Oops I Did It Again

I could totally stop if I wanted to.

This afternoon I am off to pick up the latest Blonde Bomber (blonde in name only). I often describe Tanner as an oversized yellow lab; this guy is the black lab version. He's calm, sweet, and a little dopey. Exactly like Tanner.

I figured I would get a horse this spring or summer so that friends can go riding with me, so I sent an email to Lupine Farm's Emily to keep an eye out for a horse that had the attributes I was looking for. She pretty much immediately sent me this guy's info. Thanks (curses?) to Emily for finding him!

Casey (Jax's owner) came with me to check him out, and it was a done deal the moment I got in the saddle.

Introducing the Horse With No Name:

His current name is Black Jack but since we already have a Jax here at BB Acres, he needs a new name. Suggestions??

In related news: You guys, I am ridiculously proud of myself. When I went to hook up the trailer this morning, I found that the stand had broken through the piece of wood it was standing on and sunk 6-8" into the mud. That meant the hitch wasn't high enough to attach it to the truck. But instead of collapsing on the ground and crying, which is what I felt like doing, I took the jack out of the roadside tire change kit, assembled it, figured out how it worked, and jacked that mothertrucker up. All in half an hour. Hooah!
