You are a very interesting writer, i.e. person. I am an octogenarian who should have much more time to read than I do, but my husband and I have not decided- or been forced- to downsize into what I have always disparagingly called “the hotel,” an assisted living facility. We still live independently on ten fully fenced acres (by himself!) and work hard to stay fit and healthy enough to continue to care for our “family” for their lifetimes: two horses and three dogs, four of them rescues. Two of the dogs are very large guard dogs, a 142 lb Kangal intact male and 121 lb female Great Pyrenees.
Our horses are a large red dun Steens Mountain Mustang, 25 years old, that we adopted almost three years ago as a companion for our then 26 year old Peruvian/Arabian mare, who pranced out of our barn to meet him like a parade horse and immediately went into heat! It was a sight to behold. We lost her at age 28 and were given a companion for Red by friends who have too many horses, another red dun, an Icelandic 22 yr old mare. Another match made in heaven.
BUT this explains why my reading time is limited. What I wanted to do here is simply tell you that I have looked at your beginnings on Substack now and am honored to be your first “likes” on two articles. I really enjoy your perspective! Keep writing! 😊
