swinger has done it one time too many

crappy night at work, home coming was nice tho. a few accidents but not a ridiculous amount. someone organized the linen shelves and greg went nutz and put up a ton more shelving so we can get even more organized when i start my vacation time....that is my goal this vacation...sift it out and find a permanent, efficient place for everything. the amount of stuff we have around here and really do need to have around here is crazy! we need tons of towels and linens cuz they go thru tons, we have a pharmacy almost as well stocked as shoppers, from meds to syringes, to dressing supplies to whatever. food. OMG. marion at bosleys donated another 20 bags today, plus all the canned stuff, treats and special diets. we have leashes and collars and grooming supplies, every size crate imaginable, xpens, small animal cages and several collapsible cages too. we have beds and pillows and magic bags, we have enough stainless steel bowls to feed an army (which we do). we have bleaches and detergents and windex, and air freshners and garbage bags galore cuz we create alot of garbage. we buy water by the case and paper towels too, and let us not forget how much cat litter we go thru every day. all this stuff has to be stored so we can find it and use it without moving everything else to get to it...it gives me a headache. i am concentrating on one area at a time or it is too overwhelming.

swinger is such a jerk. he bit ellie again yesterday. and greg told me that tonight ellie wouldn't go in the barn past the horses in their stalls, not even for a banana. now she is terrified of all the horses. excuse my language but that horse is an utter asshole. anyway, we are now separating them...horses in the top field, ellie and percy everywhere else, and the sheep and carl can wander between the two if they want.

i am going looking for some anti-psychotic meds for that horse, all the other animals are afraid of him...if i can't find something that works, i don't care if he flips out or not, we are building him an area just for him so the others can live in peace. he blows a gasket if the other horses aren't with him, altho why he cares when he is so mean to them is beyond me. too bad, so sad, enough is enough.

i am pissed now. if swinger insists on being a jerk, it is fine with me but he will be being one all by his lonesome if he is not careful.

the good news is we have a great mix of dogs right now. with the exception of phoebe, the other chaos creator, everyone else gets along really well. my bed is getting pretty full since now caro and roxy have joined the cats and tom and sweetpea at night. there is not a heck of alot of room left for me!

gosh, if i could just bring myself to knock those two rabble raisers off a little bit early, life would be so great here. sigh, it sucks to be born with a conscience.

Rose has been warned by both the mares here and is afraid of them as well. She will sneak in and grab hay when they are at there buckets at night but she keeps one eye on them and is ready for flight at all times . The horses are far more accepting of the pots then of Rose unless they are in there cranky time of the month. I have rails missing from all my fences so pigs can flee too safty from thundering playful hooves if they have too.
