It's Love

Work today was so aggravating that I have nothing further to say about it (that NEVER happens), so I'll skip to the good stuff..

After work, A3 and I went to Marble Slab and ate ice cream, and then went to our new favorite store-- TRACTOR SUPPLY!! We bought a new latch for Trigger's stall, and then went back to their house to install it. It went something like this:

Tractor Supply: 20 minutes
Searching for the drill: 1 hour
Searching for the drill bits: 45 minutes
Trying to get the stupid drill to work: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Putting on the frikkin latch with a g.d. screw driver: 15 minutes

... all this while listening to A3's twin brother tell me how the reason I was having trouble is because I am a girl, and girls don't know how to use power tools. Gawd, if I didn't love that kid.. ;) It was fun though. They are good kids, especially my lil A3. I swear I would clone her if I could.

So then I went out to the round pen to fetch my big baby, and the coolest thing happened! When I bought him, the former owner told me that he was hard to catch in the pasture and that he always ran away. Well when I went into the pen today, he trotted up to me to say hello, and then when I walked away from him and headed to the other side of the pen to pick up some wood and stuff that I wanted to throw away so he wouldn't step on it, he followed me. He continued to follow me around everywhere I went, sniffing my shoulders and trying to get my attention.

Ahhhh.. he likes me! And I've had him less than a week! This is only after 2-3 hours of Parelli stuff, and even that just the basics of grooming and "Friendly Game." Yay.

And tomorrow morning I am off to FLorida.. I will enjoy the trip, but I will miss the Trig for sure. :)
