Oh my gosh, be careful Beth, on your horse. What is your horses's name. Is it
a he or a she? I I love horses. A friend of mine that has since moved away to
GA had a retired race horse that she often invited me out to the stable where
she kept him to ride. He was very sweet and also beautiful (what horse isn't,
beautiful creatures), but we could not pet him on his nose, the place where
most horses love you touching them, because his former owner who only cared
about the profit he could make from the horse, had beaten him there. We had to
be so careful in his stall, doing things around him, because if you just raised
your hand a teeny bit, her sweet horse would immediately draw back and look
worried...so sad. It made me feel sick to think of this gorgeous animal being
treated so terribly. We have a fifteen year old fluffy little half-persian cat
(about a year old the vet said when we found her) but always so tiny we
wondered if her
growth was stunted from being on her own for so long) my son and I found while
roller blading, and to this day I can get my broom out to sweep without her
running away, even though no one has ever chased her with one in our home.
People! It does seem coyotes and mountains lions are getting so much bolder
now than ever before and probably because we have invaded so much of their
living space. I always feel a little sad when people expect to be able to
pitch a tent overnight in the large parks, Yosemite, etc., and they are so
stunned and surprised when a bear attacks them, and sadder yet, when someone
hunts the bear down and kills it when it was where it was supposed to be, doing
what it is supposed t,in its own habitat. It's us that need to give them back
their space, but we keep taking more and more and more. I wish there were more
protected reserves for wild animals and areas that people should not be
allowed, if only at their own risk.
Wow, that must have really been a shock, coming upon coyotes pups, and glad
you knew enough to not linger. Did the lady survive that you're talking about,
as I seem to remember a story where one woman did not. And was it a mountain
lion, because I am thinking they found out it had attacked a man on a bike just
before the lady that did not survive. Maybe it's a totally different story
though.
Sorry I am so far behind, so much going on here at home, but I am so glad the
parking lot doggies did get rescued and are off the streets. Such great work
you girls accomplished.!! Well, you can't take them all home even though your
heart would like to, and righly so that you are a lot leery after the all that
went on with transmitting kennel cough to little Smidgen. Hope she is still
improving.

Hi Lynn, Oh I have been riding for a long time. But I have had Classy 18 years,
and she is a good girl. We have a bond. She needs a firm but gentle experienced
rider. I got her when she was 4, and she just turned 22.
They all seem to have there own little quirks in them. Classy has never been a
supper effectionate horse, but she loves to be scratched in her favorit spots.
Yes I think we are thinking about the same Cougar attack. I know in one attack,
a lady did survive, but her face was really scard up.
Any more I am afraid to walk the dogs in my neighborhood do to lose dogs, I
worry me or my dogs will get attacked.
I haven't heard any updates about the parking lot dogs, hoping they are doing
good.
Beth
