Was stuck at work working 9-12 hours a day including the weekends, and after 
last year it wasn't something I really was going to object to until it got 
out of hand.. and causing some problem with my health. I've got it moderately 
in hand.. but have to go to work today.... :/
 
 
 
Car problems were a killer.. several personal issues were keeping me buried.. 
then my girlfriends Mom just passed.. so that's another thing that's got me 
buried.
 
 
Of course the fido wars are interesting.. but then nothing I didn't expect.. 
will catch up on them shortly, let's just say that the level at the moment.. 
is ugly.
 
 
(This is the shortform since we have a couple of the problem children reading 
the echo) and a reminder that they do not understand personal and 
confidencial information.. so please do NOT post any in this echo.
 
  
 
> How's Tush and CJ?
 
 
Still seeing the girls everynight with rare exception if only to blanket and 
feed them. If I'm pressed for time Tush just gets turned out.
 
Down to riding only three days a week. Tush is still one of the most 
exceptional horses I've ever had a chance to work. The kid loves to please 
and I've been careful to make sure we move at her pace as we can. Weather has 
also been a serious factor.. never really can tell with El Nino still going. 
Still hoping to show towards the end of the year and get serious with it next 
year.
 
 
Mom has been pretty exceptional and patient with me also.. she's suffering 
due to the time limitations.. but has tolerated it fairly well all things 
considered. Back to turning her out as I can after I warm her up. MSM has 
done the usual wonders... I now have to turn her out before riding since 
she's hot as usual when I get on her. 
 
No, I won't turn them out together.. I do NOT want Tush you pick up on some 
of Mom's bad habits and negative personality traits.. and Mom is a tad 
jealous.
 
Tush is getting a tad silly on occasion in the stall.. a side effect of her 
getting fitter.. :/
 
That's all for right now Folks.. have to run over to Cass's to talk to the 
broker that's coming over today. Then on to the barn.
 
 
Hope all is going well with all of you.. will try to keep an eye on the 
problems and help as I can. Expect some spotty particaption.. the Fido wars 
are going to occupy some time in the near future.
