Lizzy Rose's 1st Horsey Ride!

Here Is Pupperoni's first ride on Jesse Pollin with MOMMY!


OK...I was gonna save this for Christmas....but couldn't wait! (Ya...I held back... some photos)

Jesse is NOT so sure about Pupperoni steeling his thunder!

Your Desert Rose!

Once Bitten...

Seems little Willie Mae Jane has been bitten by the HORSE FLY and her symptoms have become increasingly apparent to all!

Poor little stick pony...

Your Desert Rose!

Happy Halloween!!!

Never to early for a "Good Buck"!
Your Desert Rose!

My happy Place!

Miss Lucy Lu & Lizzy Rose have filled a wonderful place in my heart...I adore these 2 little girls and they adore each other!
Your Desert Rose!

Jesse's Girl!!!

I left the desert May 7th to the PNW...minus Jesse! Jesse was left in the fantastic care of the Bossman for the summer to be near the shoesalesman. Last year the shoesalesman flew up 2 times during the summer to shoe both Jesse & Lady. This year we decided to leave Jesse in the desert where he can stay in great shape for the desert riding and not have to work so hard next fall to get back in to shape. With Jesse's asthma and his owy toes...it's the best decision for this year. Lady and I had had some great rides this summer...but we both miss our boy terribly!!!

So please indulge me as I post some my favorite pictures of Jesse!

Jesse we miss you and love you!
The Desert Rose!
And a big shout out to Auntie Danielle who takes such good care of our Jesse!!!

The Lady & her King!

Shanna Lady Rose and her King see each other for the 1st time after a 6 month separation! They were so happy to be together again~

Your Desert Rose!

Puppy LOVE!!!

Yes...the new puppy has certainly changed things in our household! Lucy Lu is still the QUEEN of the house...as long as she can pull it off!

However... Lizzy Rose AKA The Pupperroni has many tools and toy up her sleeves!

Sock Monkey was a favorite...until he soon developed a whole, in his under arm area!

Milk bone...bone is still a favorite!

As is SNIFFFANY BONE...

and CHEWY VUITON!

OOPS...yes this is a real MILK BONE...Pupperroni tends to carry them around  bit before she indulges!

This is a typical NIGHT SNUGGLE!

Funny CAVILER BUTT!!!

1st horse camping trip...she wants to run free...nofuckingway!!! (25cents in the cuss jar)

Father's Day pose for daddy...we HEART YOU DADDY!!!

Tonight's bedtime photo...at the end of the day...with the fights, the chases and crys...it ALWAYS ends up this way at bedtime!!!

Your Desert Rose!

Tough Eonugh to Wear PUPPY!

Late this past spring my nieces Pony Girl & her Farm boy & Paint Girl & her OH visited us in the desert for a long weekend! There was of course a trail ride, farmers market, casino night, and plenty of pool time as the PNW er's needed to get a bit of color to prove they had been on vacation ;)
During one of the pool afternoons...Lizzy Rose was excited to see Pony Girl splashing around in the pool. one thing led to another...and you guessed it. I handed Lizzy to Pony Girl in the pool. Well...the PUPPERONI just curled up into a ball and cuddled into Pony Girl. Then she tried to get away...with not great luck...and then MOMMY rescued her! I quickly wrapped PUPPERONI up in towels and dried her off and let her get down. She made a bee line for the OH and jumped into his chair. From there it went uphill...so to speak!

Apparently the PUPPERONI & the OH had bonded during their stay and she decided he would protect her form those MEAN GIRLS that got her all wet! By the way...her coat was so curly after her swim ;)

And every time I would approach to take her...Lizzy's little eyes would open slightly...and I could just hear her say...My OH will protect me from you and PONY GIRL...and he did, he sat there for over an hour just letting the PUPPERONI have some safe and loving time~
Thank you OH.,..the PUPPERONI misses you too ;)))
Your Desert Rose!

Leaving...on a Jet Plane!

The end of our SNOWBIRD season has again...come to an end. However...this year will be bitter sweet for our family as we leave the desert, we are leaving one behind!

Jesse ...will be staying in the desert for the summer season at the Bossman's request. As most of you know, Jesse has terrible hooves...and with 2 new quarter cracks he needs the SHOESALESMAN close at hand to monitor him as needed. Last year...the SHOESALESMAN graciously flew to PDX 2 times to shoe Jesse & Lady every 9 weeks. However Jesse did NOT have the quarter cracks that he has now! Jesse also has asthma...it took us 3 months to get him to be able to do our favorite desert trails when we arrived from the PNW...we just do not have the same kind of cardio work out options in the PNW~

I am posting  some of my favorite pictures of Jesse...please bare with me IF you have seen them before... :)))

I will see you soon...my love!

Your Desert Rose!

PS If I did not know for a FACT...that the Bossman loves Jesse as much as I do...I could never leave him...besides....Auntie Danielle ( the Bossman's daughter...will give Jesse all the COWGIRL KISSES he needs while we are apart!!!)

I went to the stables tonight to say goodbye to Jesse...I swear he knows I am leaving...he was exceptionally loving. I left the stables teary eyed :(((

 Thank you to my niece PONY GIRL from all that jazz for the recent picture of me & Jesse!
