The week in summation....

This week has been eventful, unfortunately not all events were pleasant.

The energy around the house leading up to Thanksgiving has been odd to say the least. Hubby has been in Oregon for the past week and that always makes me out of sorts when he is not around. One of the cat's injured his paw and tracked blood in the kitchen and took some time to locate the source of the blood. The cat was none to pleased to have me wiping the wound and cleaning it. Thankfully Sherry was handy to hold him while I worked on him.
Cheyenne's little pet and friend, Kittsipimi passed away and it was difficult watching her trying to take care of him as he was going. She was patient and trying to feed him high protein food with a syringe as well as making sure he got down water. She talked to him all night and held him so she was with him when he passed. I was very proud of her in the way she handled the situation and him. She picked a lovely spot on the property near a beautiful tree and buried him there. Her project this weekend is to make a paving stone with his name and etc. on it to place over his grave. It makes me very proud of the young lady she is becoming when she shows such maturity and compassion in instances of this nature. She understood that for him being 3 years old was equivalent to a human being 90 years old...so she could spend quality time with him and understand his passing.

Meanwhile, the workouts have been so-so as the weather has been very rainy, windy and cold. Not the type of weather you want to get out in and get heated up. But, this is winter and I have plenty of time to get with the program and make my goal of the Emerald Cup in 2008. So I am not worrying too much over it right now.

Husband has located a wonderful piece of property in Cave Junction, Oregon, that we are going to take a look at. It is perfect for our needs and provides everything that 'Doc' (my new horse) could need. A nice barn area with hay storage, paddock and turn out area and a great fenced pasture area for him. So, we will be checking into the property and such in the next week.

Meanwhile, the Thanksgiving cooking begins today and carries on through the night. :)
