The heat has been unbearable for weeks; in th high 90's, and I couldn't ride. It wasn't good for him to stand and get fat, as he was doing. So I sold him to someone I know who believes in natural horse training, and has a shady 5 acres and only 4 other horses. He will be well cared for and some rough edges smoothed out. My son is still with me and although he got his NM Journeyman's license, he's still waiting for work. And I can't support my son and keep the horse, either. I'm feeling a bit lost right now. The puppy is some consolation as she's so funny. She bops around the house and plays with La Nena. That was my purpose in getting her. Nenny Bennenny has be quiet and lacking dogly company since Hershey died, and she's warming up to Corazon. There's no movement on my house, which was not unexpected. By the time my friend is ready to sell his house [to me] early next year there may be some activity. Theres' too many foreclosed houses on the market in a buyers' market, so until that pool has dried up...Life runs its course.
