Luckily, both of them CAN fix everything themselves! We had the same water leak thing with a $600+ water bill from where it was leaking up by the road. I called the water utility company and they said that if we fixed it (Pete fixed it, of course) and they knew it was a leak and we didn't use all that water, they would not charge us. All we had to do is supply proof that it was fixed. It's worth a try!

Dirt will dull the blades and also make it harder to do a "clean" clipping job without lines. Usually I bathe, wait until they are no longer dripping wet but are still wet, and start clipping. I much prefer clipping a wet horse than a dry horse. I feel like I do a smoother clip job and the wet hair isn't flying around in my face. If it is too cold to bathe I would curry and brush very thoroughly before starting.Melissa-ParadigmFarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274830693649851658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-87641326731884112442011-12-30T07:44:39.965-06:002011-12-30T07:44:39.965-06:00wow his pants are filthy!

(and if you could see the carpet of my office right now at work, there are chunks of mud and bits of straw bedding pellets...and i never wear my work shoes to the barn so i have no idea how this happens.)<br /><br />tools in the car? i can't stand anything in my car besides the required-by-law emergency kit (which must be replaced yearly because..? bandaids go bad?)<br /><br />hey i just ordered those clippers after a whole emotional rollercoaster of finding out they're not made in europe and then finding them in america, and then finding out the shipping/customs is an *additional* 150.00. somehow i discovered today they go by another brand - heiniger "the mercedes of clippers" and i found them for only 250Euros, no shipping, and they ship today and should arrive tomorrow. i have to say that is one thing about germany - mail orders take only 1-2 days. i'm so excited! now i wish you'd do a blog post about clipping technique..or maybe point me to some websites? and what is the tensioner for anyway? oh, and baasha's blanket hood arrived today so we're ready! oh, but ...how clean EXACTLY must he be? it's kind of cold for bathing.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-39961446945949039152011-12-29T21:18:03.170-06:002011-12-29T21:18:03.170-06:00Not much fun =(
