I'm sorry folks if this turns into another of my long postings but I

soreness.

Even though I do own an Icelandic cross, I have owned very few unregistered
horses. I like the predictability of purebreds - I'm sure someone will take
exception to that, but it's mostly true.

Karen,
You were so right. We decided to put a baby monitor in with Greta, the
young African Grey. She talks up a storm when we are out of the room, like
a baby, nonsense sentences interspersed with real words.
We just heard her clearly say "Oh poop!". We're thrilled.

Judy,
When I ride my horses on my property, they know where the paddock is.
And there are a couple of them that will make a sudden "try" to see if
I will let them go back. They never do this off on a trail ride we
have hauled to. One of them does it in the same exact spot every time,
