Dumb as a sack of hammers, a horse is still often enough a curious critter. Whenever I go out back, at least one of ’em will trot up to the fence to watch me.
As sort of a followup to this post, here are two shots of Stinky and Spot. They remain close friends, even though Spot currently outstinks Stinky by a big, wide margin. Spot got another trip to the vet on Saturday… turns out something had stopped up his exhaust port, and as a result the vet gave him an enema. There was no part of this procedure – or the consequences over the past day and a half – that was even remotely pleasant for anyone involved. Today Spot, who is by nature the sweetest, kindest cat you’re likely to find, got his very first bath.

I’m hoping to put a half-page ad in the British periodical “Aviation News.” I’ve had ads in magazines before… almost always to minimal (at best) results.

So, here’s the deal: a one year subscription to APR (or one year extension to an existing subscription) to the producer of an ad that runs in Aviation News. The ad needs to be 190mm x 134mm, and the deadline is March 10.
