I see myself in understated paisley. If I had to wear that ridiculous sports jersey, surely they can come up with something sophisticated for my leisure wear.<BR/><BR/>I find that humans are prone to brain lapses - unlike Jack and self, who would never forget a password (especially if it gave access to something important like food). We equines must just grin and bear it, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>AND, my trophy has not yet materialized...heads will roll if it does not appear soon. If I am to be dressed like a buffoon, I should at least have the hardware acknowledging my gracious participation.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-56676239614000641272008-06-28T12:08:00.000-07:002008-06-28T12:08:00.000-07:00Sorry I haven't been posting but moms forgot her l...Sorry I haven't been posting but moms forgot her login and password and it just miraculously came to her yesterday.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the award little dude - very cool.<BR/><BR/>Glad to her TJ the Terror is doing so well. And Jack - well moms is in love with Jack - thinks he is the greatest - me - well I have never been around little equines before so I guess they are OK.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully I'll be back if my woman can remember how to get here.Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356739227129758160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-38879141345314381952008-06-28T12:07:00.000-07:002008-06-28T12:07:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356739227129758160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-13159652524235907992008-06-27T18:51:00.000-07:002008-06-27T18:51:00.000-07:00and don't forget the smoking jacket!!and don't forget the smoking jacket!!Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356739227129758160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-58297958526473115852008-06-27T11:24:00.000-07:002008-06-27T11:24:00.000-07:00billie - yes!

He's learning, though, but I expect his need to do everything at warp speed is a function of extreme youth that may mellow with age. I just can't imagine running around in this heat and not even breaking into a damp "glow" but TJ does so constantly. Jack is all for having his own mug asap.<BR/><BR/>Gale, we do finally have peace in the valley, so to speak (though we live on a hill). Your brilliant idea of after-dinner cognac and cigars fairly takes my breath away - I will put the proposition to the woman immediately and see if she's not too cheap to comply. I also feel a top hat is required to enjoy both other elements. Possibly a monocle...ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-27778870348670864592008-06-26T17:23:00.000-07:002008-06-26T17:23:00.000-07:00Well, well, before you know it, you and Mr. Jack w...Well, well, before you know it, you and Mr. Jack will be having cognac and cigars in the evening!

I thin...bille - we could rename it a "cup of Jack". I think Jack would very much like a mug with his mug on it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you horsebroke - I hope your words reassure any readers who got the wrong idea. Much as it galls me to admit it, it seems that in the right environment he is making progress, even if his sense of humour doesn't always leave the older residents laughing. He truly is like the human offspring who pulls the fire alarm in the cafeteria, waits for the place to empty, and then eats all the desserts.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Gale, I also wondered if life would become rather humdrum around here once the lunatic left but Jack is stepping up and filling in TJ's midget shoes. Thank you for your loyal support - it means a lot to a donkey.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-51073134062574621872008-06-26T07:46:00.000-07:002008-06-26T07:46:00.000-07:00Sheaffer,youall are taking care of things admirabl...Sheaffer,<BR/>youall are taking care of things admirable, and training your woman should be fun with Jack to help you!

I can't tell you what a dignified old fellow Jack is. I think Jack thinks he's hit the payload and is staying at one of those upscale retirement resorts where they supply everything including the entertainment. Despite Jack's worldy wisdom he is more than happy to have Sheaffer fill out the daily activities program for him. <BR/><BR/>T.J. or as I like to call him J.D. for juvenile delinquent is slowly starting to get with the program at his new camp. In response to comments left from previous blog I would like to go on record that T.J. never ever showed signs of open aggression to any people or animals for that matter. I don't think T.J. really knows how to play fair and in his mind it was all or nothing. T.J. did play rough but it was all play!! Unfortunately the animals at farm #1 had never really encountered anything like him. T.J. is kind of like the Huck Finn of the mini mule world. Hit hard and fast and leave people wondering what just happened is his motto. I have also heard that regardless of the mayhem T.J. has created at the rescue, it is not anything less than letting a hyperactive 5 year old loose in a seniors residence. Once the shock wears off, it's nothing that anyone can't handle. In a quiet understated way, the oldtimers are winning the war against T.J. and T.J is beginning to see the merits of manners and boundaries and is even beginning to like having his ears scratched. Thank goodness there are people in this world that don't give up so easily.<BR/>Cheers to all... horsebrokeHorsebrokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520734433945289569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-65439355735996470382008-06-26T05:52:00.000-07:002008-06-26T05:52:00.000-07:00I think I see a Jack-themed coffee mug in the futu...I think I see a Jack-themed coffee mug in the future, to go with the Sheaffer T-shirt...!<BR/><BR/>The woman is fortunate to have such responsible barn managers.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.com
