Outside

Guysguysguys!  The ground was DRY and NOT COVERED IN SNOW for the first time in literally months!  Guess what we did after I finished chores?


We practiced our leg yields on a trail ride!  Walk-only, because I did my judged 14.1 workout last night, and my back is tight.

"I believe something to the right is going to eat me."

While I was at the barn, I texted my husband to ask how his morning was going and he was like "Oh, good, made low carb pancakes, read my book, gave Bitsy eyebrows" and I just sort of ignored that third one, but when I came home I was greeted with this:

Don't judge the dog hair, we are deep into Husky shedding season and that's about six hours worth of hair.

Yeah.  He gave her eyebrows.  I really don't know what I expected.  And then he took her to Petco to buy dog food, where the people working the puppy adoption event commented on her strange facial markings.  He just let them believe she was born that way!

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Haha. That's funny! And yah for no snow on the ground. Spring is coming!

Jen said...

Oh, that's about to end in a few hours. We're supposed to get 0.1-0.25" of ice and on top of that 3-5 inches of snow. March, ha!

That is hilarious!

So glad you got to go on a trail ride!

Erika said...

Those eyebrows are epic. :) And yay for trail rides!

Jenn said...

Hahaha I literally laughed out loud at her eyebrows! Too cute :)

Jessica said...

That's hilarious!!

Alicia said...

Omg love the eyebrows!! Also love that you didn't question the eyebrows....

redheadlins said...

Omg yes the eyebrows, my husband used to use my blowdryer on charlie after baths!

Amanda said...

Okay, the eyebrows are funny! and Yay for riding outside!!

Jen said...

I wish! We are getting freezing rain right now, so not soon at least!

Jen said...

Haha, I wish I had been there for it. I don't know how he kept a straight face.

Jen said...

Thanks! Connor is too, I will never complain about having an indoor, but he does get a little burnt out in it. Even in the outdoor, I think he feels like he's getting somewhere/the work is worth it.

Jen said...

Yes! Does Gavin seem to need them as much as Connor?

Jen said...

Thanks, he's a funny guy. :)

Jen said...

I know, leave the husband alone with the dog and...haha.

Jen said...

I have no idea why I didn't. I don't even know what went through my head when I read that, I just didn't even think about it.

Jen said...

Haha that's awesome! I think my vacuum-hating pair would explode if we did that.

Jen said...

Haha I know, when I got home we spent the next five hours giggling every time we saw her!

Tracy said...

YAY FOR RIDING!!

Unknown said...

I want your dogs, they are so pretty. Look at that mane, so nice and tame!

Jen said...

Aaaand then we get plunged back into ice.

Jen said...

Yes! Winter blanket hoods are magical things that I had not considered before in my mane taming adventures.

Carla said...

LOL. Next time you go to Petco, you should draw on eyebrows in a different style, like Frida Kahlo or really surprised eyebrows and see if they notice the difference.

Jen said...

My husband laughed so hard at this comment. I had to google Frida Kahlo, but after googling, I completely approve. He'd use a whole stick of eyeliner for that one!

Liz said...

So funny- love your husband's sense of humor...sounds like it's been a long winter for all of us!!!

Boss Mare Eventing said...

So jealous of NO SNOW!

I always paint hearts on my dogs when I paint...so cute...love the brow :)

jenj said...

Elias (our malamute) says he does not approve of eyebrows. Also that your husband is a big meanie. ;)
