Ferrari

I wrote this Last December when My beloved horse Ferrari died. Ive had horses for 20 years and have never had a tradgety. With in the last year I have lost 2 of my most beloved horses. Its so strange how that works. Both were freak things, and both were the horses I thought would live forever. My very first horse "Coya" is still alive today. She is 32 years old and living at a riding therapy stable. But yet thease horses, who I thought would live forever died so sudden and so young. I miss them dearly. Here is my journal entry the day after Ferrari was gone...enjoy.

"She was my escape from this crazy life, she was my thearapy. She was my friend.She never took a wrong step. She never put me in any danger. She took care of me when the trails were narrow, and the ground was steep. She greeted me with her laughter, ears perked and nostrils blowing. To see her, was royal. Everyone that met us, said, she was grand! She loved to be scratched on her neck, the little spot under her thin mane. Her legs were a little crooked, but the shoer was fixing it... we had a little ways to go. Nothing made me more satisfied then to see her shining hoofs, from a fresh shoeing. I just had the dentist out for her, he said her teeth looked great. He grinded them down with a big metal file and she didnt even move. What a good girl i thought. She was wonderful. She was a member of my drill team, a true Rodeo horse. She was destined to be a star.. I never pushed her hard, we never even carried a flag yet, I wanted to take it slow...but everyone knew she would do it. Even I. There wasnt anything that horse couldnt do. I took her in the ocean, she had never seen it before. She was scared, and shaking, but once the cool, salty water hit her legs, I felt her mouth melt into my hands and she relaxed and I guided her through the sand and in the water. We ran, like in the movies, we ran and it was like we were flying....She wasnt the most comfortable horse, she was a little ruff, maybe it was those crooked legs, but in the sand she flew, like a seagull scanning the ocean for fish....Liam was practicing on her for his horse shows, she was going to be his next BIG event! He was excited and nervouse, but she had no worries at all. She let him kick her around and pull a little harder then I would, and she was wonderful. The next level of riding skill for him, but that will never be.
When I saw her sick, I knew in my heart this was good bye. I tryed to deny it, I tryed to make it better, but surgery, was just not an option. I didnt have the $10,000 it would take to make her better. She was clammy and cold, her heart was racing and she was trashing in pain. I couldnt help her. I was helpless and scared and for a moment alone. Untill I was surrounded by my closest friends who came to help me with my loss. She stood up for one more time, and walked over to me with her head down and ears drooped to the side, then droped to the ground. Her 1000 pound body hit hard, the dirt was soft and I knelt to her head, and gave the ok. She never moved, I held her face and kissed her nose. She was dirty and muddy. And then she was gone. Her hard breaths had subsitted and she was calm. No more pain, just calmness. I closed her blue eyes but they wouldnt stay shut. I brushed her still body, becasue I didnt want her dirty, I pulled her legs to wrap my self in them, they were still warm. I sat there with her. so small next to her giant body. Those feet could kill me in a second, but they were still, she was gone. We cut her tail and a peice of her mane, we removed her shoes, I took off her halter. The one with all the jewls on it, the one that made her face look so pretty. Then it started to rain. I knew it was her, crying with me too. She didnt want to go. We had too much to do, too much to see. Our adventure wasnt done. I walked away and left her body in the rain. She will be cremated and placed with me when I die...Till we meet again.My dear, sweet, friend. So beautiful and Grand... I miss you. Rest in Peace."

Our New Baby

We just couldnt be wit out a dog..so Shane and I have always loved Tough dogs, but with kids you have to be very careful. We came across this breed. The Douge De Bordueax aka French Mastiff. This breed is very intimidating to look at, but is very loyal and gentle w/kids. Also he is a very lazy breed who likes to spend most of jis tme sleeping reather then tearing up the house..And the best part is....He only gets 150 pounds!!!!
We named him Duece.

Very Bad Bad Day

Today we put our beloved Mr.Wonderful to sleep forever. At feeding time this morning, my brother noticed that Mr.Wonderfuls Leg was snapped in half. We called the vet and the prognosis was not good. The bone was hanging out the side and the leg was just hanging there being help on by the skin.

For those of you who dont know Mr.Wonderful, let me tell you a little bit about him. He was Liams horse, and my moms horse.But mostly Liams. He was a gentle,kind, sweet spirit. Who let any child big or tiny up on his back. He took such care in making sure he never scared a child. Or took a wrong step. He loved kids and was the safest horse in the world. That horse could do anything. He was in his golden years. We dont know where he came from or what his life was like before he found us. But if he was a book, Id love to read him. He was one in a million.No one could pay us enough money for that horse. He wanst beautiful, he wasnt a show horse. He wasnt bred to be a racer or a wagon puller. But he was beautiful to us. So grand and so noble.HE touch so many lifes with the love of a horse.Not many people can say they've ever been touched by the heart of a horse, but he did it everyday. He made so many kids happy, so many adults smile. Liam is heart broken and I had to tell him.

My heart hurts.He was suposed to live forever. He is being cremated out of respect. Restin Peace buddy. We love and miss you so much.

Above are some pictures of Mr.Wonderful and how he made so many people smile.

one of my favorite pictures of my kids.

I know,I Know a little out dated, but I just had to share thease photos of my beautiful childeren(Im not Bias) taken on our San Diego Vacation in 2006. I loved that tree so much, By the end of the photo session my kids were getting irritated. But How could resist? It was all so perfect. I couldnt get Lucky to look decent. He was one of those limp babies, that always looks grumpy. Just take a good look at the first picture and look at his lovely hand jester he is making to me....hahahahaah I was going to use that pic as my christmas card, then noticed his hand...what a poophead.

I Cant believe how much Lucky has changed. Look how dark his hair was!

My kids are cute.

Just thought I share some cute pictures of my kids, taken on a beach trip this summer.
From left to right...Dixie,Jesse,Paul(rhondas hubby) and Lucky.
haha he was so happy to be buried, so was I, That ment I didnt have to worry about watcing him!
Typical Dixie face.
No, they are not SISTERS, they are Sister and BROTHER! haha

9 years!!!!

I Cant believe me and Shane have been married for 9 years. Today is our anaversary and as usual we wont be doing much of anything. Our busy lifes keep us apart. Maybe thats why we are still married. We hardly see eachother.
I also just wanted to add, that getting old and having kids, makes you fat.
