Goat jumps!

So I haven't figured out how to put youtube videos on here yet. So go to this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb9CsB7i_5Y&feature=sub. Cindy is jumping and is freaking hilarious!!!!

Keepsake

Ok go to youtube.com/user/gratexpectations and check out the two new videos on my favorites list of me and Keepsake. It is the $1000 Derby and the $1500 Jumper Classic. That mare is freaking amazing. I love her!!!

Animal horror!

This is Anne's puppy that we are watching. Unfortunately, her sister's baby passed away so she had to go to California for a few days.

This is the new family portrait.

This is the girls looking hot for a night out on the town.

This is me looking smoking hot and my boyfriend :)

And then..... today did not go so well. The goat was kicked in the head by one of Patty's belligerent horses. I thought she was okay originally. I thought she was kicked in the side, but then Marge informed me it was right in the head. Slowly her eye started to swell up.

Then....she started getting more and more listless. And then the nose started to bleed. So now I am sure that her brain is swelling and she is dying. It took me at least an hour to locate a vet that did goats. We made our way to Ogden with the goat on my lap in the front seat. I swore she was going to die in my arms. She was breathing weird and coughing and snorting weird.

No this is not a death picture of her empty house. She survived! The doc said she was very lucky not to have fractured her skull. It did break some blood vessels and cartilage in her nose which is why the nose was bleeding. Her eye will be ok it will not be lost. She had a hell of a concussion.
The vet gave her pain meds and antibiotics and then informed me she had lice LOL. So we were treated for lice.
Then the dog. Look closely and you can see the gash on his leg. I noticed a lump on his leg a while back and finally took him in yesterday to get checked out. Erik wanted to remove it today so he went in first thing.
It was not a fatty tumor so the fluid and the flesh will be sent in for a biopsy. I think it will be fine. It has not grown and it was just on the surface of his skin. But we will know for sure in a few days.

To top the day off we had a regular vet check for all the horses at the barn to have shots and worming. If I total the days vet costs I am in the five hundreds LOL. Could have been a lot worse and thank God for Erik giving the half off family discount.

Cindy Lou Kingston

Cindy Lou Kingston is the newest addition to the Hugoe/Tilley household. Sean wanted a goat for the garden and JoLyn and I wanted a pet. We went to the fair and picked a beautiful runt pygmy goat out but the dude wanted 300 dollars. Brian said we could get it but we waited until the next morning. While we were at the barn I asked Jeremy Kingston, our stall cleaner, if they had goats. They did so we went over to the Kingston compound and picked one out.


This is Cindy Lou. She kept her last name cause we liked it better than ours with her name LOL. She has been so good. She doesn't like to stay in the garden, she escapes, but she is secure in the backyard. She rides in the truck good and spent today at the barn. She was so mellow! Just followed me around all day and slept under the picnic table. Never wandered off or anything! She is very precious. She is a Lamancha goat and as you can see she has very small ears :)

She i so beauty. She got a bath and a brand new collar with her own name tag.

She doesn't like it in here! But apparently she found a way out so she doesn't have to be in there anymore.

Colorado

Well it's been a week since we got back from a horse show in Parker, CO. I took Megan and Tori and their horses Jade and Jazz. It was an awesome week. There were amazing horses and riders there. Our horses managed to place in several classes with 20-30 horses in them! But above everything else we just had a great time.

Brian and his son came for the weekend while we were there and Tori's parents were there so we had good company. Of course I brought my camera but forgot the battery. Here are a few pictures I took from my phone and video. Megan will be making a youtube video of the weekend and I will post that when she finishes.

My dog was the highlight of our trip. We decided we will have really made it if we ever have a horse as well trained and as beautiful as the dog! His show name is now Beaverwood's Hillcrest. And he is a very fancy jumper. Just take a look! You will also see that he has a monkey on his back that rides him.

These are the kind of setups that the barns put up for the weeks that they are at these horse shows. Very fancy and very expensive.

Happy Fathers Day!

Well first and foremost Happy Father's Day to my Dad all all the men who had a hand in raising me. I just want to give a shout out to Nate for being a great dad to his girls and me :) And I want to give Richard an honerable mention for being the step dad to all five of us hoodlums. I miss my dad a lot today.


This is me and Jo with my friend Anne last night. We had a little girls night out....well Sean and a friend tagged along.

This is my dingo in our pond out back of our house. JoLyn brought some fish and frogs over that Colton caught and butch is fishing for them.......

Erie Vacation

Angie summed the Erie trip up fabulous for me, but I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures from the trip. We had such a good time and it was so good to see the Barnes Family and their new home! Thanks to Brian and the Barnesesesses family for making my weekend perfect :)
