May 10th, 13 years ago, a little sister came into my life. On this Tues., she awoke to balloons and streamers hanging from the kitchen ceiling. We each told her happy birthday in our own way. An aunt even surprised her by calling to inform her that her bedroom is going to get a makeover! I personally can't wait until we start ripping wallpaper off, start painting, and totally redoing the room. I also plan on doing a blog post about it. Stay tuned.....
But also on Tues. we had a couple from our church come out to work on the horses hooves and teeth. The husband removed some horse shoes, trimmed, and cleaned the hooves. The wife did Little J.'s horse's teeth.
The couple have been over before, but it was still interesting to watch them work.
My dear Paradise didn't do well when she was getting her hooves trimmed. After circling, leaping forward, knocking stuff over, and nearly stepping on us, she had to have a drug to make her sleepy... They finished her, however, and next time should be better. Let's hope, anyway.
Another neat part of the evening was Little J. got to feel inside of her horse's mouth. The silver device in his mouth prevents any biting.
In the picture below, Tres, the horse, is getting his teeth helped.
We didn't eat supper until ten something that night, and needless to say, we were hungry! But we got the horses fixed up for a while, and that is nice to have done.
And Little J., I think all in all, had a good birthday.
Yesterday, we had a more real kind of party. Our grandma came over and we had Little J.'s birthday meal of pork chops and all that goes with them. We finished the meal with cake and ice cream, of course. For another treat, we had a family movie night.
