Easy Farm Life

Week three…book review

/ Mya / 12 Comments
Hello Everyone! It has been a busy few weeks for me and I\’m going to make every effort in visiting all my friends this weekend and try to get caught up!! Although, this weekend is my daughter\’s baby shower and I have a wedding shower on Saturday!!
I have read a couple of chapters in the Scent of the Missing while I was at Six Flags on Saturday! I still LOVE the book. In one of the chapters, she was talking about thinking like your dogs…right….think about it, they have sixth senses and sometimes we do have to use our sixth sense in some incidences. Now I\’m onto the training of Puzzle, I don\’t think I mentioned that to you, but Puzzle is the dog\’s name. They start to train the SAR dogs at a very young age, as soon as the dogs get their shots, they are in training.

Did you know that SAR dogs can demonstrate any number of nose-driven skills…(page 58)
Air-scent, living or dead, fire, disaster sites, wilderness places and on and on.

So again, I love this book and I came up with a good idea…if you would like me to send this USED book to you, just leave me a comment that you would like to read this book, when I\’m through with my book review, I will pick a name out of the doggy bowl and then you can read it! Kind of like a Paw it Forward, but with a book! I\’m keeping it in good shape too!

I will have week four next Tuesday…if all goes as planned!

Walking into Six Flags, I saw this licence plate! Can you believe it! A true lover of Six Flags, I\’m sure of it!

Have a great day!

Hey, what is all this going on!

What a cute little chipmunk and I\’m sure he was wondering what was going on with all the smoke the past few days~ The little critters were very lucky in the woods that this fire was only a brush fire that was mainly on the ground. It was large in our standards, about three acres were smoldering.


The trucks were just called again yesterday because a tree was still smoldering and we didn\’t want it to start up again. Fortunately, we are expecting rain so that will help the firemen!
We hope you all have a happy Wednesday!

Lucky and the Horse Whisperer

Howdy Friends! Busy week this week! I can\’t believe it\’s Saturday, never mind the middle of August. The summer is going by so fast and although I love the fall, this summer has been beautiful for us in the North East! But that is coming from someone who LOVES the heat and humidity!
It was time to call in a horse trainer for Lucky. She is a little shy and needed some work. This is my daughter\’s fiance and he is really working with her. The trainer is teaching him how to go in and out of the stall. I normally do not go in the stall with the horses, they are much bigger than us and they rule in my world. But there is a right way and a wrong way to enter the stall. If the horse shows you his hiny, then get out!
Lucky can\’t stand to be sprayed with bug spray. The trick is to rub the horse down with the spray bottle and make fake noises…guess what…it worked! After several times, Lucky did get use to it and now will allow you to spray her.
This women is the horse trainer. She is so good. She is to me the \”Horse Whisperer!\” She was teaching us how to wash her down with the hose. Lucky didn\’t like that too much either.
We had some bad excitement at the house tonight. The back woods were on fire when we got home and the firemen think we lost about 3 acres of woods. This is the water company land but it runs right behind our house. You know, when I got out of the car I said it smelled like someone is having a camp fire. I didn\’t know the woods were on fire. My neighbor came running over and thankfully all is well. I will have to see what happened in the morning.

xxoo

Just for laughs!

This very cute joke just came over the Internet from the local tack shop and I thought it was pretty funny…

Little Jackie attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse\’s legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Jackie asked, \’Dad, why are you doing that?\’ His father replied, \’Because when I\’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Jackie, looking worried, said, \’Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom ….\’

Cute joke!!

Have a great day!

PS. My book club is running late this week! Working too many hours to catch up on my reading!!
