She'd skitter down the wall and then just sit there, looking horribly embarrassed. I miss that. Spooky is sweet and timid -- she can be really funny, but she's not as entertaining as Sunshine was. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-54544385578343580802008-12-08T10:19:00.000-06:002008-12-08T10:19:00.000-06:00Oh yes, there's quite a bit of racing into doors a...Oh yes, there's quite a bit of racing into doors and cabinets while chasing something, or tumbling off the sofa, or .. or..

Our tap water isn't great either so we buy bottled water for drinking. But the recycling is quite good in our area.

And, honestly? All my horse did was pee. They gave me an older horse because I was just a cute little pup, myself, and everyone else just took off at light speed while my old guy plodded and peed, plodded and peed. Not the best introduction to horses.<BR/><BR/>You mean, "Expect everything to go haywire"? Well, that works. Sh** happens, after all. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks. I'd send you some horse munching noises if I could, but I'll just send hugs. <BR/><BR/>Carrie,<BR/><BR/>I'm the kind of monster who leaves her apples on the kitchen counter. Sorry, horsies.

There is really something very calming about being in a barn filled with horses, especially at feeding time. I feel very peaceful listening to them eat. No idea why. <BR/><BR/>You know, I'm beginning to believe that there is no normal to life. Maybe that's the secret. If you don't accept 'normal' than the upheaval isn't as drastic. No, not really. <BR/><BR/>Take care, doll.<BR/><BR/>cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-51897171423262084352008-12-04T16:12:00.000-06:002008-12-04T16:12:00.000-06:00Jenclair,I think that's probably a pretty good rea...Jenclair,<BR/><BR/>I think that's probably a pretty good reason to either not own goats or lock the goats up so they can't get to the cars.

Rootbeer . . . yummmmm. :)<BR/><BR/>CJ,<BR/><BR/>I actually thought about you, when I was standing there, rubbing horse muzzles. I've never been around horses, but I've always been curious what makes people feel so strongly affectionate about their horses. Well, now I get it. They're much like dogs in their ability to show you how much they love your company. Very cool. <BR/><BR/>Well, if you look at it that way, maybe there is no normal. Or, normal is plodding along till the next crisis, walking through it and redefining all over, again. Life's funny that way. :)<BR/><BR/>Chris,<BR/><BR/>You are so funny! One of the ladies on my book listserv said she used to have goats and that their way of showing affection was to lean heavily against her legs. LOL I think they're adorable, but I hear they can also be a bit of a pain. They're just so darn cute, though, and really quite friendly. I can see why you'd like to own one. Maybe you need to move to the country and marry a farm girl. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-16877592574849448952008-12-04T00:35:00.000-06:002008-12-04T00:35:00.000-06:00HE!!

I know, it's an inane thing to come out of someone's mouth, but I've always wanted a pet goat.
