This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> But isn't it fun to HAVE them at home so they can watch you and get you up? I remember, Cynthia, When you were boarding your horses and while It may have been more convenient to be able to travel, it certainly is a different relationship than when you have them at your home! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, glad you folks are enjoying our Alaskan gift of cold air! It warmed up to +10 and snow this morning! My bedroom window is about 15 feet from the pasture fence. Every monring I wake up to Tank trying to levitate me out of bed. He hears my alarm clock and the more I hit the snooze button, the more he whinnies at me. Then the dogs get into the act (one mouthy miniature schnauzer and 2 giant schnauzers). They start barking when Tank starts to whinny. I have no chance. If I ignore everybody, I just get a large dog nose in my face sometimes accompanied by a very large paw. I usually give up and get up before 6 a.m. (even weekends). and...no, it doesn't do any good to leave the alarm clock off, they have their own! This morning the mini had me up at 5:20.

When it's dinner time, (in his humble opinion), Tank,moves to the living room window and stares at me. Sometimes I think I am living in the people barn as much as I see the horses staring in the window and observing us. I used to feed my Morgan in the front yard so Tank wouldn't eat his grain. When finished, he would come right up to the living room window and stare in until I came out to put him back in the pasture so he could get his share of the hay. -- Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NFHR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/cmadden88011 Dogs (and horses, cm) are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras Sarchasm (n) The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

Re: Generous Jean
This message is from: "jgayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cynthia, I notice my grumpy Gunnar, (who actually let me kiss him on the nose yesterday) shakes badly when he sees me on the way to get him food. (He is my only horse now) We have had 20 degree weather last five days and snow, one foot. But it is not the cold. If I stop to pet the dogs the delay gets him riled. "How dare you, I am the important one here! When will you learn!) So when I finally figured it out, I call to him as soon as I step out the door. He (excuse me) hears me flush the toilet when I first get up and is standing at the gate seeing how long it will take me to get to him.. If I talk to him, on the way, and show him how important he is, there is no shaking. Fjords!

RE: Generous Jean
This message is from: "Cynthia Madden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, the cold got all the way to southern New Mexico this a.m. It was 19 degrees at the house this morning. I did remember to plug in the water heater, but did forget to insulate the hose. Oh well, they had water this a.m. and it will warm up to 40 soon this morning. Of course, the cold is hanging around all weekend as usual! Teddy, who is now at Starfire Farm for training has been shivering all week but since he was born there, I am sure he is fine but training for Beth must be cll! -- Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NFHR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/cmadden88011 Dogs (and horses, cm) are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras Sarchasm (n) The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

"Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, cloudy and +6: We sent the cold arctic air down to you folks!" I just don't know how to thank you, Jean, for sending down some of your very own cold arctic air. What can I say, except thanks for sharing I can't say I recall another time when I had to wear long underware and two layers of socks to almost stay warm in my house! You are welcome to take it back.
