Hillbilly Returns

Leave a reply

We were almost to our stopping place for the night and needed gas. So hubs gets gas and then backs up; then pulls forward and turns-CRUNCH and the sound of glass breaking. Hubs turned too much and the fifth wheel ran into my beautiful red truck (okay dented my cab and broke out one of the back windows)…OMGOSH. Maybe there were some stronger, worse words used, but my beautiful red truck…

And really POOR HUBS. He feels terrible. I sat in the truck and let him cool down why he cleaned up the mess. The little lady was a lot shaken up since the window was right behind her car seat. Thank GOD she didn’t get hurt! She kept talking about how the crunchy glass was very scary (I think if the Chihuahua could talk she would have said the same thing-as she was worked up too!).

Hubs taped up the window with a piece of cardboard and duck tape. Hubs gets in the truck and says, “Now our truck looks like we are hillbillies too.” I forgot to mention the duck tape is bright a** red. Hubs initially thought this would blend in with the truck. Seriously, I think the standby grey duck tape would have looked better instead of looking like we tried to match the truck and HELLO there is a piece of cardboard where glass goes. LOL!

As we drove on in our journey toward home I thought three things about what happened:
1). Thank GOD my little lady is okay and just a little worked up.
2). Thank GOD Hubs and I are okay
3). Thankfully there is NO damage to the 5th wheel as we are trading it in on a living quarters horse trailer TOMORROW!
AND A BONUS: Someday Hubs and I will laugh our a**es off about this trip and how he dented the cab of my truck blah, blah, blah…or maybe I will just tease him about it. I will let you all know when we start laughing about it-or teasing-I am sure it will be a while!

Retaliation by the Chihuahua

Every night I go to bed before Hubs. The mama Chihuahua (Icy Girl)then gets off Bob’s lap to get in bed right next to me-sometimes I think that these dogs actually mirror humans. Icy puts her head on the pillow and has her body under the blanket-

Hubs usually take Icy with him during the day and the babies stay home. Lately he hasn’t taken her with him as has been super busy. We didn’t think Icy really cared one way of the other.

That was until one night Icy was pacing the bed. I was half asleep and thought she was just trying to find the perfect place to lay that night. What she was really doing is pooping on Hubs side of the bed. What the heck!!

Hubs woke me up as he was completely disgusted! I could help but laugh out loud – of course I wouldn’t be laughing if she had pooped on my side of the bed – but the fact that she actually knew where she was pooping and whose side of the bed was the funniest to me (and i quickly went back to sleep!).

Needless to say, Hubs has resumed taking Icy with his wherever he goes during the day. And she has not relieved herself on his side of the bed.
It is a good thing we love these little doggies. I am amazed everyday how loving and just stinking adorable these dogs are! Hubs told me last night that he thought I was crazy when I told him I wanted a Chihuaha – now he can’t imagine our lives without them. We are so glad we are now Chihuahua OWNERS!

Thanks for reading!

Rough Around the Knees!

I actually thought that my little lady would be easier on clothes that the JR and SR Peepettes (my boys). My little lady LOVES clothes as much as I do. Yesterday we took a trip to Gymboree to look at the sale rack. Thankfully the peepettes realize t hat I buy more clothes when they are on CLEARANCE. I was not so lucky with my little lady yesterday.

My little lady always needs pants. It may be due to her always either pretending she is a horse or a zebra and crawling around on her knees. Of course I think it is FANTASTIC that she has such a GREAT imagination. When she is not pretending to be horse she is playing with the rest of her toy horses, still crawling around on her knees. (and boy can she make noise running her play horses around!). So off we went to Gymboree on the search for pants long enough for my very tall little lady-skinny little waist and long legs make this a very large task! Of course the day we need pants, they are very scarce on the clearance rack.

Quickly she finds a horse long sleeve shirt that she has to have-thank goodness it is WAY on sale (she thinks that she NEEDS and HAS to have anything with a horse on it-almost every shirt she owns is marked with some type of horse). Then from across the store she runs to the panties-not sure how she saw the littlest horse ever on one of the pair of 7 undies at over $20! So my little lady has a melt down over undies. I need to find my own iron on horse and just iron on her current undies at that price. LOL!

We did find some sort of skinny pink pants-Hubs doesn’t really like the skinny jeans, but needs to get with the style. I finally did. Don’t expect to see Hubs wearing any skinny jeans EVER! But your little lady and I like them Hubs!

Treat Our Barn As Your Own!

You all would have laughed last night.

For the first time since we have moved to our new place we had horse boarders for the weekend-8 of them-A FULL HOUSE! We were VERY excited! Hubs worked most of the day to make the barn shine (or as much as a barn can shine)-seriously it is the cleanest I have ever seen it. Thanks Hubs! And the Little Lady helped as you can see!!!

Little Lady

Yesterday (and today for that matter) was COLD. Add the wind on top of that and it is miserable. It was dark when the first four horses (and there owners) arrived at 10 pm (but we didn’t mind as we were super excited to have them come to our place). We have a huge hill down to the barn so the long horse trailers with living quarters have a hard time turning around. Parking at the top or backing down is the only option.

Since it was dark I thought I would help them take the horses down to the barn since they parked at the top. Out comes the first horse bundled up so much that I couldn’t even tell what color they were. Horsey jammies, neck and body blanket and tail wraps on every horse. They looked really cute and warm. Warmer than I was! I was actually thinking being all wrapped up would feel great about then. The wind was blowing mock 50. It was blowing my coat hood off-and I was cussing silently because it was COLD (seriously I need to step outside in advance and find out what I need to wear!!!)

Our super warm visitors helped us in two ways this weekend: 1). of course we made some $$$! 2). We realized how FUN it is to meet other horse owners that love their horses as much as we love ours!

Hubs says that this picture of the barn (that he took) does not really show how clean he had the barn-but I told Hubs, “Now we have horse guests so it doesn’t matter (I did say it lovingly!).


What a weekend we are having!

Can a dog bone be too BIG?

5 Replies

Chihuahuas are one of the best breeds EVER. I have always wanted a little dog, but never had one. About 10 months ago I found one online in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming. After convincing hubs that we needed a second dog (that was an inside dog); after over 3 hours on the phone with the owner making sure she was potty trained (hubs REQUIREMENT); and making sure she fit our kiddos, we met a lady in Chugwater, Wyoming. Right after the lady hands ICY to me she says, “I forgot to tell you she might be pregnant.” WHAT! ARE YOU KIDDING!

I turn directly to the hubs and ask, “WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW?” I am genuinely surprised when he says, “Get her anyway.” At this point I am thinking that he is crazy or just wants to get this dog because A). He knows I have already fallen in love with her (I like this thought the best), OR B). He is just thinking about this inexpensive Chihuahua.
If he thought B he had a rude awaking when poor little ICY had a C-Section in the middle of the night (while hubs was sleeping). And he probably passed out (as I did) when we got the bill for a C-Section in the middle of the night.

Miss ICY had 5 pups. Only two ended up making it (too long and too sad of a story of my pre-mature pups). The three kiddos, hubs and I couldn’t let those little pups out of our sight and now are part of the fam! The little girl is Loretta Lynn and the little boy is ANGUS. Loretta definitely likes hubs better than me, BUT ANGUS is my little guy!

Which brings me finally to my point! Angus is the smallest (at 2.7 lbs-his sister is almost 8 lbs). (And yes a farm girl can have a VERY small dog). He LOVES and I mean LOVES chewing on rawhide bones. And he doesn’t care what size. I was running out of bones today so I gave him one of the larger ones I had. He didn’t miss a beat. He just went crazy chewing on it. He even argued with his sister (in a very snotty way) when she was trying to share it with him.

So I think next time I go to the feed store I am going to buy a dog bone larger than him and see what he does!

I bet he takes it on with the attitude (He may be little but he is mighty!) that he can CHEW IT UP!

To Buy or Not to Buy-that is the question?

3 Replies

The answer today was BUY and BUY! I was in a local western store today trying on SKINNY jeans to go with my NEW BLACK fancy boots (I have been looking for BLACK boots for months and haven’t found any I actually LOVE enough to purchase before today). I just had to have the SKINNY jeans to go with those boots to show off how amazing the tops of the boots are-at least that is what I told the hubs. Thankfully he didn’t point out that I already own skinny jeans! Of course he probably knew that I would have a rebuttal to that as he knows me well!.

Thankfully hubs knows of my clothing fetish (again I mean that is a good way). I LOVE clothes. My closet is fairly full (I can always find room for more!). Almost every piece of clothing I buy is at least 50% off-and sometimes up to 90% OFF!!!. I am a VERY frugal shopper-I LOVE THE HUNT for the BEST deal! Most of the women in the family are the same way. Call us cheap or call us frugal, we do not care-but we do care how much money we save!!

Today was a little different than normal as I was shopping at a place in town that really doesn’t have a sale rack-but they have the BEST BOOTS IN TOWN! (Actually I wonder if hubs thought I had finally lost it since shopping at full price).

I just could not resist the BLACK skinny jeans as well as the BLACK boots-western and fancy mixed all together! You can see my boots and I am sure you would agree-
THEY ARE F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!
black boots

This time the hunt was for the perfect black COWGIRL BOOTS (and skinny jeans) so I still feel VERY HAPPY!!
