Good morning! I slipped into work this morning, we had freezing fog! That's a rare one! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!

I'll do that when I see them today.

The guy who is letting them stay in his building will probably have a hard time giving them back. They're buddies now. He lets them run the place during the day and everyone takes turns letting them out and cuddling with them. They have a cat to play with too.

It's going to be a very busy day so I might not be on later. I have to get utilities turns on and get things thawed out in the house. I have to get things moved around in the kitchen, clean the whole place, and see the girls. Have a good day, all. If I can swing it I'll try to make a before and after video of the place.

Hi Skid,

I've just read your more recent posts and rapt to see you've got a house to live in now. Really hoping you can get the girls moved in there within a couple of days, so you can spend Christmas together in your own place! Does it have a fenced back yard they can run around in?

As for us, we're doing the best we can. We both got colds or a bit of a virus (or both) about 2 weeks ago and that wears you down. We're slowly getting better now, but for some days I've had to keep the cooking pretty simple. Just making sure we get enough to eat and that's about it. I've barely done any cleaning and only do a load of washing when I've had to.

Also, she's doesn't get to sleep properly until around 2 or 3 am, because she has a cough (from the virus) that is always worse when she lies down. Naturally, I can't sleep until she's settled. So I got her some medicine & it seems to be helping a bit. I was able to get to bed at ~1.30 am this morning, which is an improvement on the last 10 nights or so.

To Night and everyone: many thanks for the greetings and I hope you are all doing ok!

17 HH is a big horse! Had a friend way out in the country back in Oz whose Dad (Alan) had such a horse. His name was Lokinvar and I got to ride him once. Not sure if he was a full Thoroughbred or part, but he was the best horse I ever rode. Really smart and watchful (he always kept an eye out for rabbit holes), and never tried any sneaky tricks to throw you like some horses do.

Alan used to be Showmaster at a lot of the country shows in the region. He always rode Lokinvar and there were plenty of farmers who really wanted that horse. One day a wealthy farmer offered $5,000 for him. This was back when a new, 3-bedroom solid brick house cost about $10,000. So, it was a lot of money. Alan just told him, "Sorry, mate. Lokinvar's not for sale."

Hi JustMike -

Good to see you on the board this morning! Hope the colds continue to get better.

Good Day my Beautiful Shed people!

Jess, I just love that coffee mug sweater! LOL! I must have one!

Mike, Sorry to hear that you and Dada have been sick. If I lived closer, I could have made you guys some healing chicken soup. The healing part comes from the pixie dust.

Hello to whoever is still here or lurking or hoping to join us soon!

Leaving in about an hour. It will be my Christmas get together lunch with my friend Linda and then we'll do our usual grocery shopping and running around.

Waves at Gordi, Skiddy and Shep! I see you guys up there!

a reply to: JustMike

Hi Mike!
Lokinvar.... sounds very much like LochInver! Which is a village and fishing port way up in the north of Scotland.
It's a very beautiful and scenic area, quite remote but popular with anglers and hill walkers.
I wonder if there was a connection between Alan and that area???

Big Hugs to Dada!

I like sheep, they're cute!

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer


Jeez Santa, you didn't even say hi to one of your elves. Think I'll go out and play with the dragons now.

a reply to: Night Star

Sure, except for the ones that are huge and angry.

Continued from Page 187



"Shepherd, I thought I felt you. Time to die," it growled, laughing.

Shepherd did not take the bait, but he was uneasy. He had chanced a glance off to the side and saw Night Star go down. He hoped she had just been dismounted, and not killed. Syx was still airborne but the fighting above him was fierce, and Shepherd's protective instincts were screaming at him to act.

"I see you, Exolus Atu," he responded. "Your master will not prevail here. I will not allow the Horde to destroy this place."

The demon spat. "I will kill you and rip out your spine, like I did to Inisa. Do you like my axe handle? Recognize it?" the creature sneered. "You should. She screamed herself voiceless long before I took it from her body," he grinned. Ealong and Uluyk brayed their heartache, and rage exploded inside Shepherd.

"I will end you, demon," Shepherd snarled, whirling the staff. Exolus Atu laughed as he fought, but Shepherd's bladed staff struck again and again, purple lightning flashing and crackling around the ends. One of his blows sliced the cord holding the severed heads and they fell to the ground. The demon snarled at him.

"You are a fool, Shepherd! You should have known better! You cannot defeat me!"

Black fire roared from the creature's axe and he attacked with renewed fury, setting Shepherd on his heel. He fought desperately, trying both to keep the demon at bay and still maintain the Ward protecting the Flock. It was too much. The demon got inside his defense, and he only partially blocked a killing strike by the gruesome axe. The side of the axehead glanced off Shepherd's temple, a blinding flash of pain erupting in his head. The Ward winked out and Exolus Atu moved in for the kill as Shepherd's face hit the snow.

Wait till you see what happens NEXT!

Blasts of flames shot out of Their mouths connecting to the heads and bodies of air born demons, the Dragons fought ferociously! There were hundreds of Dragons filling the skies with Their wings, and fire.

Some of the demons who had not yet been made solid, flew in the skies as wispy little clouds giving off feelings of dread and death. They were mixtures of colors. Reds, purples, grey's, and black swirled within Themselves. They began to mimic the dragons, and took on Dragon shapes! They were trying to confuse the already battle weary Dragons, Who were taking the lives of the demons left and right.

Demon after demon, and the demon Dragons fell to their death's, streaming fire behind them. As soon as They hit the ground, They turned to ash. Those piles of ash were trampled and scattered by the feet of Valiant Warriors, fighting the demon hordes on the ground.

From the sky, Syx could see His friends, and Their kin, fighting a wicked battle against the demons on the ground. Elves, Ogres, forest gnomes, wielding swords, and Battle Axes, Trees using Their branches as huge clubs fought against the demons, and both sides were taking a toll of fallen brethren. However, there were far more dead demons, than there were the Good hearted Warriors!

Huge Stone Warriors standing 30 feet tall, smashed the evil ones on the ground! Nothing could stop them! Some of the evil ones actually turned and ran away!

Syx looked down and saw Night Star and Her friends, and Shepherd fighting Valiantly. Shepherd took the beatings given Him by the Demons He fought. He gave out Wicked blasts of His Staff flashing purple lightening, ferociously fighting the Demons hordes!

"Syx! NightStar has fallen!" One of the Dragons said to Syx."Go there now!" Syx answered back. "See that She will be alright!!" He finished with. As He spoke those words, he felt Nightstar within His heart and knew She would be alright...

With everything that was going on, Syx's mind was full of visions of death. He could feel the trauma, the death, of some of his friends on the ground. He could feel the same for some of the evil ones too.

Syx saw Shepherd hit the ground, face first. 'What is this?!' Syx thought and the thought was picked up by all the Dragons, and by some of the other Warriors on the ground.

Syx and a few other Dragons banked Their wings, and angled towards Their Friend on the ground. They dive bombed the Evil Creature Exolus Atu, and spat fire balls at Him. Wave after wave of fire hit the Demon, and it fought back by swinging His evil axe, never connecting to the swiftly moving Dragons. They spat Fire time and time again as He swung His mighty axe...
