Lovely doesn't even begin to describe it!
 
You guys are awesome!
Maybe we can pet your horse? Jen loves horses and so do I. I’m trying to get into a horse therapy program for awhile now for ptsd they say it’s the best for people like me.
 
I got a new badge holder for work. The purple one is the one I already had. I probably need one that says working to support my pet addiction so it would include my dogs, cat, many fish and my horse... :winking-face:

Omg so freakin cute!! I love sun conures.
I worked at a pet store and we would get the baby’s in and I had to prepare special food for them I loved them so much. They are so personable.

Omg that would be so amazing to be able to ride a horse in Sylva omg!!
We went riding in Dillion not to far from you at the stables. I got to ride my first Tennessee walker.
My oldest son up front then Jen and then me in the back.
