Four Things, Why Not?

I want to do this with my Bacon

Well, tomorrow is the big day for Bacon. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of whatever is going on with my goofy girl.  I just want her to be comfortable and happy again. She still seems fine and happy, plays in her pasture and weaves vigorously like always. It is hard when all you look forward to is riding and competing on your pony, and a lot of that did not happen this summer. But all I really want is for her to be ok again. So, to keep my mind busy, here is the four things filler post!

Four names that people call me other than my real name: 

1. Lergies/and or Penguin (from racehorse trainer-in reference to my allergies and my arthritis walk)
2. Boogs (my grandpa called me this when I was a baby, and stuck in my family)
3. Crazy Ass (thanks husband)
4. Poo (my maiden name was Lapuh. Said like La-poo)

This was Dr. Boo. He was 32lbs. Please do not let your cat get this fat.

1. Stall cleaner
2. KB Toys associate (NEVER AGAIN)
