I am Precious and my horse's name is Pretty Boy. Those are our barn names. That is what we get called on an everyday basis. I am a Paint horse and my paper name is Skippers Precious. My Pretty Boy is a Red Roan Appaloosa horse who's paper name is Trouper. Anywho........I tell the house mouse about our life and what happens out here on the farm and in my big red barn so she can tell you. Well now you know so on with the stories.................

I was talking to the house mouse

I was talking to the house mouse when a little cotton tailed bunny went hop hop hop right by us. It sure was a tiny thing. Little ears couldn't have been a whole inch long. I did not know that bunny rabbits lived in my barn and the house mouse said the same thing. Well now we know there is at least on of them in there and that it is very cute.

House mouse's computer went dark. Nothing on the screen but blackness and the mouse pointer. That doesn't sound like much fun and house mouse said I was right it is not much fun. Now the house mouse has to listen to me, then run tell cousin what I said and you know that house mouse mouse doesn't have a very big head for remembering a lot of letters that go to words so I am going to talk real slow and not very much.

Human girl said more rain coming this way for the afternoon so if we want to eat grass we better get out of the barn and do it now so I'll be seeing you when I see you next!

Big Storms the other day....

Big storms day before yesterday. Pretty Red Bud tree down in the little backyard of the big house. Whew what a mess glad I don’t have to clean it up. Nope that human man has the chain saw out so I stay way far away from that kind of work. I only help him if he has the hood up on a truck or the tractor. I’m not going to help him when he uses that chain saw. Then I saw the human girl coming with a big red ladder. She was saying it was a shame she couldn’t find the normal size ladder and kept on having to carry that big tall ladder around when she needed to reach something. The human man told her that ladder she was looking for was upstairs in the barn and he would get it for her if she wanted it. She said yes she wanted it on ground level please. Then she got him to carry the big ladder back out to the barn when she was finished with it. She had used it and a rake to get the tree limbs off the porch roof. They have it all cleaned up like nothing happened now and then he went to town and she came out with her doctoring stuff. My horse, Pretty Boy, is starting look pretty good. She says most of his infection is gone now. Says maybe one day next week Randall will come out and trim on that one hoof of his so he can maybe walk proper. Walks like he is using a cane right now with that high hoof. The human girl thinks there is enough good hoof there now that it can be trimmed to a more normal size. The human man says to leave that up to the professional. And she said hurumph.

Got us some sacks of fresh feed delivered today and put in my big red barn. I like that. Can’t have it as much as I would like to have it because it would be too rich for my tummy but two or three times a day is enough for a horse I suppose.

Temperature out here is going down and we are just about out of our winter coats so we are just going to stay in here in the barn and take a nap till lunch time.
