I spent like a socialist yesterday

.... except I was using my own money. Luckily no big purchases just some carney type food, overpriced beers etc. Now I know what a funnel cake is and I never need to waste my taste buds, let alone over $5 on one again. Yuck. I should have just split one with sis but stupidly thought perhaps other fandamily members might want some. And spent $30 on re-usable lint grabbers. Well the little rubber/plastic pyramids brush part works well to lift up hair from fleece or carpet but I don't think I'll get much use out of the sticky roller things. Not $30 worth for sure. I hardly ever worry any about lint or pet hairs so it was really just buying into a good slick talker's sales pitch to make me buy one when sis got one. She does want to remove dog hair from their pickup interior easily so if the things work, will get some use out of them. Guess I've been such a hermit the last few years that my resistance to live sales pitches has gotten weak.

I did enjoy watching Ranch Horse Classic versatility and dog agility demo. I should make a point of getting some horses to some sorting practice events for cross training and maybe try to play just a bit with reining type moves with Sadie, whom I think could do the lower level moves pretty well if I asked for them correctly. Nice change from Shade and Grey who have been great sports and gone down the trails well but didn't seem suited to try reining. I loff the lazier mindset of trail riding now, but a bit of riding a pattern would be really good for me too I think. The dogs are safe from any agility training though. Its fun to watch and if a life upheaval meant I could not have horses I might try it, but no way I'd try to carve out time for it now. Dog training is limited to the dog sticking with me when I let him come along when I ride the field roads around home.
