That all sounds good. My step son's family is owner training a dog as well - hand in hand with a professional trainer - they have their first dog , who is doing great, they got him at about 9 months old, he is my grandson's dog. They are getting a second puppy to train for my granddaughter. Glad to hear that Spring is doing well!

Good, I hope he works out for you. Does your daughter still have her service dog? Is this dog for your son? I have missed some threads here...

Love the photos. You have a real talent for horse training, NN!

Grimmie - that was a doozy! Hope your son heals quickly and of course, Lyra is such a cutie-pie!

LC - best of luck with your surgery! A friend of mine had her gall bladder removed and her experience was that you just need to take it easy for 2 weeks, don't push yourself, she felt almost 100% at the 2 weeks point. Take care!

Nice to her from you - hope that things get better for you and yours. I don't share a lot here, but we are doing fine in CT - my horse, now 21, had a bad leg injury that required stitches and for him to stay in his stall for several weeks, and now he is coughing and has had 2 episodes of heaves. We are soaking his hay, and he is now turned out with the herd all day, and on an allergy med, so hopefully this will pass and not be chronic. Minimal riding here due to injury, heat, travel and family commitments - but all is good. Take care!

LC - my favorite Netflix British mystery show is Happy Valley - check it out if you haven't seen it. It's like Broadchurch, but better. Themes are pretty dark, though, great characters. We love historical fiction and the Last Kingdom is amazing.

LC, so sorry for your loss of Libby - so glad she had you so she could enjoy her final years. Saying goodbye is the hardest part of loving our horses and other pets.

LC - so sorry to hear about Libby. So glad she had you to love her and vice versa. Sending you a big hug.

Sounds like a good home for your two - hope they are happy there and that you are happier too.

QB - so sorry that this has happened, Heidi and others have given good advice. Thinking of you!

Thanks PD!

Heidi - Best of luck with Gallardo - so glad he is with you, I am sure he will do fine in your care. LC - we also do the egg cracking contest on Easter! Queen - Love the experiences you give your cowgirls, your horses and yourself!

LC - thanks for the fun list! QB - nice to have an enthusiastic new horse girl!

So glad your clinic went well! Loved the video with Solo taking the lead!
