Zinnia,…where is the evil one that lead her astray?
Happy News! Pippin is home - alive and well - now we need to focus more attention on Suzy and get US home with Her alive and well. Zinnia I KNOW what mental torment you have been through, and I am So Glad you have a happy ending. Tough little buggers those Basenjis! Hug him and yell at him simultaneously!!!
Zinnia, congratulations, so happy that you found your dog.
Karoline, no problem - I was so busy there - it felt like Championships for me, the same fun, stress and a lot of work. It was my first time at Pebble Beach and it is a breathtaking venue. We did OK the first 2 days, but the scores were very low - I placed second in the class of 6 with the score of 55% and the winning score was 56%. My last 2 days were not so good, b/c we were showing a freestyle at the main arena with the flags and grand stands and Zena thought that the flags will eat her alive and was a very bad girl in that arena, with out going in to the the details of our strugle with flags, we got a 46% on our freestyle the last day - Zena just wanted to get the heck out of there at any cost. That is my new personal lowest score.
Yippee!!!
Holly, our evil dog, came home without him sunday! We suspect she tried to lose him.
I am bringing him to the vet’s in a while to have some scrapes checked. He probably needs antibiotics and painkillers. I just want the boy checked.
Now, you all know-- if Pippin can come back, so can SUZY!!!
suzy will be back tomorrow without question.
but for the pups…we had a problem with a digger and put two foot high woven wire fence on the ground along the the fence line to keep them from digging under the fence
Zinnia, I am so happy for you!!! I’m sure the little guy will be a little under the weather for a bit, but he’s home - I can (maybe) imagine your relief!
I can’t find the post to quote it -
"can we start the boogers when we get back?:yes: :yes: " made me spit coffee!
But, sad to say, I think when the boogers started their own board, at least based on my one visit there, they got a little less (ahem) refined!
We are planning major fence renovations this week and weekend. I don’t want my dogs to go through this ever again.
zinnia - you just made my day!!! WAHOOOOO!!!
ME TOO.
Zinniaz
So happy for your outcome!! What a relief!
Good for all of the udders. Your board will be back up tomorrow! Yippee for you! It has been nice having you, but I know you will be glad to get back home! Happy posting and adios!
Thanks! Since I have broken out of lurk mode here, I will probably post here and there. I do like some of the threads and conversations…
YEp - I don’t think CoTH will get rid of us quite that easily! We are like backwoods shirttail relatives - we kind of like the hospitality! So some of us will continue to visit! Again, thanks for having us and being so kind about allowing such a long thread!
I am sure Erin will keep some bottles of champagne for you in the freezer.
I’d rather like to pop in from time to time as well; I’ve quite enjoyed some of the training discussion! Terribly stimulating!
And I want to do the booger thing!!!
And being our “poste restante” was hugely kind-- when you’re worried about folks and what they’re going through, and suddenly communications get interrupted, well, it’s hard. So thank you all for your patience in letting us catch up with one another.
Don’t know anything about the mass bannings; I must say I haven’t experienced anything other than respect on the UDBB.
SO ice up that champagne (or margaritas).
Three new BB’s with lovely and very wise people who have been around the block (several times) :yes:
And…all these posters were banned by His Royal Highness Kram de Losus.
Wake up…because know how and intelligence is not wanted by HRH
I’ve only made it through half the responses (haven’t gotten to the fight yet), but to answer the many who have asked why UDBB,
-
I participate in both boards, actually. And I don’t mind the heat over here, too much, except it can get boring. Easily solved: stop reading the thread.
-
UDBB is smaller. I can only hold just so many personalities in my head – with UDBB, it’s a little easier. I think that’s the real reason I go there more often.
-
I love the ability to discuss other topics. Horse people are the kind of people I spend my life with, but I don’t limit myself to horse topics all the time. UDBB seems more in synch with my life that way.
-
But I do read/post to COTH, too.
I have to agree with you. We have Bokt.NL which is the biggest Equestrian Forum in the world. But when you post something it goes down to page 23 within some seconds.
This is also why I like Hopefull Farm BB, because it is small and it feels like a family.

I can’t figure out the scrolling feature on the Hopefull Farm BB. Only the first sentence shows up, to continue reading I need to scroll, but my AOL thingey pops up. Too bad. I like the vibe on that board, the emoticons and the jewelery.
Manure Pile rocks the Fbomb, so I’m all on that! but it seems like everyone knows each other, live near each other and parties together, so I feel like an intruder.
UDBB rules because people will talk about very personal issues honestly. It’s not all about horses all the time
Great news Zinnia. Did the second dog return as well?
