You probably already know this, but we moved the message board again since those spammers keep taking it down when they try to post their junk. If you have it listed as a favorite you will need to change the address. It should be better for a while until the spammers find it again. We might have to go to a board with advertising on it. I know many folks didn’t like the one new board we tried, but these spammers are just a real pain. It takes time every day to try to keep it clean and we are always very concerned about what our young viewers might see if they click on that garbage. We’ll keep trying!

Our little Bobbina went in this week for her spay surgery and came out with flying colors. She was in recovery in no time and the vet said everything went very well. We kept her quiet for a few days (easy to say, tough to do!!) and she is just about back to her old self and ready to rock and roll as a full-time barn kitty.

We’ve decided to take Spice and Tux to the West Bend Show this weekend. Luke has a cold and Fanny and Bill didn’t get any roping practice this week due to rain and travel, so we’ll leave them home.

 In preparation for the show we had the farrier out today. Bill also clipped all of Tux’s long hair off last week so that by this weekend he will look great. He’s just like his mom in that regard, Cookie always keeps her coat very late in spring and it looks like he will also be kind of hairy. He wasn’t too fond of the clippers on his behind, but he eventually got used to it. Bill has been working a lot with Spice in the arena. She is still improving, starting to slow down. She is such a good girl, so easy to be around and to work with. Keep you fingers crossed.

Thanks for watching,
