Back in the Saddle

Post by DGFavor » Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:54 pm

Felt good to get back on my horse after 5 weeks of gimpin' around feelin' sorry for myself! Not sure why I think carrying an organ lacerating camera in my coat pocket while riding my horse continues to be a good idea but what could go wrong!!?? :lol: Got in some good training the last couple of days with my good friend Rich Heaton. Concentrated pretty hard on training with my pooches so didn't take pics of them but snapped a couple with my little LX3 while working one of his pups solo. Beautiful time of year to be out!:

Glad you are back at it. But I think you may want to invest in a bubble rap vest. :wink:
The best part of training is seeing the light come on in your little prot'eg'e.

.... and here I thought you wanted to talk about my bitch (Spot's sister) and her upcoming May 2nd litter. LOL :lol:

It's hard not to take things for granted like pain free inhalation with good oxygenation. Nice to hear you're up and at 'em.

Haha, you both aren't far off the mark!! I'm sporting one of these vests now but luckily haven't had to really see if it works or not...yet!!

Pretty sure we'll get bored at some point and pull the rip cord on the thing just to see what happens!! :lol: :lol:

Yah, Big Shooter - the pain didn't bother me nearly as much as the constant feeling of shortness of breath. Makes ya' feel for and respect those that feel that way every day of their lives!!

Looks pretty cool. I suppose if you forget to disconnect the coil before dismount you'll get to test the inflation action.

I saw a funny set of horse tracks up there this morning. I couldn't figure it out. It kind of looked like some one was riding a horse with a set of training wheels. It all makes sense now. :mrgreen:

Hey Doc, glad you are feelin better. It is funny to tease people, but everyone goes off sooner or later. I feel for ya on those ribs! It must be nice to live in country like that and still be wearing chaps and sweatshirts workin dogs! It has been over 90 here for the last few days and my dog pants just lying in the kennel!!!
Glad to see you up and posting pics again. They always make the days in the office go by quicker. :mrgreen:
