I have a visitor!

His name is Igor (pronouned eeee-gore). LOL, isn't he freaky?! He is life sized too. He stands 5 feet and 7 inches. He is staying at my house until he is repaired, lol. Igor belongs to family friend, Dr. Nick, his house was damaged from Hurricane Ike and Igor got broke. My dog Harley is going nuts and refuses to go in the kitchen. Some protection she is, LOL. Igor's owner has had him for years and keeps him in his house all year round, not just at Halloween, haha.

Harley wants to take a nap, she is curled up but keeping a very close eye on the creep in the kitchen and is fighting going to sleep. Well, thats it. Mom just made it move and Harley is freaking out and says "thats it I'm never sleeping again"

My j-tube is still causing problems. It hurts and it keeps getting hard to use. So hopefully when I see the doctor Tuesday in Houston it will get fixed or something.

Mom just finished washing my truck. It hasn't been washed in a long time and had a lot of dirt on it. So its all clean now for the trip to Houston. It will rain now of course. You know every time you wash a car it rains. And its supposed be a high chance of rain Tuesday too.

Winter is coming and the time is changing. Its getting darker earlier and the nights and mornings are crisp. The horses are starting to get their winter hair and starting to "fluff" up. The horses are really enjoying the cooler weather, they are bucking and running and snorting.

I'm 25yo!

My 25th birthday was Oct.6th! YAY! It was great too!

We are finally done with hay season! Our hay barn is full of wonderful smelling hay!

My Dad disc'd up my riding spot, it still needs more work. The grass is already starting to grow back. But its been raining the last 2 days. So now its a lot of standing water and too wet to disc it now.

Also been messing around with Alleyway. She got exercised the last 2 days. But I'm not sure if I'll mess with her today its so muddy out and still a light sprinkle. The mosquitoes are coming out in full force it seems because of the rain.

I've been shopping, messing with horses, playing with new kitten Molly, going to movies, etc..

Molly is a mess! She is about 3 months old now. She is very playful kitty. She would rather play than be held and cuddled on. She plays non-stop with my dog Harley. Its funny watching them play. Harley thinks that Molly is her pet cat. They are comical.

I'm doing great! There was a mistake with the insurance company, but its all fixed now. My J-tube is bothering me again. And my right lung has been feeling plugged up and "rattle-ly" and sometimes when its like that, in that area I can feel where the gunk is and have a little bit of lung pain there. So I'm doing breathing treatments. Hopefully it will work.

My brother is seeing the cardiologist Monday. To get his heart checked out for defects and stuff since cadio problems run high in our family and he was born with a chest deformity. His left side of the rib cage sticks out farther than the right side. Its only noticalbe to others if its pointed out to them.

Post Hurricane Ike update

Hi all!

I've been very busy so haven't got to update in a while. So this will be a little long.

We have had a lot of storms lately. Gustov and Ike. Ike damaged a lot of things. Mom and evacuated from Gustov but we all stayed home for Ike. Didn't have a place to go with all the horses and Sioux was sick.

Some how Sioux also got a cut during the Hurricane. Shortly after the storm passed our vet came out to my house and laid Sioux to sleep. She is now buried and resting forever peacefully in our hayfield.

Sioux is very missed by my family and myself. She was 23yo and was with us for 14yrs. She gave me MANY wonderful memories and 3 babies. I still have 2 of her colts.

My cousin had an accident while playing and fractured his head and hurt his shoulder and leg. After giving everyone a good scare, looks like he will be just fine and not need any surgery. They are still waiting on more tests to determine if he will need surgery to stabilize the fracture in his head.

Hurricane Ike really hit hard here. Lots of people lost their homes. The curfew here was just lifted today, almost a month later! The surrounding towns still have a curfew.

I went to McDonald's the past Saturday and all they had was french fries, coke, and hambugers with nothing one them. It just came with meat and bread, lol, no special sauce. No pickells, no mayo, mustard, or ketchup. Nada. So I went to Sonic instead and got a hamburger, tater tots, and Dr. Pepper and slit it with my Mom. Which ended with me only eating one bite and getting nauseated so my Mom ate it.

We have been cutting and baling hay for almost 2 weeks now! I hope we get enough hay to get us through to next hay season. But it looks like we will have to buy some hay.

My brother's car he was buying. It caught fire yesterday while it was parked in the parking lot of a hair solon place. It had some kind of leak. The engine and battery and other things in it melted. So they had to load it onto a trailer and haul it to the owners. Which, normally is just about a 2hr drive one way. Well, it turned into a 5hr drive the way there and the normal 2hr drive back. I think they had problems getting it loaded and then had to drive slow and I think they had to stop 1-2 times to fix it or something.

Also Bugs and Rex aren't both male bunnies like I was told. Pretty sure Bugs is going to be a momma soon. So I got another cage and have seperated them. Should find out anytime or up to 2 more weeks to see if Bugs has babies. I also got her a nesting box, for just in case she is pregnant.

I got a kitten! We aren't sure if its male or female. But we think its a girl. So I named her Molly. She will be fixed once she is old enough. Molly is very playful and likes to play rough. And jumps all over Buzz, the dog. They play until Buzz gets tired of her. She doesn't know to run away from dogs or horses, so I have to keep an eye on her.

Last weekend I gave PacMan a bath. It was hot and I gave him the bath in his paddock, so I didn't tie him up to dry afterwards. Just turned him loose, so of course he rolled and got all dirty. I was hot, so I didn't get the knot out of his mane. I think I will get it out tomorrow. Its a small one so won't be hard to get out.

After we are done getting the hay up, Dad is going disc up and drag my sand so that I can start riding again!
