Yeah, horse show happened yesterday, but I need a day to gather myself before I can write all that up, so a few quick “what’s up in my world” updates:
First – dog update. As I mentioned last week, Stewie had not been feeling so well. The only thing we found amiss in his vet appointment was a low grade fever and elevated white blood cell count. He came home with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, instructions to bring him back if he seemed worse, and a follow-up appointment for this Weds to recheck him. He’s steadily gotten better at night (he’s not shaking for hours at a time), although he’s still not eating very well (granted, he’s never been a particularly great eater anyway). He wants MY food, and treats, but not his own food.
I bought my plane ticket and Rolex tickets last week, so I’m officially GOING. If there’s some kind of blogger meetup happening, lets talk details. I’m so excited!
I finally paid off the Devoucoux! That didn’t take FIVE MONTHS or anything. Thanks, Henry’s giant stack of fall vet bills and newly acquired, very expensive acupuncture addiction.
Because I am obviously so very good at adulting (see above), I rewarded myself with a pair of “oilslick” spurs. They were on sale, shut up.
And last but not least, a few Sadie pictures. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a pregnant mare who’s belly was so perfectly round.
She still thinks she’s fancy though!
More tomorrow, when I’m more awake.

Those spurs were obviously a necessity though. Duh. Can’t wait to hear all about the show once you’ve had a chance to recover!

100% necessity. I can’t wait to wear them and have trainer go “what the fuck is on your foot?”.

Lol Sadie. Also glad the pup is starting to feel better!

In hindsight, I really should have made that into a gif instead of a screenshot. The waddletrot is impressive.

Please include Sadie waddletrot gif as bonus in tomorrows update. Seeing a waddletrot in action is probably a public service of bringing happiness anyways so..

Jealous I’ve always wanted to go to Rolex! Even if it is more so for the shopping 😂

Its hard. Park far away for self control so you only buy what you can carry 🙂

I’m really really really cheap, so unless the sales are AMAZING, I’m actually disappointingly good at self control.

That’s me as well. I bought a pair of breeches last year bc they were 50% off and I bought my vest there a few years ago, but that’s been it. I scored RJs breeches and a coat stupid cheap the first year I lived here (we had a booth and I could wander early in the week before stuff was sold out) but nothing as good since then

It sounds like there is going to be a large contingent of bloggers going as well!

Those damn spurs. Can’t wait for mine to get here! What are the chances there are spur straps with matching buckles someplace on the interwebs?
