I keep forgetting to blog

So I am apparently pretty terrible at remembering to post.  Since it has been so long since my last post I will make this one more of a photo blog.

My 23rd Birthday Cake.  Never too old for a fun cake

Police Horses Patrolling the City (sorry the horses are in the shadows... didn't want to be too obvious taking a picture)

Trying to decide if I am an OK person

The cat decided I am a good enough person to sit on

Yesterday a friend and I took a shift volunteering with the vet school teaching horses.  We went and groomed the horses, picked their hooves and turned them out onto pasture.  One of the horses had managed to get a rather large stone caught in his shoe.  After much effort they were unable to remove the stone.  They decided to take his shoe off since the farrier was coming to put one of his other shoes back on in a couple days anyway.  They let both my friend and I work on taking the shoe off, which for both of us, complete horse novices, was a lot of fun.  I definitely have a new found respect for farriers, it is tough work!

I am on Easter break right now.  On Saturday I leave for a town called Borgue in Southwest Scotland for a two week lambing placement.  Should be fun!
