I miss my animals

On the day I left for Sacramento, I went to the barn twice. The first time, I turned Olive out in the mare field.

The second time I brought her in, groomed her and had one last meeting with Cheyenne, my work friend who is caring for her in my absence.

Then I took her for a short ride,

and took a million selfies of the two of us.

I knew she'd be fine, but it's hard to say goodbye.

I went through the same thing with my dogs, minus Cheyenne, of course.

I miss them so much while I'm away, especially Darcy, who is really beginning to show her age.

I have been in Sacramento for five days. 

Both Seth and Cheyenne have been really good about sending photos.

I know all the animals are fine.

Better than fine.

Still, I miss them.

Two more days. I'm ready to home.
