Long May You Run!

I am still avoiding the news and am happy and basically sane. I am also proud to report, that I did my ‘inside the trailer—three mile walk’ using my weights and the—stretchie this morning! Yeah, me!

After my workout, I checked my e-mail. Our good friend, and super rescue ranch dog walker volunteer, Carol V. sent me an e-mail, congratulating me on starting up my walking program, and then she told me some upsetting news!

A week or so ago, Carol and her gigantic lovable, black Lab, Scout, had been out walking on a neighbor’s ranch, with a friend of hers, and Scout was bitten on his leg by a rattle snake, inside an old barn! They had to rush Scout to a veterinarian clinic, and fortunately, Scout survived, and is now doing fine and back to normal! As for the rattler—he didn’t make it. So, until we get our first frost out here—these boots are made for walking—inside my trailer.

I spent much of my day taking care of business, while listening to my iPod play one favorite song after another. It is amazing to me, how strongly music affects me. I love it and am hardly ever without my music—it grounds me and calms me.

Late this afternoon, Kinky returned to the ranch! Around five-ish, I went over for a visit. We had much to talk about, and he is very excited about our calendar raising money for our rescue ranch! After we had discussed some business, and caught up with each other’s news—Kinky challenged me to a game of pool. Short and sweet—The Hummingbird Man won.

When I returned to the rescue ranch and told Tony about Kinky beating me in a game of pool, Tone called Kink and asked if he could come over to the Lodge. Tony was only gone for about twenty minutes or so.

When Tony walked into the trailer he said, “Medina Bulldog—1 and The Hummingbird Man—0. He had four balls left on the table.” Then Tony grabbed a beer out of the fridge, and went outside to go check on the dogs.

I hope that y’all have a great evening! Neil Young is singing, ‘Long May You Run.’ I love that song so much! Long may you run and I mean it! Have a wonderful evening!

P.S. NoMads, Lori G. and Mari B., are coming out to the rescue ranch tomorrow! They can’t wait to get into my Space Ship, and go into Outer Space with Tony and me! It will be their very first time! I can’t wait to see them! We will have a blast! The NoMads Rock!
