guy came and brought me a jillion trillion bales of hay!!!  I swear cause I stood and counted every one as it came off the truck.  The hay guys always get a kick out of me.  Mom shuts the back gate to keep me out while they back in and unload.  The hay guys always crack up cause I insist on supervising the entire process.  If Mom didn't lock me out, I'd be helping unload for sure.
After Mom lets me in I clean up the chafe hay that flies off during the hay throwing process.  That's when I notice this...

Seriously, this is not a playground.  This is my food supply guys...

 Maizee is not content with the lower 50 bales, she's trying to figure out if she can leap up into the loft.  AND what's up with Margeaux's pink chafe filled bed, and Maizee's crate bed being up on my food supply anyway???

 Margeaux must think she's a "her highness" or something.  Maizee as you can see is quite recovered from her getting fixed as she continues to search for a way up into the loft...

Baths, what's up with that?  My food supply is not a bathroom, you do not take baths in my food supply!!!  I can't stand it SIGH
Though I guess it could be worse, they could actually eat hay and they don't.

Aaaah, peace n quiet...

Camryn here:
Maizee's getting fixed went well today.  She was still pretty groggy when Mom picked her up so she's been tucked away in the spare bedroom. 
Poor Margeaux is just beside herself with missing her lil girl...

NOT!!!

Margeaux been enjoying the peace n quiet big time. I swear she acts like she's at a spa just relaxing and chillin out.   Margeaux can nap without being attacked, walk across the paddock without be pounced upon.  I hate to tell Margeaux not to get used to it, as Maizee will be back in the barn up to her usual antics to soon for Margeaux I'm sure.
