Yuushi's birthday is tomorrow...and I am pleased to say my present for him will be finished in time. I still have a little to work on, but it won't take long.

I have a free day tomorrow, so I shall be visiting a new tailor. Ryoma, I'd like you to come with me. You've been growing, I've noticed, so we're going to need to get you some new clothes for the coming season. Choutarou, you are, as always, more than welcome to accompany us if you'd like ( Read more... )

I am pleased to say that Yuushi's camping lessons are going well so far. He has sucessfully spent two separate nights outdoors, without feeling the need to run inside. He even got a tent up on his own. He really is a quick learner, when properly motivated ( Read more... )

Hiro is absolutely enamored with the foals. It's amusing to watch how excited he gets over them...

I'm going to take Rex to get new shoes tomorrow. Ohtori-kun, as I mentioned, you are still very welcome to come watch and learn. Ryoma, you should probably come as well, as it's something you should learn about, being a horse owner.

The stablehand just came to tell me: the twins have arrived. Usually, when a horse foals twins, one does not survive. But the stablehand also says that at least so far, both are alive, and that the vet is looking them over to see about their health ( Read more... )

I would say it's been rather quiet around without Ohtori here, but...it's actually been a bit more noisy. His fiance has been hanging around almost since Ohtori left. With his almost constant frequent growling and grumbling, he is more than making up for the amount of noise we're losing ( Read more... )
