Dovely

Devil May Care is the horse of my friend GG and this horse will Run for the Roses on Saturday.

She is pretty excited and I’m excited for her.

Now I said before that just because I live in Lexington, Kentucky doesn’t mean I have a horse or go to horse races.

I’ve lived in Kentucky for more than thirty years and only met GG in 2004. So we don’t all know each other when it comes to living in The Horse Capital of the World.

I think this may mean if you know me (or are one of my blogmates) that you are only one degree away from a Kentucky Derby contender.

Oh, hey! Does this mean since I was in that movie with Gil Bellows who was in that movie with Tim Robbins and he was in that movie with Kevin Bacon that I am only three degrees away from Kevin Bacon? Or that I’m only two degrees away from Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and Stephen King? Or that I’m only… Oh, hell. This could go on forever!

So I will be tuning in at about 5pm to watch the race and root for GG, her darling hubby, and their horse, Devil May Care.

…but outside it’s raining buckets.

Lily doesn’t mind the rain and loves the cold. Sometimes we have to drag her or trick her with treats to get her in the house for the night. She wants to stay out in the cold 24/7. A few minutes after I took these photos she appeared at the back door covered in mud — much like on that other day…

I still prefer her best when she’s clean and dry:

Of course her feet are always a bit dirty. Some things just defy prevention…

Remember the Dovely baby? She still lives nearby so I get to see her now and again. Isn’t she just adorable? I’m still in love with her. In my heart she still feels like my little girl. I don’t know if that feeling will ever leave. I don’t know that I want it to… She’ll be three years old in July ’10. She talks a lot — and sings!
