Beautiful Mustang: September 2014

http://beautifulmustang.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Life Since Adopting Beautiful Girl. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Horse and Rider, A Poem. Once there was a horse, and on the horse there was a rider. How handsome they looked in the autumn sunlight, approaching a strange city! People thronged the streets or called from the high windows. Old women sat among flowerpots. But when you looked about for another horse or another rider, you looked in vain. My friend, said the animal, why not abandon me? From The Faithful and Virtuous Night. Do you see what I see?

Yukon Yahoos: Aaaaand it's December

http://keeponsledding.blogspot.com/2014/12/aaaaand-its-december.html

Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Ok, I'm back! Between dropping my phone and smashing the crap out of it, and one of the dogs getting a hold of it (ok, so it fell out of my pocket in one of their pens) and using as a chew toy, let's just say it's been difficult to post.

And now is a big fan of acupuncture. Or warmer. And I h...

Beautiful Mustang: Beautiful's Story

http://beautifulmustang.blogspot.com/p/beautifuls-story.html

Life Since Adopting Beautiful Girl. Beautiful was born in the Summer of 2007 at Beatty's Butte, Oregon. She was just a baby at her mother's side when she was captured in the round-up. I can only guess how traumatic that was for her being that young. She has a long, gnarly scar on her hind end that makes me think something did not go right for her during it. I started to speak in earnest to the volunteer. What was it like gentling? Could I do it? Did I have the right equipment to take her home? After sign...

Beautiful Mustang: February 2015

http://beautifulmustang.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Life Since Adopting Beautiful Girl. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Gallop: A Poem by Idaho Poet Robert Wrigley. The yellow pines thrash their manes. And rear. You can almost hear. Beneath their stationary hooves. The billion root-hairs clench and click,. The nicker and neigh, the nowhere wind. Goes by on the way to nowhere else,. Bringing joy and hysteria to the trees. In the interludes between gusts. They shuffle and sway then stand. Almost immobile in the downpour. Branch bobbing like a twitched flank,.

Yukon Yahoos: Simple Pets

http://keeponsledding.blogspot.com/p/my-pet-is-weird.html

Inspired by a post on Reddit. About some pets being not terribly bright, I've started a new blog. For all things that are weird about our "genius" pets! Not just mine, but other people's pets as well, with some wild animals thrown in for good measure. If you have a weird/dumb-as-a-post pet and want to share, send your photos to me. To start us off, my very own special/weird dog, Pooh Bear the astronaut! I think she is the #1 SIMPLE pet, don't you! Head to www.simplepets.tumblr.com. A one of a kind dog.
