Pups and pony pot!

Dublin is such a goof, I think he plays as much upside down and right side up, LOL
Lisa over at, Laughing Orca Ranch , wanted to know how Dublin is doing. He is still his goofy self, doesnt cause problems and loves his treats!

Silly boy!

Until he notices the camera and then he is all serious, LOL LOL

Little Max, he is doing great too. He is getting bossy! He tells me now when he wants to go outside, whether it be to potty or just to go out and play!! The weather has been so much better! So he thinks he needs to go outside. I have been taking him out with my to let the horses out at mid day. Funny he isnt the least bit scared of the horses.
Max is so tiny! He is all of 10 lbs but, he seems smaller! That toy is about 12 inches long.

He is also a goofy little dude! LOL Our living room looks like a two year old lives here! With all the toys!!

Meghan gave me this planter for my birthday!!! (Yes I had a birthday this month!) LOL
It is so cute I dont want to put it outside! The poor mums though, may have to go out!
I love the horse shoe feet it has! Its head moves too! Like a bobble head! Its just too cute!!
The weather is starting to improve!!! We are getting a few dry days and maybe even over 60F,
Woo Hoo!!!

Starting to feel a smidge like Spring!!

It is warming up around here some. More rain though, it is so wet!!!! I de-muddified the girls yesterday and trimmed Mickeys feet, she was way overdue. Also shaved her legs, bridle path and ears and under her chin! She looks like a horse now, instead of a Yak!!! LOL. Emma is next, she is getting long again. Put some MTG on Emmas lower legs today, after letting her dry out overnight, she wasnt happy about being locked in the stall. I usually let her come in and out as she pleases. She has a little bit of mud scald, I shaved the hair and put the MTG on, hopefully that helps, will do it a couple times a week. I just wish it would dry out!!!
  Mickey and Easy seem to be fine, no fungus or problems with them.
Shaving the hair on the legs helps, they dry out faster. MTG is an oil so it will help repel the mud somewhat too. Next is a good scrubbing with betadine shampoo. I was out in the barn until 8PM last night!!! Nice! and it was still light! All of the girls got to come out and eat some green grass too, they love that! Hosed them all off and they all stayed in last night, so were nice and dry this morning.
For as wet as it has been none of them have any thrush!!! amazing! They are in every night on bedding pellets so that drys the feet some.
  I so want some nice weather so I can work Emma, I think I am going to have to take her to an arena to get started! Such a pain. But such is living in the NW!!! Emma needs a lot of ground work before I ride her, some refreshers! She tends to be a pushy in your space horse. Parelli work helps a lot with that. But for now its even to wet to bring them out onto the grass in the yard, there would just end up a muddy pock marked mess, which Hubby wouldnt be happy with when we mow, me neither for that matter LOL. For now the grass is up to 12" tall or more and its to wet to mow! Hopefully we can this weekend its supposed to be nice and dry over the weekend!
  The Hummingbirds are really active and all over the place right now!! The little zingers!!! I am filling both feeders now that its not going to freeze. I just learned that some of them dont go south for the
Winter, we have Anna's and Rufus, I havnt identified any others yet.
  Just waiting waiting waiting for Spring!!!! And some dry days!!!
