Ross and Bella -isn't she adorable? She's a feisty one, though! : 

What is it with Ross and Bellas?  Tell him his Bella here is jealous

All the animals are doing great and dont tell anyone but (whispers: I got two new horses today a 5 yr old Appy and an 11 yr old mustang)

The 501 c 3 is still in the works. I am helping plan a horse show and working on tranportation for three rescue horses right now so that is keeping me kind of busy.

Lily does love little animals.  She used to "pet" the barn cat with her nose when she first came here, lol.

Haha, I know, right? Eventually he'll end up with a horse named Bella, I guess - which one is the question! 

I finally caught up last night with the dozen or so pages I was behind on this thread after being away for a while. 

The story of Kat and Lily has been so much fun and enlightening to follow.  Your talents are amazing Amber.  And your blog keeping us updated on Lily's progress is fantastic, Flakemusic.  Just wanted you to know how much I've enjoyed following this adventure.  You could turn this thread into a book about your adventures with your wild mustangs!

I will have pics of them tomorrow.  They were given to the horse trader. There is a five year old leopard app who supposedly rides and an 11 yr old mustang mare who has barely had anything done with her.  She has a shoulder length mane but it is tangled so badly that I can only hope I can save it.  I got them for a good price because he couldn't run the mare through the auction because of her tattoo and the app has a ugly scar on his back left hindquarter and he is underweight.  They were supposedly former rescue horses that the lady couldn't care for anymore.  I honestly did not even get a good look at them, I just bought them.  they are out in a 100 acre pasture and they would not come to me.  They did get penned up tonight when they came in to eat so I will be able to tell you all about him tomorrow.  I am going to go out and see them in the morning and see if the app really is rideable.

Missy was actually pretty good this year.  There were not many fireworks because we are in a burn ban and they banned bottle rockets and stuff like that.

When I get everything back I will pm you a copy.

I'm glad you have enjoyed the adventure.  It has been amazing for me to and I believe I can speak for Anni and say her too. 

Kat is doing so great.  Just about 6 more months and she will be old enough to be started.  I cant wait! 

Awww, she looks great, Amber.  So shiny!!! :)  Are you going to look into having her ears worked on?  I remember you mentioning that scar tissue has about closed up one of her ears.

She looks great! By the time she's old enough, she'll be more than ready! :) You are such an amazing person with horses!!!

Just one of her ears is going to need opened up but our vet told us that we should not even give shots right now because we are having this unusually high heat and it could seriously effect the horses.  So that will probably wait for the cooler months.  She will let me rub them though so it shouldn't be a problem when it comes time.

Thank you so much Jesse!  I really appreciate the compliments

This is a bit off-subject, but I know I mentioned Ross's sister's cat rescue before, the one that is going for 501c3 status right now. They have lost 4 kittens so far out of two litters of four each to distemper within the past week. They were separated because they were strays, but I guess one of the litters was infected with distemper already and it is highly contagious even on clothes hours later. Most cats are not vulnerable to it because they have been vaccinated, but these kittens were too young to be vaccinated yet - usually their mothers' milk would have protected them, but they were strays. It has been and will be a hard couple of days. We lost Bo, the first one, last Wednesday. His brother Moe died yesterday, Po died last night, and Corina (of a different litter) died today. Already one of Corina's sisters isn't doing well. 

Anni,

You better get a new blog entry up. Solaris is getting antsy!!! LOL!!!

Frank

Haha, Solaris should be happy, there is a new entry up with pictures and everything! You all keep me motivated to post on time, there never seems to be enough time in the day. ;)
