She's Back...

Last Wednesday the woman went on at great length, explaining how she and the male human were going away to eat yet more turkey, this time in a whole other country. These people are positive gluttons - they've eaten all the turkey and pie in this country and have now moved their operations to another nation.

We had a peaceful interlude with our friend Jamie taking care of our needs and generally fulfilling our every wish. No snarky comments about body shape or allusions to sneaky behaviour. Well, tonight the woman is back. I cut her dead when she came to the paddock to put us in for the night. Does her good and lets her know we can't be taken for granted. She did give us all sorts of treats and much patting so when she came out to give us our night hay I told her she could rub my ears and elaborate on how glad she was to see me.

Rather disturbingly, she told us we will have a new herd member tomorrow. It's something called a "mule" which is apparantly at least half proper equine, the other half being miniature horse. It's in dire straits and she feels compelled to help it, which of course infringes on my space since it will share my room. I plan to be very strict with it. I look forward to it's arrival with suspicion and apprehension. I will keep my readers informed of it's every move...

Have nothing to do with mules! My personal experience with Pistachio, a small evil apricot-coloured quadruped does not bode well for equine relations on Herald Road. Perhaps you should go across the street and ask for political asylum at the potato farm. I would help you but I am persona non grata after an ill-fated comment about the woman's extensive culinary abilities. You - who have been at the receiving end of her ruthless diet campaign - may appreciate the difficulty of my situation and I can certainly sympathize with yours. (I suggest you ask granny across the street to order you a dozen bales of alfalfa right away.)

Sheaffer, every day that you write in YOUR blog, you are the high point of MY day. Just wanted to let you know that.
