| October 6: Neener...neener For the past month, at least, Amos has been getting out into the yard. It has been a challenge, because the electricity can be off or on and he still sneaks out! So, every morning for the past month or more, I've had to put Amos back in the pasture when I wake up. Therefore, I had the bright idea to put him in the round pen at night and let him out during the day. Well, I quickly learned that I spent more time herding him back in the pasture than I did anything else! So, a few days ago, the round pen became Amos' permanent home...at least until I have a good idea to keep him in! So, I when out today and took some pictures. Amos was in an ornery mood and wanted out. He bit Mocha; he even tried to bite Jimmy. He really wanted to eat my coat, and he gave everyone the butt! (equivalent to "talk to the hand!") So, I start snapping pictures and get some cute ones. I come inside and watch them on a bigger screen. I totally think there's some picking going on in this picture! Sunny is sticking out his tongue at Amos!!!!! How funny is this picture? |
| You know what? I've recognized that it has been a very long time since I told you all a story about the horses! I could sit here and say that time, work, school, and countless other things have made me "busy." Whatever that means really? But, the truth is that I forgot to get out and play in God's creation! I allowed all those adult things and business things stand in the way. I forgot to make playing in God's creation a priority. So, I didn't have many stories to tell unless you want to hear stories from school. Nope...didn't think so! :-) So, here starts a new chapter where a new priority is to take time to play in God's creation. I hope you enjoy the stories! |
| Bo has also developed a bad habit...he chases the cats. However, I'm sure in his mind, it is for a good cause. One day, Alex was outside picking up debris from the wind storms. Clyde (a cat...very lovable cat) jumped on Alex's stomach. Clyde's claws found skin, Alex screamed and jumped, and Bo (standing nearby) thought his daddy was under attack. So, now Bo will not let a cat get anywhere near Alex. We've told him no. We've done everything as humanely as possible to no avail. To him, he's protecting his daddy! I have a hard time correcting him for protecting Alex! So, I will only do so when Alex is not around. |
| Zeke has found two new hobbies. The first is that he loves to swim in the horse's water tub! We'll all hear the rubbing and squeaking of rubber and look over to see Zeke's two back feet sticking up over the ledge. He has a hard time getting the back legs in! But, once he's in...he has the time of his life swimming and splashing around! The other hobby is getting on top of his dog house! I was surprised he could do it. Well, he passes the time by getting on the edge of his doghouse and standing on his back paws. What is he doing? He's biting at the limbs trying to get the leaves off the limbs above his doghouse! He is too funny! |
| Monkey see, monkey do: I went for my normal jog with my pup, Zeke, and along the way my shoe became untied. I was close to a small country bridge, so I lifted my foot on the railing to keep my head elevated. As soon as I put my foot up there to tie my shoe, Zeke put his paw up on the bridge too! He left it there as if it was the normal thing to do. When I had tied my shoe and put my foot down, he put his paw back on the ground too! I guess you never know who you will influence in your life. |
| Cats take over the world! October 31st: I walked up the basement steps to see the emergency blinkers on in the car. To my surprise, I peeked around the car wondering if it was a prank or I was losing my mind! Upon peering into the car, I saw three kittens: Silvie, Nike, and Taco!!!!! They were having a ball! I guess they were trying to have their own little party equipped with blinking lights! Well, as soon as I started laughing, Bo came to the car's rescue! He jumped into the car though the open window, chased all the cats out, and looked at me like he deserved a treat! Bo saved the car from the evil cats!...well, at least in his mind! |
