What a weekend...

Camryn here:
Crazy but mostly good weekend, both for me the dogs and the humans.  Mom says there is so much that I should do the boring first (meaning the humans) and then my stuff tomorrow cause it's so much more blog worthy (seeing how it's my blog).
Anyhow, the humans had a cookout yesterday.  Mom's youngest son "Adam" and his girlfriend "Ashley" are moving soon (Wed.).  Adam's gotted a promotion, a job was posted at his work, 25 peoples put in for it and Adam got it.  So they are moving from Ohio to......Alaska!!!  It's in the capital of Alaska, can't spell the name, something like Juno!   So Mom went and picked up Gramma (now to be known as Great-Gramma), Jillian drove up from Virginia with her pupster Molly. Mom's brother Mike and his wife Dianne drove down too.   Chris n Sam had made plans pre-Lincoln to go to the Browns/Bengals game so they weren't planning to make it.

Everyone was having a great time, we found out that Chris n Sam were even planning to pick up Lincoln (other Grandparents were sitting) at home and come on over after the game.  Adam gets a text from one of the peoples Chris/Sam were with that Chris had broked his leg.  Non-Ohio peoples may not know that the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals have a rivalry.  Sam is from Cincy so a born Bengals fan, Chris is a born Browns fan.  They enjoy a friendly rivalry together, they planned to enjoy it at the game.  Chris was wearing his Browns jersey, Sam her Bengals jersey.  Coupla drunks took issue with Sam's Bengal gear, picture a cute little blonde, just three weeks from having a baby being harassed verbally by a couple grown men!!!   Then one actually went "at" Sam physically, Chris jumped forward to stop the man, he did do that but, went over a bleacher backwards.  Sam is crying, Chris jumps up even hurting to protect her.  Policemens came and tried to arrest Chris, the crowd all came to his defense and the other two gotted arrested.  Sooooooo, Chris n Sam knowed that Great Gramma was waiting to see Lincoln, they walked/hobbled to their car, droved home, picked up Lincoln and came here "before" going to the ER for treatment.  Course this made Great Gramma's day totally complete getting hold n love on her very firstest Great Grandbaby. I think her forgot even that Chris was hobbling and broke she was so thrilled to have Lincoln in her arms.

 

Mom n Jillian got Chris leg iced n propped, & fed him and Sam. Great Gramma loved on Lincoln some more, then off to the ER.  Forgot to mention that little Lincoln was in the horsepital himself a few days with a virus, so Jillian tooked Lincoln to their house so he wouldn't get exposed to horsespital ER viruses.   Luckily while Chris leg is indeed broked it's a vertical fracture, he'll be splinted and on crutches for a while. He can still do his regular job but, no fire fighting. So course this means he can't save lifes and their monies are gonna be less. Plus he'll only be able to help Sam with Lincoln if it doesn't involve walking! 

 And all cause of a drunk Browns fool fan.  Oddly enough this was probably the first time that Chris wasn't a drunk Browns fool fan himself and he gets hurt!!!  Go figure that one out?

So while it was a good weekend, Adam n Ashley had a good send off for their new Alaska Adventure & Great Gramma n Lincoln got to meet, it did have it's not so good excitements.  Tomorrow I'll share some four legger stuff which all be good and exciting stuffs :)

Better get used to it...

Camryn here:
I overheard Mom talking to the Littles Momma.  Seems I'm going to be needing to get used to the Horse Eating Saber Tooths in the sky.  There is a place that gives hot air balloon rides just down the hill from us!!!  They even land in the field behind my pasture when the corn isn't there.  Mom's hoping she's not at work the first time that happens.  Knowing her it's probably to get pictures of me wigging out SIGH

AND THEN...

Camryn here:
Picture this, Dad is working on my trick fence out in the pasture, Mom is playing with my wheelbarrow in the yard,  the kitties n Ivy are playing, I'm happily munching on my lovely grass.
I hear Dad call out "Hey Honey" to Mom,  he points out to the sky, Mom runs in the house getting her camera thingie.  She comes out "AND THEN" I hear it, it's a Horse Eating Saber Tooth Tiger in the sky, it's growling at me ready to pounce down and eat me....

I'm poised and ready...

 

 

OMG, it's coming closer...

 

 

My bravery escapes me, along with a few road apples...

 

 

I try my best to out run it the Horse Eating Saber Tooth...

 

 

 

But, there is no where to go...

 

 

My bravery returns, I run bucking trying to kick at the Horse Eating Saber Tooth in the sky...

(sadly Mom missed the shot of my hooves flying)

 

This act of bravery frightens the Horse Eating Saber Tooth down from the sky.  Dad goes back to the trick fence, Mom continues playing with my wheelbarrow, the dogs n kitties relax while I go back to munching on my lovely grasses once again in the Kingdom of Camryn.

 

This by the way happens fairly frequently as we live near two small airports.  The planes don't bother me not one little bit.  Mostly the flying Saber Tooths don't come so close.  Onced though peoples were actually jumping out of the Saber Tooth, I'm guessing to keep from being eaten perhaps.  These peoples had something attached to them that helped them glide smoothly down and away from the Saber Tooths.  Mom says they really aren't Saber Tooths and they don't really eat horses.  She explains that they are balloons filled with hot air, that the horrid roaring noise is actually flames heating the air inside making it fly and allowing peoples to watch horses run in panic to get away from being eaten!  It's not just me either that thinks I'm gonna be eaten, all the neighbors go a running too.  None of us likes it even one little bit, though Mom must like it seeing how instead of protecting me by getting a gun, she comes running with her blasted camera thingie instead?

Change is good...

Camryn here:

I'm sure you guys remember the post with me wigging out after the seeing a walking pavillion last Sat. after the move that Fri.

 

Just in case you don't this is me wiggin.  Took me a few days to recover, Mom was getting pretty worried bout me.

 

 

This was me yesterday, just a week n a day from my move here.  I rarely did this even at the old place, though sometimes Onyx & I would nap near each other it was few and far between.   Feels so good to have the donks on one side and the horses on the other, I can just totally chill & relax here.  I had another proper nap in the paddock again today too. Besides the Littles, another neighbor likes come have a chat with me from his side of the paddock.  He also makes sure to pet the dogs nearly every day.   All us critters are enjoying the new place.  Dad commented that we have very odd kitties cause Margeaux n Maizee are nearly always near the barn or in the yard.  Though Margeaux has been visiting the neighbors on both sides for extra cuddles.  Margeaux follows Mom about like a pup thru the pasture as she empties road apples from the wheel barrow.  Ivy enjoys getting loved on by the Littles thru the fence, she's spending hourse hanging out in or near the barn preferring just hanging with Maizee & me to being in the house.  Mom n Dad get a real kick out of those too relaxing together on the barn patio.  Promise is getting more use to the Littles though she's just not a kids dog like Ivy is.  Tye is happy & content too.

Change isn't always easy, but if you let it happen Change is good!

Feeling chill...

Camryn here:
I'm finally feeling totally chill here at the new place.  Actually I've been doing great since Wed. now. 

This is what I look like a lot of the time now.  Of course that's after and between eating sessions!  I even got to take Mom for a little ride round the paddock yesterday, and I haven't forgotten any of the things the trainer teached us in the spring.  Mom didn't even need to pick up the reins I was totally off her seat and leg for turning, stopping and backing up.  Dad suggested we go back to the unfenced area but, Moms said "we're bridleless, haven't ridden since April AND she's not 20 anymore hee hee!

Today Mom cleaned up the loft so this next week we'll be topping off my hay for winter.  Life is good!
