Chilly & Warm November

So, it snowed in November. 

No mas! Not a fan of snow pre December (or Christmas if I'm being honest)

We got a few inches and it was chilly con carne!

Fatty likes the snow though. He is just such an outdoorsy horse. I rarely find him in his stall unless it's really frigid, or HOT---he's in his stall more in the summer than ever.

 I brought Mason out...my sweet boy isn't able to join me on every visit like his earlier years. He gets too sore, even just from the car ride. His left hind ACL is threatening to blow so I'm being so careful with him yet trying to give him the best quality of life too. I try to take him 1x a week now (vs before it was up to 4x a week---senior pets, it tugs your heart strings!!!)

Then it warmed up, all the snow was gone, it rained for three days but felt balmy. YES.

Back to cold again currently...

The barn owners put up this adorable wreath on the barn.

All is well in Laz land. 

He is in total (temporary) pasture pet mode. Getting fat, fuzzy and enjoying new hay delivery

Hoof photos to follow soon, waiting on some time to get a good before, mid, after shots.

6 year anniversary

Nov 3, 2008--official purchase of my Lycius Two, aka Lazarus

Age 7

My sweet boy today, six years later

A happy, calm, goofy but spirited boy

Age 13

We celebrated by taking family photos all together last evening...can't wait to see how they turned out.

It's no easy task; Husband, Pregnant at 7.5 months, a Frenchie, a Chocolate Lab and Laz (who was the easiest out of all)

Mason also had his yearly play date with his real brother (littermate) Baker 

It's crazy that one year later, they still recognized each other and played like young pups.

He's sore today, at age 11.5 yr old, but that is to be expected

Mason is the one without a collar

Enjoying the last of Fall days...hating the daylight savings

Who made that rule up anyway??!!
