You have such a wonderful way with words, and your posts are so richly intertwined with your amazing photography. I totally get what "jordiw" meant about saving your posts for dessert! I get very upset with myself if I get behind for a day or two. You enrich our lives so much, and I appreciate each and every post you do. I hope some day my health will permit me to be able to come to one of your events/workshops, etc. (I secretly wish I could be your neighbor!!!) :-) <br />Warm Regards, Lisa in Oregon Lisa Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325602859641802032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-10250089816279878142015-02-13T14:38:42.908-05:002015-02-13T14:38:42.908-05:00And people say that animals don't have emotion...And people say that animals don't have emotions.

You never can tell how dogs will react after the death of another in their pack or the addition to the pack. We had a shy Sheltie once and his not so shy sister...after she died he mourned but became an only dog who loved attention and was not shy anymore. He was a great companion. (Before Chance) I still miss him just about everyday. :(Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-26080414787665179072015-02-11T13:16:14.105-05:002015-02-11T13:16:14.105-05:00Are animals not too amazing for words!

Thunder spent then next week going around the pasture whinnying for his partner. He seemed so lost after that. We got another pony to hang with him, but it wasn't the same. I'm glad that Tilly is adjusting. It was a good story. People think ranchers are just out there to raise animals. They have no idea all that goes into it.Bonnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052974547161586063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-75999251416466029232015-02-10T22:50:29.674-05:002015-02-10T22:50:29.674-05:00Pretty sure every single one who starts one of you...Pretty sure every single one who starts one of your stories finishes it.
