"One-eyed, too ..."Hows your horse?" <br />"One-eyed, too skinny, out of shape, neurotic because of the weather, and 132 miles away from me, thats how he is."<br />I actually said that to a well-meaning friend, the poor guy just didn't know what to say hahahaa.<br />I dont have a problem with work/school friends knowing about my blog, its the people at my barn that I keep it from (because I always have the urge to rant about them, and one of these days I may just snap and do it).Ashleigh Shadowbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308008630142081844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-55631189981907409432011-04-24T12:49:27.652-07:002011-04-24T12:49:27.652-07:00Most of my real life friends don't know about ...Most of my real life friends don't know about my blogs either! I like having a place where I can be myself without ever feeling judged or teased if I say or do something stupid. :)<br /><br />I think alive or fine are good answers. If they aren't interested and are only being nice (especially if they aren't horse people) there is no sense it trying to explain in detail. :) When you see her next give her a hug for me.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-88857545562146963212011-04-23T19:42:30.444-07:002011-04-23T19:42:30.444-07:00omg..i kinda hate that question b/c it's so co...omg..i kinda hate that question b/c it's so complicated to answer and then you see their light in their eyes fade when you try explaining that to a non horse person lol.<br />I do the same as you, short, easy answers.<br />People ask me and it went from "day to day and keeping my fingers crossed" "on the right track" "he's happy and enjoying his horse life" etc.<br />She's happy..that is important.

This time last year, I couldn't say if she was going to make it another day.<br /><br />Hang in there. Hugs to Denali.

I especially like that first one... <br /><br />People at work ask me about my horses all the time and then when I actually start rambling on and on, their eyes glaze over. Especially when I start talking about abscesses, shockwave therapy, torn ligaments and other things non-horse people don't know anything about. I don't think they really wanted to hear the answer, they were just being polite. Serves them right, though, for asking!in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-39707954177576690602011-04-22T20:21:26.742-07:002011-04-22T20:21:26.742-07:00Most of my friends know about my blog but the hors...Most of my friends know about my blog but the horsey ones here about what I post anyway so they don't follow it.
