I dropped some grated cheese on the floor while I was making a quesadilla for lunch. I made sure it was scattered around, and called the dogs in to clean it up. It took them about three minutes to eat all the cheese, and another ten minutes to assure themselves that they hadn’t left any.
Fitness Test
Yesterday, for the first time since before Christmas, I was able to take the dogs on a walk up the hill behind our house. Since we lived here, this hill, which is very steep, has been my test for how fit I am. If I have to stop more than once, I am very unfit. If I can get up with one stop, I am somewhat unfit. Yesterday, I walked up briskly, without even slowing my pace except to navigate a few spot that are still snow-covered. I could probably even have carried on a conversation, if there had been anyone there but the dogs. I am in better shape now than before Christmas, which means all those boring sessions with the video tapes and the elliptical glider did their job.

Colder here this morning.
A New Syndrome
My friend Susan, the Neon Nurse, has described a new syndrome: Predicted Snow Traumatic Syndrome. I have been battling it myself. At least the weather was mild enough today that I could ride both Hap and Lily, since it might be another month before I can get back on a horse.

Another Chinook Sunrise

I woke up to the sound of the chinook this morning. At least they weren’t strong enough to dismantle the house, or even distress the Collie.
Danny (but mostly Hap)

This detail is from Danny, a small paint-arabian cross who is my trainer’s school horse.
Today, the weather was fabulous. It was so beautiful that I threw the bareback pad on Hap and see if he was still absolutely the best bareback pony in Colorado.
