No, sadly I don't get to go horseback riding nearly as much as I used to. Finances don't allow for it, nor does my job that has me working every weekend allowing for no free time. Hopefully by winter we will have a puppy of some sort, our lease is up soon at the apartment and we're looking to move else where. Once we move and settle in to the new place we can start thinking about getting a K9 companion. Buying a horse won't happen any time soon. A while back I contemplated making a purchase on a nice 4 year old bay Arabian gelding, went to check him out at the barn and fell in love with him. Gorgeous, gorgeous boy - his barn name was Buckwheat, hehe. A lady down in Illinois ended up buying him for her daughter to start showing in halter class. I'm very glad I ended up not buying him, I'd be in a huge mess of trouble now seeing how money is tight. I don't get to work at the horse camp any more, I've been banned and was almost taken to court, since I shed the light on the horses not being properly taken care of.

Sammy and Dudley are my parent's kitties, I desperately tried talking mom & dad in to letting me have Sammy - that conversation didn't last more than 2 minutes! Sammy is chubbier than ever and Dudley is now 11 years old - but is more active and spunkier than Sam.
