Me and my husband are wanting to buy a couple of horses. Something for us to be able to ride, but also for the grankids to enjoy too. We have 3 grand kids, ages 6, 5, and 5 months old. We definitely don't want Shetland Ponies,...

elainablack I'm right up there with Lightning on choosing a Quarter Horse (or maybe even a quarter horse cross). From my experience they are the most easy-to-handle horses I've ever owned. They really do, for the most part, have even temperments and are very gentle, a...

I am so excited! On April 23rd my husband and I are going to Disneyland together for the first time ever. I have been ever since I was about 2, but my husband has never, ever been! I think that's just wrong, lol! But honestly,...

elainablack I'm sure your dream to go will come true. My husband has never been but always dreamed of it too. Now his dream of going is becoming a reality, so I have high hopes for you! I'm really looking forward to it and will let you know how it goes. Maybe I'll even...

How old or young should a cat be when they get declawed? Do you think it is right to declaw a cat? How old was your kitty? We got my cat declawed when she was about a year old. We didnt want to wait that long, but things just kept...

elainablack Cats can be pretty possessive. And especially territorial.

elainablack What an excellent idea! Your daughter is going to have so much fun! And I'm sure the pinata will be fine, she'll probably appreciate it even more because mommy made it. It just shows how much you care about seeing your child happy. What exactly are you...

elainablack What a beautiful love story. My situation was very similar. When I finally turned 18 I was introduced to my future husband, who was just about to turn 21. The age difference not being very great, my parents were still not very pleased, though they really liked...

elainablack I hope so too. I'm sure we will, and thanks for, uh, lessening some of my guilt. I think it will be awesome for us to just take a break and have some fun together, act like a couple of kids. I forewarned my husband that I do act like a big kid the whole time,...

elainablack You know, and just to be extra-technical-geeky here, I checked the events calendar on disney's website and that ride is going to be "closed for refurbishment" when we go. So..oh well. I told my husband that and he was like "What's 'it's a small world?'" Well...

Some people view showing horses as animal abuse, but others find it to just be a sport. I have friends who show their horses and have no problem with it at all. While others I know think it is wrong to put aniamls on display for...

elainablack Excellent discussion here! I have to agree with Enigma. I wouldn't have shown horses for 14 years if my horses didn't like it, or if I felt like it was abuse. My horses always enjoyed showing and would have periods of both nervousness and excitement, just...

elainablack Right on. I agree with you 100%, which figures because it sounds like we have a lot in common. 22, married, 2 kids, and you know how I feel. Thanks for the reply!

elainablack Wow. That is interesting. Well I understand your decision to declaw her rather than ditch her, and for the safety and sanity of your poor dog. Since she is an indoor cat, she'll live without her claws alright. My kitty does just fine. Sure, it's awkward for...

elainablack 11 cats? Wow! What do the dogs think of all this? Or do they not seem bothered by one another because they're all furry humans? :)

elainablack Thanks for the encouragement! I know in time I will make friends, especially when my oldest starts school, which will be pretty soon. It's nerve-racking and exciting all at the same time!

elainablack Thank you for your insight! This is an awkward part of my life, making the transition from young adult to mom and trying to find a place to fit in and find friends. It's nice to know that there are other women in the world who can relate. I'm sure things will...

While I believe that breastfeeding is best for babies (if you are healthy and able), for whatever reason some moms have to (or decide to) make the switch to formula feeding. With so many brands out there, it's hard to make a...
