Chimi is doing quite well despite the foot explosions he had back in April/May. He technically has been cleared to ride but I haven’t had time to ride because of work. Unfortunately my summers are basically a joke bc I spend all my waking daylight hours at a summer camp running the barn and riding program and pretty much pass out as soon as I get home at night. I have a 3 day break right now and I had great plans to get back in the saddle and start prepping for the fall but the weather decided it had other plans for me! I woke up Tues morning and looked at my phone with a lovely “Flash Flood watch until Thurs 8PM” Arrrrrgggg!!!!!! I have to be back to work on Fri!!!! Oh well such is life! (Oh and it’s Friday and STILL raining!!!!!!! Like monsoon rain! Not just a lovely soft drizzle)

Chimi has been enjoying his time off but I think he’s ready to get back to work. He’s always such a good boy but right now he’s being extra affectionate. He loves attention but with my crazy schedule (gone by 8:00am and home between 6:45 and 10:00pm Monday- Saturday) he hasn’t been getting as much. So when I do see him he genuinely looks excited to see me. Even though that’s also related to feeding he will try and get cuddles after he has finished his food instead of peacing out to the pasture to eat. When I open the gate to the big field at night he stops and waits for me to give him extra hugs and a good scratch before sauntering out to munch on the grass. I really do love this giant cuddle bug and can’t wait to get back to riding again!!!
Coming in from the endless rain…
Ugh, what a great way to spend 3 days off! Not. We've been getting a ton of rain, too; everything is SO SOGGY and gross. And like 3 storms per day. Blah. But summer is almost(ish) over and you'll be back to riding which will make C happy!
ReplyDeleteSo true!!!! I keep telling myself 2 more weeks!!! I can do it!!!! I hope Chimi is as excited to get back to work as he thinks he is right now ;) hehehehe silly boy
Deleteugh sorry! I have been wondering about Chimi so thanks for the update. And that job of yours? SOUNDS HORRIBLE LOL NO wonder you are exhausted!!
ReplyDeleteSend me some of that rain please. LITERALLY we have had a sprinkling in like 10 days. My pond is becoming a puddle. :(
Oh geez!!! Yes you need some rain!!! And I do really enjoy my job… most of the time ;) there are days where I question my sanity and why I don’t have a normal 9-5 job 😂
DeleteWe have had so much rain here too, it’s intense. So relieved to hear Chimi’s hoof is all healed up tho!!
ReplyDeleteThe rain is non stop! I love a good soaking, and to much rain is better than no rain, buuuut maybe just not 4 days in a row of endless rain? Thanks? But I did enjoy the cooler weather that came along with the rain sooooo… yeah ;)
DeleteGreat to read an update! It’s been monsoon season lately but at least the grass remains green and growing. The Pace season starts soon too! We need to meet up and ride together again.
ReplyDeleteFor sure!!!! I had so much fun riding with you in the spring so we definitely need to get back out there this fall!!!!
DeleteI'm glad Chimi is doing well! (and now august is half over D: )
