Corona's Close up...

Yeah...you could say she's the center of our household. Shhh....but don't tell our 10 year old Weimaraner...it would hurt her feelings.

The dogs love to run around and "help" me feed horses in the morning. I DON'T enjoy it when it's muddy out though...they must stay inside.

This dog knows she's getting her photo taken.....

Just say, "Give me the belly" and Corona will hit this position!

Harpole's Heartland Lodge

This is the bed and breakfast that we go to in May for the May Paso Fino Ride! It's a wonderful place, very cozy and they feed you very well! Oh...it's worth going just for the comfy beds! Truly luxurious sheets and comforters to jump in after a long day in the saddle. Treat yourself to a suite with a whirlpool jacuzzi in it to really pamper ones body after hours of riding! There's not much better in life to me!

Cross Fit....will I ever JUMP IN???

I'm very intrigued by Crossfit and would love to join them in the ranks of the athletes they have there.

I would LOVE to construct a workout area like theirs in my barn! Click on "Cross Fit..." in the title and be directed to their homepage! Check it out.

Corona our American Staffordshire Terrier!

Doesn't she look like a LION or a BLACK PANTHER?? I absolutely love this dog. It's amazing how much one "little" dog can add to your life. Corona is so intelligent and high energy...she's contagious! Yes...she's on the leather furniture! At approx. 55lbs this little girl thinks she's much smaller than what she is. I have plans of teaching her weight pulling...she's 3 years old now...it's never too late to learn. She loves to work...in fact Corona and our Weim, Jossee adore biking with me.

Hardwood Floors

Ok....I just wanted to post a photo of my husband's work....I'm so proud of him. His custom hardwood floor work is absolutely stunning....and if I may brag....he is very sought after in our county and surrounding areas!

Sickness...

How very frustrating, seems as though when you are making attempts to get your life in order...the Devil has other plans. Friday and Saturday night I ran a fever...God only knows how high it was. I swear I was delirious...seeing shadows in my house and it was night time!!! Called in sick on Monday, I was just drained from coughing and the fever....
I could have called in today as well and thought nothing of it....I feel exhausted. To say the least, I haven't worked out.
Ok....it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of your life....but still incredibly frustrating.
