Critters Critters... Everywhere
I don't like setbacks. Long story short, I ended up not selling Amauvia. So now I have two (yes, count them, two) horses. So Amauvia was supposed to be in Tennessee today but it was put off until Aug 26th. I am pretty bummed. I don't like setbacks. Also, as if that isn't bad enough -- I've fallen in love with a third (yes, folks, that's right, a third) horse. Amauvia's half-brother, Muad.
Muad has a very ugly name, but he is actually very beautiful. He is unfortunately half-Arabian... which adds to his beauty of course.. but detracts from his temperament. I think if you mix two warmbloods you get a hotblood. However... according to Muad's owner.. who is also's Amauvia's breeder... Muad has a very great temperament and would be Amauvia's "personality twin"... I have been in talks with Muad's owner, hoping to get a good price on him, because I can't afford.. anything.. and he sent me a few pictures of Muad.. a video of Muad.. and also... some pictures of baby Amauvia! I think this guy is trying to wheedle his way into my good graces so I buy that gelding. And I want to.
Beautiful baby Amauvia.
I really want to.
In other news, this was a very busy weekend! Especially today. We went to the zoo this morning. We then went to the Fair. Then we went jet skiing on the river. Then we went to the Blues Festival! We also went to the fair yesterday... and a tractor pull... But tomorrow is back to work. I can't believe we have to build our house this fall. There's so much work ahead of us! I read this quote one time that said something to the effect of.. if your dreams don't cost you anything, they're just daydreams. I think our expensive dreams must be nightmares? Sigh. I know it will be all worth it in the end.
But you know what is actually really depressing to me? I see no end. I see no end to the amount of critters I want. Really! And it's depressing. It's not like, "Man, if I get this third horse, then I won't want anymore horses." Oh no. Then I'll want a pony for Zane. And maybe I'll still want a Haflinger! And then I'll want to rescue poor old horses no one else wants! And if it isn't horses.. it's bunnies! Do you think I ever see a time in my life where I will stand back and say, "You know, I don't think I really need any more cute little baby bunnies"? Because, folks, that just ain't going to happen, most likely. And if it's not bunnies, it's piglets. Or dogs. Or sheep! Or cows! Who KNOWS how many critters I would really honestly gather around me if I had free rein. It would be Noah gone bad. Really bad!
And that's depressing. In a way. I don't know. I just don't know about me sometimes.
