Thunderwolf Ranch

It has been a month, wow.

It is hard to believe it has been a month since my last post.   So much has been going on.  Jeffie is back living here with us and his sister Maddie stays a few nights here ans there, like tonight.  Shayna graduated high school almost 2 weeks ago, still hard to believe.  2 daughter graduated and the baby has only 2 more years until she does, .  Where has the time gone?   I have been talking and seeing an old best friend of mine Robin and she is auntie to our girls. We had a falling out a few years ago about money.  We breed our mare to her stallion and paid her 1/2 but were unable to pay her the other 1/2 for 3 weeks, due to we used that money to pay for husbands grandma's medicine that she could not afford.   We thought she would understand, we were wrong.  Robin is now teaching baby bean how to ride English after riding western or bare-back her whole life. It is good to see her and renew our friendship.

I have been to the foot Dr. and he is not happy with the way my leg is healing.  On my x-rays you can see two different breaks that are nowhere near healed! .  He does not know what to do at this time, I see him again next week for an update.  But I have been seeing an acupuncturist and they have really helped with the swelling of my leg and getting the color back to simi normal.   The foot Dr. said I could ride again and I kinda tried today.  I got on Cody from the tail-gate of my truck and it felt real funny, I had no balance.  My baby daughter (16 yrs) lead me around for about 10 minutes and then I got off.  I have not ridden Cody in close to a year or more.  Shannon my hubby would not let me ride my pony Pops yet, because he is a ornery and fun to ride.  Shannon want to make sure my leg is healed more before I ride Pops.  I have not ridden him in 6 months!  I rode a few day before I broke my leg.   So I started working on Pops to get him back in shape after sitting for 6 months, it was good exercise for us both.  I will keep doing ground work with Pops until I get an ok.   I hope I do soon.  

Hubby and I were watching t.v last night and there is a show called "it's me or the dog", I told him to never tell me that because he wont win that one! .  I told him I could understand if my dogs were mean to him and tore up the house, but how they are forget it!  I would never give my Hope up! Hope is my picture on this site and the doggy love of my life!!  She has saved my life and is my protector.  Hubby did say though that when we are down to 5 dogs I can get my giant rottie , we have 7 dogs at this time.  So I am on the summer or fall of 09 breeding waiting list.  The girls think that is hord, but we do have Marty a soon to be 14 yr old Golden who is slowing down.  Marty is a service dog.  Then we have Freckles who is a soon to be 15 yr old Queensland Heeler.  Freckles is not doing so good.  She has a hard time walking , she falls down a lot, we do not think she will live to winter, we hope she does but we just do not know.   So the Rottie puppy will not be here until some time in 2010.   I am still looking for a few good Goldens to add to our breeding program and of few other breeds.   As most of you know I breed service dogs.

That all for today. God Bless you all, mj
