As if being constantly laundered by the mad Haflinger Washing Machine weren't bad enough, yesterday an envelope with Molly's name on it arrived in our mailbox. This is not good.
It proved to be a valentine from her beau, Buddy in Nevada, and it has completely gone to her hard-as-granite pony head. She is opinionated and bossy to start with but now that she has received valentines from Buddy two years in a row, she is beyond insufferable.
The front of the card says "For Someone SPECIAL". Inside the verse reads "Today is a day for celebrating the people who make our hearts happy like you! Happy Valentine's Day." It is signed "Love, Buddy."
Buddy, I want you to know that this has resulted in Molly bellowing at me "You have to stand still while I'm washing you because I'm SPESHUL!" Or "Give me that carrot - I'm SPESHUL..." or "Let me roll on your lunch hay - I'm SPESHUL..." I think you get the picture. This has not been good for an ego that is already bursting at the seams.
Last year she began to forget about THE CARD by the time early spring grass distracted her. Given our unusually harsh winter, with no hint of spring in sight, my only goal is to survive the terrible onslaught of being Haflingered. It's not easy living with a pony who is worshipped by a long-distance boyfriend.

Hay Sheaffer - did she like the card - what did she say? I'm so happy she got it in time for Valentine's Day. She is my SWEET!!!!
Your fren,
You know Sheaffer - Molly can come here anytime and boss me around and wash me - it would be a real treat to have such a beauty in my paddock - worshiping me like she does you.
XXOO
Wow - clearly we need to send YOU a Valentine saying something that will deter Molly from lathering you!
I thought surely Molly's infatuation with her mirror would be what increased after another symbol of Buddy's affection.
When is Doc coming home?
Buddy, this card has been the high point of Molly's whole winter - she is positively glowing - in fact she looks somewhat radioactive to me. I would be absolutely thrilled if she could go to you for an extended visit...
Oh Billie, you read my mind - when oh when will Doc return? I'm afraid he's having a lovely sociable winter, visiting with humans and horses alike and doing his exercises in the large indoor riding room. He is in no hurry to return. I feel otherwise.
I know you can't leave Molly alone there, but I wish you could pack up and head south to us. Finally! The ground is dry and Rafer and Redford have been busy instituting two new dust pits in the back field. I'm sure they would do a third one just for you!
Hi Sheaffer,
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Your Fan,
Willy
Billie, I have but a faint memory of this thing called dust...I do remember that it isn't cold and wet.
Willy, thank you very much indeed and the best of the day to you,too! Did you receive special valentine's treats? It would seem logical, you being the lone male in a herd of females...
Hay Sheaffer - sorry I caused such a ruckus at your place - but I do love my Molly. Any new pics of her???
When you talk to Jack - tell him I'm thinking of him always and hope he is well.
Your fren,
Buddy, there is a new post coming right up! The Ruckus has died down for now...
