Same as last week -- still feeling pretty good, maybe better since it is cooler these days. Yesterday was very exciting on the homefront ... funny, but long story.
Jake and Lucy (brown dog, blond dog) were lounging on their beds enjoying the siesta time (I, of course, was working). All of a sudden Jake jumps up and goes insane! Dean just gets frustrated with him, I actually recognize some annoying behaviors as "interesting" :). Remember, we live out in the mountains, so we don't really have close neighbors ... so I look outside and there is a guy (one of our neighbors) in our driveway - and his wife is on the other side of our property on the phone. I ran outside to see what is going on and my neighbor says, "you have horses near your garage" -- ha ha -- they were our other neighbors horses! and they were in front of our garage.
First, we corraled them into our fenced yard ... and then spoke with our horse-owning neighbors over the phone -- luckily, I am not afraid of horses (unlike the other neighbors!) - so I just used apples to entice them into the yard. It was quite the fun - using the rest of the afternoon inspecting the corral to see how they escaped (gate was left open), trying to find rope to lead them home again (up the hill over the game trails that link our driveways), and feeding them hay (both in our yard, and after we got them back home). You know, now that I am writing this it doesn't sound nearly as exciting as it was that day :-) -- believe me, it was a couple hour ordeal, and caused no end of excitment in dogs, cat, and humans of the house!
Happy week, bloggers!
