What's new?

Nothing much.

Boy has figured out that if I am in the kitchen and he is in the living room, he will be in the house for the night. I don't think he minds sleeping in the house, but he certainly prefers to be outside where he can "escape". So, he and Precious slept in the house four nights and then no more. On the fifth night, when we couldn't get him to stay in the house, we let Precious stay on the Kitty's futon. (We'll show him) He was OK without her outside for about two or so hours. THEN, the howling and baying began. Unfortunately, we had the windows open. Fortunately, our closest neighbors are over 1/4 mile away. Unfortunately, for Precious, she had to be picked up and placed outside to sleep. She was not happy. I tried to explain it to her. But she doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with him.

Funny thing is, that he will come in the house and sit in the entry way, the living room and even for short periods, the bedroom, but only if both of us are together or not near the door. Last night, I tried to pretend I was going for a walk, while my spouse stayed in the house. Boy went in, but when he realized I was outside and the door could be closed, he bolted for the patio and stayed planted there.

I guess I have two outside dogs. I was reminded that it took Dawg, several months to want to come in and stay. Finally, one day, it must have been 110 degrees, she decided that in was better than out. Maybe he will have the same Revelation.

And, no, we still haven't found Dawg. Yes, we are still looking.

Tuco, Angel and Blondie have taken up residence in the barn and appear to love it. They let us know if the food supply is low, or if the litter box needs attention, but other than an occasional siting in the pasture (get them gophers), they think they have been transported to the Ritz.

Luke is home and as bossy as ever with Rufus. But, now, Rufus bosses back. We did OK at our lesson on Saturday. We are going to start going across the street to ride at least once a week beginning next week.

That's is all.
