Alright, now this time I have a good reason for not blogging in so long. My horse died and I've been kinda getting over that. The vet said she got hypothermia. He also said that a lot of animals get it this time of year. I was so sad. To top it all off, she was thin because I hadn't been feeding her enough (I wasn't sure just how much I needed to be feeding her). I had upped her feed the week before she died, but it was too little too late I guess. I can't help but wonder though if she didn't have something wrong with her. She had lost a lot of weight in just a matter of days. This was after I started feeding her more. So I don't know. I just know that I miss her.

I'm doing better now. I'm sure most of that is thanks to the prayers of friends. I don't think we'll be getting another horse for a while though. I'm not sure we're cut out for horses anyway. I don't really think I am. I was a city girl until just a few years ago and am still getting used to "country life". We don't have any outside animals (other than a cat) but we have a pretty big place and it's a bit of a chore to keep it up. And there's my dad's shop. It's still in the building process and we spend almost every weekend up there working on it. My dad's going to build, paint and work on cars in it some day. That way he can live out his dream and work at home. Yay! So yeah. Maybe I'm just not meant to have a horse. But I still loved Cassie. She was an awesome horse.

I don't have much more for now. I just thought that I'd post about what's been going on around here, sad as it is. And also I would appreciate all your prayers at this time. I'm having a bit of a struggle right now with some stuff and prayers are always welcome. Thanks to you all! And I hope you all had a great Christmas!
