Bears and Horses

Lovey discumbobulated me yesterday by sitting on the keyboard and causing all the task bars and address bars to disappear from the computer screen. I finally have them back, having played with controls for 6 hours... The kits cuddled with me all night long; and it was wonderful to have both of them sleep with me. I was able to finally catch up with my Facebook requests, after running behind for 3 weeks. - And, since I'm reading the fourth book in Wilbur Smith's series on ancient Egypt, The Quest, please forgive the Egyptian photos and references.... I'm going to have to check out some books on the dynasties, reigns, etc.... Wilbur Smith has me fascinated in yet another historical topic!

Over on the western slope, a woman was sitting in her home office working; her two dogs were with her, and her husband was in another part of the house. The dogs began to growl, and the woman went out to look, and bumped into a 400-pound black bear - the bear had broken the lock on the French door and let itself in. The lady tried to get to the front door and open it for the bear to leave, but the bear was between her and the door. She was scratched on the chest and back, but not seriously. The bear was after a bowl of candy that was sitting out on the kitchen table. The bear managed to escape, but this is his seventh break-in, and DoW is looking for him to put him down since he has no fear of humans. ... Mine That Bird had successful out-patient surgery yesterday at the Ruffian Equine Clinic. He was relieved of an entrapped epiglottis, which was causing breathing problems. Last year's Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, Big Brown, has been put back under saddle at the stud farm - he began his first exercise with a rider on board since his retirement, jogging a mile and a half. And Sea the Stars, a European bred colt, won his fifth Grade I race yesterday, winning the Juddmonte International under Mick Kinane; the race was 10 furlongs plus 88 yards, and "Stars" set a new record for the course.
