Change


My apologies for the blurr, but my dog is hilarious trying to keep warm. He would not leave my coats side all day. Marge is in the background. She laid a blanket down for him on the right, but he just wanted my coat.





He needs a heavier coat. He was still shivering in this one.


Well there are a lot of changes going on around here! Winter is here for one. Butch was freezing cold yesterday. He wore his coat all day and tried to lay on my coat and blankets around the barn to stay warm. I will be investing in a heavier coat for him.




I spoke with the gal that owns Chili, the horse I just got, and I have secured a year with her and then I will try to buy her or sell her. I will need close to $50k so please start funds at your local bank for me ha ha!




I met a nice guy..... I think ;). Friend of a friend. We have been spending a lot of time together so hopefully he is not sick of me.




Oh and.......America has voted and Barack Obama is our next President! I was half tempted not to even go to the polls as I knew my vote would not count in Utah. And then I snapped out of it and realized what a great opportunity it was to go have a voice. And you can't complain if you don't vote! I am thrilled with the outcome of the election. I have heard people around here say that Obama will turn us to socialism or communism. I heard them say he will be assassinated before he ever gets to the white house. I heard them say he will ban ALL guns. But I believe those are ignorant comments. He wants to 'share' the wealth. He is not going to take the rich peoples money, he is just not going to give them all the tax breaks. Which they don't need!!! He wants us all to have health care! YES! That is so exciting for me, because I do not have benefits as I am self employed. It was very expensive and hard for me to find coverage. I hope he changes that. I think we hear comments about assassination with every new President. "If he wins I hope someone kills him" that sort of thing. It is a possibility for sure, but it is with every President. That is why they are protected the way they are. And I believe he will make a competent decision on guns. I don't think you are not going to be able to go hunting anymore...lol. I just think that he will make an effort to not make them so readily available. But you have to be ignorant to not want some kind of change from President Bush. He has the whole country in the 'shitter'. It is always a bit scary when we elect a new President. We never know what will happen, but we survive. So let us not be afraid. Embrace change!! And what an amazing time for Americans. We had an African American and a woman on the ballot this year!!

Well, for heaven sake I hope Butchie gets a new warm coat soon. He does look dapper in that one he has on.

What is he doing laying around any way? He is a working dog and should be out running up a sweat! LOL

Marge is cute. I hope to meet her someday when I am not at a dead run.

I love a dog in a warm coat, that is for sure! I know baby appreciates hers, and no one can tell me otherwise!

Exciting times!! I can't wait until the door hits Bush in the ass on his way out of office, it can't happen fast enough in my HUMBLE opinion!!

Poor butch! And poor Peanut! I am an idiot and decided to give her a little haircut, on the day before it snowed!!! Looks like another dog may need a coat!

I am proud of you for voting Denise. I voted many elections in Utah knowing my vote would not matter, but we MUST do it any ways. It is a right that too many people take for granted.

I miss you and Butchie...hopefully we will get to see you sometime soon...it would be a lot easier if you lived somewhere TROPICAL, but its hard to want to pay money to go somewhere cold. I think Australia would be a lovely place for you to relocate your business to!!!
