Perfection

Sometimes everything comes together and works. IT WORKS. I rode my lovely Diesel yesterday in raging winds. I found the time and the energy, quite rare for me. I am still high on that hour long ride. He was amazing. There might have been some shameless dancing involved last night...with the dog and cat...but we won't talk about that!

Diesel was solid and responsive and forward and it felt great. He didn't shy or spook or get lazy. I'm not saying he doesn't have lots of room for improvement, just that it was a vast improvement over our last few rides. I really enjoyed myself. I didn't want to end the ride.

Afterwards, he got a haircut and lots of hugs. He loves the attention. I am so proud of my little boy. His brain does not act like a 9 year old on the ground but he was all about business during the ride. Maybe someday he can be my Prissy. Gotta hit the trails if I want to get him there.

Priss is doing relatively well. She cannot go without her legs wrapped and is unstable but she is improving. She loves to go out to eat in the back yard where there is a bit more grass. Yesterday she trotted in. I hope she is not paying for it today. My life is blessed...by many.
