I’m Back!
I’m back in warm and sunny Florida, and Dad and I have survived the shopping, networking, and learning extravaganza that was Equine Affaire. He did a fairly good job of restraining me, so my wallet is only a tiny bit lighter than it was when I left! We had a blast, and really enjoyed our weekend of horsing around. I can’t wait to share some of the great riding tips I got and try (and report back) on some of the new products I bought.
Now, for the important news! I promised you all a celebration last week, in honor of my 100th (and some change) post! It got delayed a bit, by a skinny little dollfaced mutt that Fate dropped in my path on Monday to welcome me back to Florida. More on that as it develops, but suffice it to say that I am a sucker for a sorry dog. Anyway, I want to thank everyone who commented on my celebration post, and the lucky winner selected by the random number generator is………
Paint Girl from Adventures of the Painted Creek Farm!!!!
Paint Girl, email me with your contact information and I’ll send out your horsey surprise! Thanks so much for playing, I had fun doing it.

This is all too exciting. I am so anxious to hear about your trip with you Dad and about this new mutt. Are you going to name it FATE?

A skinny little dog? Sounds like that would cause a stir for me too! Can’t wait to hear about this development!

Glad you had a fun time – you had asked me if we were going out to the Equine Affaire and I don’t think I answered – sorry! ( We don’t travel much except that big vacation to your sunny state once a year!)
Can’t wait to hear about your new sweetie pie. I hope Grady likes her! I am sure he does.
Congrats to Paint Girl!

Arlene – I’ve tentatively named her Hazel, but I’m not sure yet if she’s staying. She is adorable and very sweet though!
Colleen – Yes, she has certainly caused a stir in many ways. But she’s totally worth it. =)
Kim – I’ll be posting some photos of her soon, she is so cute!
Paint Girl – Congrats! Don’t forget to send me your address!
Julie – I didn’t figure you were going to go out there, I know it’s kind of far for you. Thought it was worth a shot though. =) And no, Grady’s not too sure about the new development. He thought it was great until she came home with us! His nose is a bit out of joint at the moment. Funny though, he thought it was really important to sleep with me last night, when usually I’m begging him to come cuddle! A little healthy competition never hurt anyone, I guess.
