does Ed live in the Caribbean? Alaskan would love to be 'shrunk' in the Caribbean.

 

[Bunnylady]

No such luck, Alaskan - though I think you'd be better off with the penguin. The bird would have about the same qualifications.

Only if it is Chilly Willy.

Alaskan loves Chilly Willy.








(we have the same theme song)

 

[Bunnylady]

Oh, yeah, that would work. Chilly Willy lives in your neck of the woods anyway, right? I'd bet you could pay him in sardines, too - can't imagine he'd be too interested in brownies.

Prescription didn't work - nothing is wrong with me. All should be as normal as the mountain troll.

 

[Bunnylady]

Here we go - a little memory from my childhood: "By the Moat with the Mountain Troll." If you listen carefully, you hear Harvey stalking and then attacking him. Sour, did you fall in the moat just before you ran away? It sort of sounds like it.

 

[sourland]

Probably my first encounter with Harvey and scary indeed - yes, I did fall into the moat. Harvey has stalked me through several of my lives.

 

[Bunnylady]

Good thing for you there are two moats - it sounds like Harvey's falling into the second one is what ended the chase.

Another fair has come and gone; Baby

and I have both survived. The critters are all glad to be home again. Due to a mix-up at the Vet's office, Syd's Coggins test had to be re-done, so she wasn't able to go (poor Syd, took that bath for nothing!). She was one lonely pony with her buddies gone. When I pulled into the driveway with Betsy and Blondie in the trailer, the mule sounded off, as usual. Syd just about whinnied herself hoarse while I was getting the others unloaded. I expect Betsy told Syd she hadn't missed much; they weren't right next to the feed room this time, so there were a lot fewer carrot handouts than there have been. Worse yet, there weren't any boys to flirt with, as all of the geldings were further down the row. I'll bet Betsy thinks this was my way of paying her back for knocking me down in the pasture . . . (the mule never forgets!)

Due to some last-minute cancellations, there were some other empty stalls. I rather impulsively volunteered to bring our two Quarter Horses to fill them (their Coggins papers were current, having been done in the Spring). I had to break out the shoe horn, but I managed to squeeze both of those big gals into my little trailer. Baby

's horse Sunny was a trooper; she took the whole thing very well. My mare Latte? Not so much.

Baby

decided to ride Sunny around for a bit when we got them back to the barn. Before I turned Latte out, I warned her, "When I let this horse go, there is no telling what she'll do. She's been cooped up for 10 days." Latte went out quietly enough, but when she caught up to her buddies in the pasture, they started tearing around like crazy things. Sunny got a little agitated the first time they came running up behind her, but after that, she did just what Baby

asked her to do. Once again, those two impressed me.

General announcement!

Alaskan has decided that tomorrow is the first official, START HEATING THE HOUSE DAY!!!
