Small update

Well for a quick short update- 3/19 Was first dog show of the year for us.  Feeling proud of Willow, yes we worked hard but still for not having a trainer or any kind of specialized trainers, to not NQ and not DQ I feel happy, when we place in the ribbons it's just that much better to me.  7 total in my class, 6 showed up and only 3 of us qualified.  We took 3rd place with a score of 189/200.  I didn't ask what I did wrong, I have a feeling I know what some of it was.  But something to improve upon going forward!
Heidi has been good, nothing much to update on there.  At the end of April I've chosen to move her back to dad's at least until the grass wanes again because I'm looking at working a second job and won't leave me much time for her and there's no point to me to keep paying as much for board when I  won't get to see her anyway.  This way will also save dad on gas as he won't have to come get grandma, I'll come out every Saturday, or as close to every Saturday as possible and bring Grandma with me.
Yesterday, 3/25, Dad went through my brakes on my car.  They had been acting kinda squirrelly.  Thankfully the  pads and rotors weren't too bad, they had been replaced not that long ago, since the new ones I had ordered from JC Whitney were not the right ones.  The pads didn't fit and the rotors were not the ones we had thought they were.  Whoops!  I had picked up the Calipers locally so we only ended up going and getting new pads.  Time to return the JC Whitney ones!  The right caliper had started to leak, dad said it wouldn't have one much more than a month anyway.  The car brakes so much better now!

Girls day with Kylie

First thing we did once we were both up was go to the barn.  We had every intention of getting all 4 equines ridden today.
Kylie needed to get on Sabrina again and it's not for a long time so I took Penny.  She needed the saddle time, she gets forgotten more easily.




Then after short rides for Penny and Sabrina we grabbed our drafty girls and got their energy out!





Then after several hours at the barn, well spent, we ran some errands to Lowes for staples(for the air gun), then Kroger for some groceries, and then lastly TSC for some stuff and then we headed for home!  Then we watched Flicka 3-which was really good, and now Dreamer.  Then I think we're both calling it a night!
