Didn’t get as good a night sleep as we might have, I didn’t put Lola in the truck tonight, and she grew increasingly restless, scratching at the door to get out, as well as scratching at the bedroom door. When she started having a barking fit and wouldn’t quiet down, I finally got up, put my bathrobe on and put her in the truck. I don’t know what we’re going to do next week when the temps drop down in the teens (fingers crossed the forecast is wrong!), but for last night, she went into the truck. She doesn’t seem to mind, she buries herself deep into her luxury bed, but I don’t know if that will be enough when it’s so much colder. Wait and see! Rain came in around 4:00 a.m. and was steady most of the day, but I did manage to slip in between a few breaks to feed the horses and get them out in the pasture. Even though it was raining, the temps were still fairly warm, so I wasn’t worried. Dialyzed Hubby in the afternoon and watched some old westerns, a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon! When it was time for the horses to come, I had a bit of a scare. When I called Apollo, he answered with his usual whinny and headed my way, but there was no sign of Flash! Usually he’s within a few yards of him, but I couldn’t see him anywhere. Finally, just as Apollo was making his final approach to the gate, Flash popped up over the top of a hill and came running towards us. I had put Flash’s halter down in the barn, so I decided to try something. I put Apollo’s halter on, and just opened the gate, hoping Flash would follow, and he most certainly did! He headed toward the wrong barn, though, but stopped at the door as if to say, “This isn’t right!,” then when Apollo and I got into the right barn, he came trotting over. Apollo went straight into his stall, and as Flash came up the aisle, I just waved him into his stall, though it looked liked he was going in there anyway. Fabulous! They are both such good horses, and I can’t wait until we’re back on the road in a horse camp so we can be riding again! The rain stopped and a cold wind came in, we’re expecting freezing temps by morning. Brrr! Wish we were already in Florida!! Won’t be long now, though, can’t wait! Hubby headed to bed early, not feeling too well, but we have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow, hopefully we can get him fixed up. Off to bed for me now!
