Thanks everyone for the overwhelming positive response! I'm going to take it that you guys think we are interesting enough to read about.... and I appreciate that! :)
That being said, things on this end are suddenly in fully swing in terms of transport. Everything happened so quickly.... one second we were discussing options, the next second I was signing and e-mailing paperwork back to her old owner. On Tuesday, she officially became mine! (Or well, technically on Thursday when her owner received siged paperwork on my end.) Things wet into full overdrive mode when I received a surprise e-mail from my shipper on Thursday after several days of silence stating that they were going to pick up my mare that evening. Uhhhh WHAT?! The woman seeing her off was at work, the papers were all at her old owner's house, and I had nothing to my name, not eve a board contract signed! A few frantic phone calls later, we managed to organize everything, and as of 10am yesterday, my sweet mare was loaded on the trailer and heading towards the international border. Omigoodness this is really happening!!!!
There is so much more to write - and a new blog is in order! - but as for this moment in time I need to figure out what to do with the hay situation, so off I go!!
And she has a new name... Pangea.
EDIT: The new blog needs a new name before I can make it.... so I need some help from YOU! The tagline is "A Piece of a Heart Horse Comes Home," but it needs a title as well. Suggestions? Something to wrap Pangea (related continental stuff) within? Something different? Ideas?
Congratualations! I'm excited for you. And I'm very glad there will be a blog because your's are at the top of my favorites list!
ReplyDeletePangea is a terrific name! Can't wait to follow along your new adventure with her! OH and good luck with the hay!
ReplyDeleteAt Home on Pangea! HA! I'm pretty excited to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you! :) And so glad to hear you're going to continue sharing your journey with us. Sending best wishes from Calgary, with miss Pangea!!
ReplyDeleteOh How exciting! I look forward to hearing about every detail of her arrival and your new lives together!
ReplyDeleteUm...I heart you...but I cannot allow you to misspell Pangaea
ReplyDeleteI thought about that, but I figured that no Texan would be able to pronounce that, and that it would be perpetually butchered. Also, I might get shot for being too different and weird.
ReplyDeleteCareful, Andrea;) Texan here! Not only can I pronounce it, I know what it is.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on bringing family back in the fold.
I would call the new blog Pangea's Drift, because she's had a long journey to get to you, and because you both have so many ways you could go together.

ReplyDeleteHey I really like Pangea's Drift, but another vote for Pangaea! ;^)
ReplyDeleteIt's all happening incredibly fast now, must feel a whirlwind after so long of hoping for her. It's almost as though she's being rushed in to replace Bay who's left a little earlier than expected. I'm so happy for you she's come home, it must feel just amazing.
I'm so excited for you and I'm so thrilled you made her a blog. :D I think everything you write is interesting and I look forward to reading about Pangaea!
