And the winner of the Gold Medal for August is............
Drum roll........................

What's a drum roll? Bread shape like a drum, I suppose.
Yum.

Anyway, it's Cathie @Cathie G with a whopping 51 points.

I think she must have cheated.

Congratulations, Cathie, you obviously said enough nice things about me to win the month.

Yesss! I can finally borrow the Gold!!! Congratulations Cathie!!! I need you to know that I have been celebrating in exponential amounts.. I’m so excited that medalS are being awarded here in the dark that I’m just beside myself.. and I’m so proud of the group that we have become in this cold place.. so I just know that you will share with me.;-)))). the thought of not getting to wear all three medals is now just inconceivable !!?

Still hot and muggy. Maybe rain too.

That’s what I thought...

@Cathie G congratulations! You’ve earned it! 51 points, wowza, that’s pretty good. ?

How long does it take to loose all those points??

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

How long does it take to loose all those points??

For me, 3 days, maybe 1

We haven’t had any rain here, I’ve been riding every day. Well, not really the kids ride and I scoop poop. I’m trying to get it all done now before it does rain, it’s so heavy when it’s wet.

The joys of being in the country!! Lol.. the only poop I scoop is in the stall or the tortoise box... and sometimes, I think that I have kids for that ??. The tortoise boxes generally have way more than the stall.. it’s an exponential amount of poop!

You are lucky. I try to get the kids to do it, they help sometimes but usually they just want to groom the horses, and ride.

Hello, Adam.
I simply don't have much interesting to talk about.
Since my retirement, my life has become uneventful.

How is Wild Child and the rescue you brought in?

When I say kids, I really just mean my son ? The girls are lazy and too caught up in teen aging ( if that’s even a word) .. Jayden offers to help me with any chore... ESPECIALLY if it involves the animals!

I have 3 girls, they all love scooping poop because the horses are usually in there with them, but they love riding more. So, me and hubby usually are the poop scoopers.

That'd scare the Hell out of her.

STOP!!! Why don't I ever freakin know what you all are talking about?? I know how to use a computer, just now with Golden greek tortoise was the first thing I understood

I can certainly send you some! I finally got a couple hours in the saddle while it was cool and got Rained out ?. It’s superfluous here! After Laura came through, everything was sufficiently watered... then the light rain and sporadic showers and everything was saturated... now it’s in our forecast daily the rest of the week! Me thinks we’ll be swimming! And to top it all off, I had to spend one of my free hours cleaning and oiling my saddle!!!!

I'm sorry.

I've spent a lot more time on FACEBOOK than usual.
It's very wise that the TFO doesn't allow political posts.
They have turned some other sites into a war zone.
Enough said....or this will also become political

I spend way too much time on political news. I need to cut down, but I want to stay informed. If you read my Facebook page you get a idea where I stand
Hopefully that isn't to political here. That's what I enjoy about TFO. I would also be disappointed if I lost any friends I have found here on TFO.
Let's stick together talking about cheese ?

I know EXACTLY how you feel! I have a gorgeous fig tree that produces an exponential amount of figs... only I never get to harvest any because the squirrels get them all just before they are fully ripe... I don’t know how to deter the little bastards!

Go and pick the figs before the squirrels do and let them ripen off the tree. You gotta beat them at their own game.

 

[CarolM]

Not really sure what that is????

Me too. But I did not want to say anything. ?????

I decided to send gene testing for Mookie to find out what kind of a dog she is. I went to do her swab and it’s so embarrassing because she got really panicky about it and I ended up having to pick it up with my fingers. I sent it anyway and now I’m thinking it will come back saying it’s a Scandinavian American human instead of saying that it’s something like a pointer or a border collie. She really wasn’t into this stuff a swab in your mouth thing. She’s snoring next to me right now but she still terrified of everyone except me. If anybody has any great ideas about having a terrified dog get brave I’d love to hear them.
Here’s my cow/chicken/coward dog.

Aww... poor little girl. There's a show on CBS called Lucky Dog on Saturday mornings here in Ohio. He has good ideas but we also have Tom the dog trainer right here on TFO also. He's always helpful too.?

Jayden is extra special.

Cheese can be a touchy subject too.
