meanwhile, back at the ranch...

while some friends are off to a nice, warm, sunny place...i get to hang out with their horses, dogs, and cats. it's great! doing the chores, feeding all the creatures, the smell of the barn...i absolutely love it all. really, i do :) there's something fun and satisfying about getting up in the morning, and going out to the horses that are neighing for some food.

so here's the crew...meet the horses: winnie cooper, captain, franky, and becca. meet the dogs: muffin and wallace, as in william wallace :) and the cats: moonlight, ivy, and pumpkin. even though cats aren't my fav animal, i decided that life as a farm cat could be pretty sweet. i was watching ivy pounce all around the gigantic stack of hay, and it just looked like so much fun! and they climp up in the rafters and jump around from here to there. they don't have it so bad :)
