Back In the Saddle Again

Yeah!  I had a baby shower for my friend and coworker Sarah yesterday.  I have been very consumed lately in getting ready for the shower.  She is such a wonderful person, I wanted things to be just perfect.  It was a great time.  Just love watching someone open all of those sweet baby gifts.  Anyway, Ellie is recovered from her freak accident a few weeks ago.  A stray dog, attacked her in the pasture.   One of her back legs got bit up pretty bad.  The dog did not fair to well.  We heard he did get better, but he did suffer life threatening injuries.  Luckily Ellie's wounds were superficial, but she stocked up pretty badly a day after the whole thing.  The vet had me rest her, just to make sure it was all normal swelling from the trauma.  She has faired well, and now I am eager to get ready for my first schooling show in a long time.  The plan is for Kasey and I to load her in the trailer and take her for a drive.  We need to see how the boys will do when they are left behind.  Pilgrim seems to really be attached to Ben now, so hopefully they will keep each other company and get over her not being there.  At the same time, I have to hope that she will get over having to leave her boys.  Before I had the boys, I could take her anywhere.  The only test I have done this summer is riding back down the road.  That she does not mind that so we will have to see.  I have a goal and now it is up to me to make sure I do the things necessary to accomplish it.
