Alas, romance crashes to the ground and burns
Before getting to my tale of woe, things here at the farm have been going fast and furious with some fun thrown in. I have ridden Cody which is just great for me and gives me such peace and happiness. We have had several dogs boarded here and a little terrier we named Chewy left with us to find a home. Friends are working on finding a home for Chewy who is so adorable.
Now.... romance. A friend is still a friend so all is not lost but it is time to start dating again. A man who is settled and secure with himself and wants a deeper relationship. Of course taunting the man who wanted a "friendly relationship" instead of a real one will be fun.

Wrapping up the chaos and getting things done
We had a total of 14 dogs here the past few days. Nine dogs from one family were in the kennel and they went home Sunday evening. Yesterday was a clean up day for the barn and the block building and things started to look normal again.
Today, I spent mostly mowing and cleaning up the tall grass beyond the parking area. It looks much better now and I also hooked up an extra hose for water in the pasture, mowed along the bank as far as I could along the driveway, chopped down a Sumac sapling, moved old gates out of the way and used a small rake implement on the little tractor to level out some manure and tall grass.
I took some baling twine and rigged a post to keep pressure on it so the split rail fencing wouldn't fall again. I tied the twine to the two posts and used a stick to twist it tight. I have one more place I want to fix on the fence and I will be happy. Ben came down and helped Kylie move some more rubber gravel over in front of the kennel area.
Mare Girl got her stitches out and surprised the Vet at the door as Mare Girl was ready to go out. She is very spirited now and is putting on weight. She charged one of the geldings with her mouth open, spun and kicked as high as she could. I am happy to see the spunk in her and to see her eyes bright.
Tomorrow I hope to get some house cleaning done and I will feel like everything is right in the world at least for a day or two.

A record month for Kindred Acres
Tomorrow we will have 13 dogs kenneled here because of the vacation season. We finished up a three week job for pet sitting tonight off the farm and it was just in time for kennel chaos! We are also checking on a sick goat once a day this week and helping flush a couple of abscesses.
We are also getting booked for the next three months which is again awesome. I love what I do and especially here on the farm between caring for dogs and horses. I meet great people and their pets are all unique and sweet. They teach me new things all the time!
I have to stop and thank God for His mercy and many blessings in my life. I have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful, exciting life.
