I have never worked in fast food, but if I did I'd want to work here.

I had a really humbling moment yesterday…

This mare who can’t easily position her poll to the right or use her left hind in haunches-in right…

It was me the whole time.

She does have some asymmetry, but it was literally me not getting my leg aids where they needed to be… by like an INCH. 🙈🙈🙈

Changed my spur placement (positioned, not active), by like 1 or 2 inches, and she immediately did it, and I was ridiculously embarrassed, because Bern got to see me have an existential crisis of, “Do I even know how to ride?” 😂😂😂

It’s been MY left leg the whole time. 🙄🙄🙄

I told Bern, the bad news is… it’s me.

The good news is… it’s me.

Which is a lot easier fix than if it was her!

How the Kong ball was invented.

The Kong toy was invented by accident more than 40 years ago when Joe Markham needed a way to prevent his German Shepherd Fritz from biting on rocks and sticks. Fritz, who Markham adopted as a shelter dog, had worn down his teeth to one-third of the size they should have been.

He was working on his vehicle and tossed an axle stop with an attached bracket on the ground. His dog got hold of it and loved it. He was playing with it joyously, much to Markham’s amusement.

He said to his friend, “What do you think of my new dog toy?”

His friend replied, “Actually, it’s not too pretty. It looks like an earplug from King Kong.”

And the Kong toy was born☝😉
