The radio is not my friend today. Song after song triggers a special memory with H. It probably also has to do with H's nice call this morning, his voice was cheery and it sounded so good. Like the good old days.
Jeff, I didn't answer your question about H training. He has dabbled a little with a few of our own, much overdue too! Nothing has come in from the outside yet, but when it's 20 below people aren't thinking of getting their horse trained. I am putting feelers out and spreading the word and in another month or two I hope it will start paying.
H can still be very defensive if I ask him something simple. We have a heater he sometimes uses at night to stay warm on the couch. Last night I asked if he still used it and I could hear the tone in his voice was not good. I asked what he thought about putting the heater in the basement during this subzero cold streak to avert freezing water pipes. He agreed and gladly took the heater down. My take is he got defensive because he feels guilty for having to use it because he chooses to sleep on the couch. yes or no?
