The Worrisome Read-a-holic

**I am having computer troubles. You may be reading about me on the news. Yes that was me, BG, who amazingly reached thru the telephone line and choked the non-english speaking AOL employee who put me on hold for the 7th time, then gave me more of their run-around-game.**

I just finished this book, Triptych by Karin Slaughter, a few days ago. Excellent book with lots of twists and turns and suspense. This one is addictive, no putting it down.

A couple of nights I had to make myself put it down, turn off the light, and get my ass to bed….especially since it was already after midnight!

This is what I am currently reading when I get a chance. I have a few magazine subscriptions that I enjoy. I refuse to pay full price for any magazine in the store.

Why pay $4-$5 for Cosmo or Horse Illustrated off the shelf when you can get a whole entire year for $12?

My sister J bought me the Alaska subscription. I have to say, if I ever relocate again, I am thinking Alaska. Yeah, I know I am not a big fan of snow….but the Alaskan Coastline is beautiful. I do not like people either and they are scarce up there, just another bonus. And, my Native American roots are direct descendants of the Eskimos. I think I’d fit right in (if I can keep my complaining about the cold weather mouth shut).

Here’s another man-boob photo of Marv.

Pussy-Cat porn, maybe I should start charging for these photos…..

Every single day, Marvin grooms Kitty. Like he needs to consume anymore hair.

Marv hacked up a hairball in my bathroom and the hubs was fortunate enough to be the first one to see it. He dealt with it and even washed the rug. Glad I wasnt home for that!

My horse vet is scheduled to come out and look over Scooter in September. I called and asked Dr. M to come out this month but she is booked, then she will be out of town. She did promise to call me should she get a cancellation which she said is highly probable. I am hopeful.

Scooter has lost some weight. He is acting fine. In fact, the last 2 weeks he has lots of energy despite the horrible, draining heat.

I am at a loss.

Scooter is wormed regularly, vaccinated, his teeth are in good shape. He hasnt been ridden hard or exercised hard. His appetite is good. Ive started him back on his Equine Senior feed which he is eating with no problem.

When I explained to Dr. M about my worries she listened and sympathized with me. She knows how special he is to me. She also said, maybe he has reached the time in his geriatric years when some horses just cannot keep their weight up because of being elderly. It doesnt mean he is sick or anything bad, it is just something that happens.

I knew all of this.

After all, Scooter is 28 yo. I guess I just needed a professional to tell me even tho Ive been around horses my entire life and this is nothing new to me…..

But, Scooter is so important to me. Sigh.
