Molly is the barn favourite at her winter boarding place and it's doing her ego no good at all. She is being hugged and patted so much her hair may wear off. Not to mention the illegal treats. She'll probably return home with an entourage. However, she still hasn't found what my grandmother would have called a "beau" to replace you, so fear not. You are still the golden couple.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-51900239322778736492009-01-10T18:13:00.000-08:002009-01-10T18:13:00.000-08:00Hay Sheaffer - love the rules dude.

Now on #7 - I will go on and on about Molly's beauty - as I do not live there and do not have to follow the rules.<BR/><BR/>Your Fren,<BR/><BR/>BuddyBuddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356739227129758160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-58873518179752427752009-01-10T16:25:00.000-08:002009-01-10T16:25:00.000-08:00Billie, I have these rules posted outside my stall...Billie, I have these rules posted outside my stall in case any of my civilized friends come to visit. They are completely lost on Doc and Penny and even Jack. The cat just says "pffft" to them and she is of Russian descent. I live in the midst of Neanderthals.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Gale, I would be most flattered if you used my rules! I'm sure Catherine the Great wouldn't mind either - she seemed like a sensible sort of woman, and probably kindly disposed towards donkeys.<BR/><BR/>Dougie, please feel free to quote the rules at length to your race horse companion - though I can't guarantee anything will permeate his horse brain. There is a footnote at the bottom of the rules regarding the "Telemachida". It says "The Telemachida was a contemporary Russian poem about the adventures of Telemachus, son of Odysseus, which most contemporaries found tedious and long-winded." Your woman might have a tiny bit of trouble hunting down a copy, but urge her on, using the icy freeze-out technique if necessary. She could walk over to Russia and find you a copy.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-48633305397901758772009-01-10T09:40:00.000-08:002009-01-10T09:40:00.000-08:00Sheaffer, the depth of your learning never ceases ...Sheaffer, the depth of your learning never ceases to amaze & inform my youthful brain! <BR/><BR/>My woman had no idea what the "Telemachida" was, but is now under instruction to find a bookshop open on a Sunday & to purchase a copy. I expect a few stanzas to be read to me every night, whilst I am consuming my evening repast. I find a little thought to be of assistance with my digestion.<BR/><BR/>May I also adopt your rules? The foolish ex-racehorse would benefit immensely from some working parameters for his behaviour!Dougie Donkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581014133834593015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-79424334674403353212009-01-09T08:07:00.000-08:002009-01-09T08:07:00.000-08:00Sheaffer,EXCELLENT set of rules for your barn, as ...Sheaffer,<BR/>EXCELLENT set of rules for your barn, as long as your add ins are observed also....do you mind if I copy and use them here in our barn? <BR/>Jack's wisdom is astounding, and poor DOC is trying to make amends, although in a weird way..his understanding is a bit shallow though, so humor him for sure. <BR/>Mr Galerobert5721https://www.blogger.com/profile/03859169776790967092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-19816531914693662532009-01-09T05:29:00.000-08:002009-01-09T05:29:00.000-08:00Sheaffer, how smart to adopt those rules and tailo...Sheaffer, how smart to adopt those rules and tailor them to suit your barn. <BR/><BR/>In our barn we are not nearly so refined. I draw the line at anyone hurting anyone else, but all sorts of shenanigans go on otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Keil Bay has not quite forgiven me for giving the donkeys the run of the barn aisle, but ever since Rafer had to spend so much time in his stall with his leg, I cannot bear to close him in.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.com
