Yep, I know. Been slacking something major lately.

Well, not so much slacking as just doing other things. If you're familiar with Fur Affinity, be sure to check it out. I've been hanging out there lately. I like DeviantArt, but there are things about it that drive me insane. Such as when I'm typing this, and an ad loads, and it stops my typing and I have to keep re-clicking this damn box.

Anyway, news!

I've been volunteering at [link] lately to help with the socializing of 100 neglected horses that were seized by the ASPCA in late February. Good friends of mine are some of the organizers of the rescue, so I've been helping out. If you have any spare change, they would love you to donate. Three mares have recently foaled and are being worked with, plus the other animals are still requiring care and medical treatment. Donations have slowed down, so anything you can spare would be great! ^_^ I can vouch for the fact it really IS going directly to the horses.

With the help of Rick (friend and vice president of the organization) we're going to finalize which horse I'm going to adopt THIS MONDAY. Yep, you heard it right, folks...

LIGHTY IS GETTING A HORSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100%. No question. Rick has personally 'reserved' some of the horses for me until we can get a vet out to check them, and then see which one I want from the group. #53, #66 or a nice gelding that Rick picked today. #53 and #66 are both mares, and since they were exposed to stallions up until March 15 (Hard to seperate colts when the herd is spazzing, feral and scared shitless), they will be getting checked on Monday to determine if they are pregnant or not. If they are, I will then be adopting the lovely gelding. I do love #53 so so much, but realistically, I can't take care of a foal right now. This will be my first horse, and that would have so much room for error.

So that's why Lighty has been busy... Getting a facility picked out... and TOTALLY LUCKING OUT finding one!! Not only does Rick and his family board his horses there and can take me out with them (!!!!) but the lady who owns the place is also the one organizing feeding the horses on the Rescue 100 board of contacts!!! HOLY CRAP! What are the freaking odds?... Well, since it's a small town, not too major, but still! AND the place they are being kept right now is my old riding stable. Small freaking world, I tell ya.

The horses are doing great and everyone has been beyond helpful with this. I've had a ton of questions and everyone has been more than willing to answer them. All that research I've done over the years really paid off, because I knew just what kind of questions to ask to ensure everything was to code. Yay!

So tomorrow I will be heading out to give the guys a nice brushing, and check out some of the other geldings (Since Rick suggested I look at all of them personally rather than just take his word on it... Although his horses have won their fair share of trophies in high stakes circuts, so I would gladly take his word. His family's horses are drop dead gorgeous)

Yay! Much happiness!

I'm also heading out to Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009 with and . If you're planning to go, definately drop me a line and we can chat it up at the con. Hopefully I'll have my fursuit done by then, but with funds being put towards my soon-to-be-spoiled pony, I will be happy to simply make it there! x-D Don't worry, I'll make it... I'll just need to sell tons of MLPs while I'm there to balance it out.

Hmm... What else. Work is okay. My art is doing well (although it is slightly risque` lately... Hence it being posted only on Fur Affinity x-D).
I'm trying to find new homes for four of my birds, due to conflicts within the flock and others that would be perfect companion animals. I love the idea of sharing their love with other people. Lovebirds are fantastic creatures, and I remember my first one so fondly... Three of my current birds are still young and sweet, so we're trying to find a home where they can get uber amounts of attention. They still get attention here, but they would benefit even more with loads more attention. My fourth one... She needs to find a home that is good at handling aggressive birds. She tries to kill other birds since the death of her mate, so it's time for her to find someone that can keep her in a house with no other birds.

Got an iPod... It rocks.

It was my birthday on Wednesday. 21, baby. Legal everywhere. Too bad alcohol makes me terribly ill within moments of consumption x-)

Thinking about opening up commissions to help pay for stuff. Not quite sure yet though... Heck, not sure if anyone would be interested x-D

Two male cats have been pissing off my female cat recently. She lives in the basement (it's finished, since my boyfriend and I live there) and they have been harassing her at the windows. Both are not neutered. I've visited with them outside and they are super sweet cats, well fed and not strays... However, I have posted up a notice on the mail box asking if anyone owns these cats. If they reply, they will be hearing from me that's for sure. I don't care about having male cats around... But these two are very aggressive towards my cat, and bigger than her. If I let her outside (which I had been hoping to start teaching her this summer), they would either attack her, try to rape her, kill her, or a combination. Why must my cat be punished because you assholes can't front the money to chop your cat's balls off? Even safely indoors they are freaking her out... I can only imagine letting her outside, those two chasing her, and her running out into a street to get away from them, only to be hit by a car. Or end up lost.

Fuckers. If no one responds to said poster, I will be attaching a spare breakaway collar I have to the bigger one (most aggressive), with a note detailing that either they cut off his balls, or I will take him to the SPCA and have his balls cut off, then find him a happy new home living with someone responsible.... away from my neighborhood
