I Won An Award!

Every now and then we all need a little boost, a word of encouragement that we are doing the right thing. The most effective of these comes out of nowhere! That's what Victoria Cummings has done for me with this award.

I admit to feeling a little overwhelmed lately with Clifford's knee problem. He is worse this year than ever. I am saturated with options and advice, but continue to take one day at a time, in what I hope is a progressive effort to treat him in an intelligent way.

A love for a special horse is so different from any other kind of love. It is so good to have the support of those who understand this. Thank you Victoria!

The Excellent Blog Award!

Many thanks to my fellow blogger, Gecko the Aussie, of Geckomusings, for the award! I am so honored. It's funny too because I've had Australia on the brain a lot lately. My cousin who has a farm in New South Wales is currently visiting. My friend Kristi, who lives just down the road, has taken a trip there and is Down Under today. Last year I was contacted by an old friend I knew in Alaska, back in the eighties! Guess where she lives now... Right! Australia!

Then of course, there is my lovely Aussie shepherd, Ms. Ripple, although I hear they don't really hail from Australia. And I just finished blogging about Skidboot, the famous half Australian cattle dog.

I suspect there is a trip to Australia in my future. I don't know when or how... But I'll get there!

Thank you Gecko for the award!
