Rain, rain go away

Finally!! After a full week of clouds, rain, and dreary weather WE HAVE SUN!!! Ok, so we did have a few hours of sun last Monday and um, I'm sure one other day! But the sun has been out ALL morning. And of course I slept through it all. But it's absolutely gorgeous out.

Not too much going on. It's been so dreary I haven't done much with the horses. I was planning on messing with the horses yesterday but right as I as crawling out of bed, it started to rain. DRAT! I ended up spending an hour in the rain messing with the horses and being completely drenched by the time I finally came in the house.

But I did give the horses their 3-way shot. I still need to order the rabies. I can't figure out what's wrong with me this year. I'm behind by about two months. I was going to have the rabies vaccine ordered months ago and I still don't have it done. Guess that's what I'll do after I finish here.

The farrier was supposed to come out yesterday but it was so wet and cold that we decided to postpone it to today. So today Dude, Skippy, and Tommy are getting trimmed. I want the farrier to look at King's feet. I think he's about due for a trim and new shoes. I also want the farrier to look at Bob and Sam. Bob hasn't been done since last fall and I think he's due. I don't know when the last time Sam was done but I'm afraid it was April of 2008. He wears his feet weird so I'm not sure if he'll need it or not. But I want the farrier to decide. Maverick could probably use a trim too but he's not ready yet. I don't have him where he will willingly pick up his feet. And if I'm not comfortable handling his feet yet, I'm darn tooting not going to let my farrier mess with him either. I dont't think it's fair. I'm hoping soon to get Maverick ready for a trim.

It's too nice to be inside, so I'm going to go order my rabies stuff and then head outdoors for a few hours to enjoy the nice weather. I've heard reports that only Saturday and Sunday are going to be nice and then back to rain. Booo.
