Walk Your Talk … or better yet … Talk Your Walk!

Most everybody these days knows what the phrase “walk your talk” means. Don’t just say it, DO it. Put up or shut up. Put your money where your mouth is. That kind of thing. The phrase was originated (I think) to refer to people who […]

When to Take a Break

How about right now. After all those days of writing about Mustangs and horse types I can’t think of a single thing animal to blog about. I feel like the little guy in this picture, though he’s much cuter than I, I must say. My […]

I’m sure no one reading this blog would be guilty of this, but quite a few folks still buy poor quality pet food for their beloved animals. Mainly because it’s cheap. And they would never dream of feeding supplements, much less a super powerful one […]

Bessie Has a Guardian Angel (or an orb … or a ghost!)

I know I’m blogging a lot about Bessie right now, but when I took her picture a couple of days ago while she was out and about with the horses, I noticed something I’ve noticed before in her pictures: a lovely white orb hovering over […]
