"...I'm Freshly Shed!" My 07 Female Mojo, Deuce. Happily shed!

Ok, so for my Honors Thesis to graduate with my bachelors, I am doing a poster of Most Overlooked but Important Horse Expressions. Ok, so that isn't the title, but it will be something akin to that. So here is my question: What, in your opinion, is an expression that horses make that is most...

Well, I haven't been around here in about a month due to work. But now that I have some free time, here are some pics to show what a great time I am having with my new horse Nela! She is a Percheron/Belgian draft cross. Here she is! My friend Sarah was riding her at the time. Me loping...

So I decided to take the plunge and buy a mare that I have been eye-ing for a year or so now. She was at my old stables and I was always envious of whoever was riding her. She went up for sale this spring and I have been trying her out. I had a day off today and my friend Sarah came out to the...

...I just started my new job at the Larimer Humane Society. Unfortunately the scheduler decided I needed 39 hours a week, and I have a second job too. So while I may be pulling in some cash, I will be very busy. It is an interesting job but is mostly custodial-type work that involves lots of...

Windsor, a city two towns away from me, just got hit badly by tornadoes this afternoon. So far there have been three people killed. Fort Collins, where I live, is on Tornado watch. There are dark clouds coming this way. I live on the third floor of an apartment building with no basement...

Freshly shed and sponsored by the number 8! (who started this with "brought to you by the letter O?")

So I finally figured out the exact reasons why I love snakes. I tried to write it out as best as I could with my limited eloquence. I would love to hear anyone else's reasons why they love snakes! I don't mean the laundry list of "1. Don't have to take for a walk 2. Is pretty" but more of a...

Ok, so I took over 70 pictures..bear with me for the ones I decided to actually use. The Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo is held in Denver Colorado. It was a lot of fun! I didn't buy anything except for some supplies..although i was sorely tempted! So here the saga of pictures begins:

Does anyone here have Rosy Boas? If so, how would you describe their temperaments? They seem like very cool snakes but I don't see them around too often, and I wonder why that is? Thanks!:spinner:

Today it was finally a nice day (no snow, sleet, hail etc). So I took the two ball pythons outside. I know you guys are probably sick of my pictures, but I only have four snakes to photograph! The ball pythons sure stay still better than the corns. Deuce: late 07 Mojave Meerah: Early...

So, my petstore buy Meph, a 2006 male snow, has reached 300gams. I suppose this means he can start courting the ladies? :) Anyways, I took him out today and snapped some pictures. These aren't great and don't represent his color well. But I was amazed at how fast he's grown...

...you go to the local nursery, and dive under a display bench to try and grab a garter snake! I didn't catch him, but I had to keep myself from flattening my body on the ground to try :) It was pretty big for a garter too, so I suspect it was a female. Oh well..almost got her.....:laugh01:

An update on Deuce, my 07 "rescue" BP who has gained 134 grams since I got her in January. When I got her she had been fed on coconut husk and had splinters in her mouth. She was also very skinny. When I took her out today to take some pictures I realized my hard work has paid off. No longer...

I am always surprised at how many people can't keep their pets and must find a home for them. There are so many reasons: allergies, no commitment, behavioral issues, moving, different financial situation etc. I also observe quite a few posts relating how disgusted that particular poster is...

Does anyone know of a brand of a two-probed thermometer that can measure a cool side and warm side at once? Preferably I would like a thermometer that reads temperatures correctly.... I just got a temp gun on loan and realized how completely OFF my thermometers are....grrrrr:angry01:

I have Herpstat that reads error four messages (supposedly because of a probe dysfunction) even after I JUST replaced the probe. I also have a Ranco (brought in last week) to replace the Herpstat, that reads 83 degrees, that it should be at 91 with a 1 degree differential. My thermometers...

I am getting so sick of my probed thermometers that seems to vary highly in their readings. I want to burn them at this point. :angry01: I want to get an inexpensive but very accurate temp gun. 1. what are the brand you would recommend? 2. where can I find this brand? Is there anything...

These were some pics my dad took today at my very first horse show on the very first horse I ever trained, Candy (Sugars Mini Bar). She's by Sugar's Oak Bar and out of Easy Pure Pride. She does not belong to me; she was consigned by Purina Mills to CSU for me to train and show and sell. I will...

I did this as a prototype for a children's game involving reducing irrational fears of scary animals. It is for a class. I liked the drawing I did so I figured I'd post it. Nothing fancy, just colored it in in Painter Classic.
