Yesterday Abbie had a "well baby check" with a visiting nurse from the hospital. (yes, they actually sent someone up from York)... and it turned out to be a dear and long time friend, Katie...who I have known for years via the dog world. Katie pronounced "excellent" with both Abbie and Sadie. Since the day was absolutely beautiful, and Sadie is getting a little "house bound", we decided to take Abbie down to the farm to show her where she is going to live and introduce her to the animals....
I'm not sure what's up with the ladybugs!!!! They are absolutely everywhere!!! and even though I like them very much.. they're kind of annoying. Just coming in from outside, you almost need to take the time to brush them off. They certainly liked the warm side of the house and barn, and considering that they are "lucky", we'll invite all the ones that would like to stay!!!!
Ed has fired up the outside wood furnace and we have heat in the house now. We need to.. since the plumber has finished his work and there is also water in the house... we're keeping it on a low temperature, just enough to take off the chill, and it's working very well. The house has a nice "feeling" about it... oh I can't wait to live there....
We had lunch together.........
Then went down to the barn to do chores and show Abbie around. We wanted to be sure that Mocha got to meet her "new owner"... course if the "new owner" had been awake.. well, that might have been a little more interesting. But Mocha seemed interested (or maybe it was just the funny hat that she was looking at!!!) Either way, one day if someone asks Abbie, "when where you first around horses".. she can truly say... "I was 5 days old".........
AND... you just know we had to get a photo opt of Abbie and chicken (who inspired her hat)... not so sure that either one cared... but we thought it was funny........
