I'm ALIVE! (but barely made it)

Good GRIEF. I promise I will get my flu shot from now on because yikes does the flu suck. I have been absolutely out of commission since last Wednesday, which means that Lucy has sat and done nothing! Of course, the theme of Winter 2012-2013 is "Get Back Into Work, Then Take Another Long Break".

My lungs still can't handle the cold air really well, but I was going so crazy sitting at home that this afternoon I went and tried ground driving her for the very first time! I was really excited to try this. I have wanted to do it for a while and finally bought the long lines recently.

Lucy was so chill about the whole thing, I wondered for a split second if someone had done it with her before. But then I remembered the state she was in when I got her and realised that there was basically no way she had been exposed to this before I bought her.

Within ten minutes she was walking, trotting, turning in both directions, stopping, backing up, and starting to go around on the bit. We stopped at that point to end on a really good note! I was thrilled.

She's enjoyed her vacation. I know this because I could
hardly get the surcingle done up. Fattie!
