Another story by The Pretty Boy

Hi Everyone! I was just pretending to be standing in the shade where my favorite Pine tree used to be when a Giraffe stopped out there at the East gate. Been having that happen more often now that my Pine tree is gone and the top of the big ole Hickory tree is gone. Lot's of Giraffe's stopping to look and see what they can see. I know because I have seen it myself that my front pasture sure does look different. Did you ever notice it is sort of shaped like a bowl? I never did notice that before. I think the lowest place is where the Wildlife refuge used to be. Boy was that a disappointment. I thought for sure there was at least one bear living in that big pile of brush those humans made after that hurricane came thru here three years ago. But there was no bear in there. Just Bunny rabbits. Maybe there was a bear or some deer that lived in there at night. That could be it. And when they came home that night they were all standing around wondering where their house went. I don't know that for sure I'm just thinking out loud. I know it was funny watching that big ole human man become upset when his Daddy put that mouse snake into the back of his dump truck. We don't mind those snakes around here. I worry more about the mouse running around than the snake that would eat it. A little mouse or a big rat running in front of me could knock me off course and that could be bad if I am heading for my big red barn to get me some feed. The quicker I get to my barn the quicker I get to eat.

The house mouse says sometimes I have to take a breath and start a new paragraph so that's what I just did.

So now where was I anyway? Oh I was talking about going to my big red barn to get something to eat. No. I think what I was talking about to begin with was that Giraffe that was out there at the East Gate when I was pretending to stand in the shade of my used to be there Pine tree. Yes that is what I began to talk about that Giraffe. Giraffe's have very long necks so they can stand outside of the gate and see a lot of stuff. They have long legs too so you put long legs and a long neck on the same animal and you have an animal that can see things a long way off and they can reach stuff that I can't reach. I am a pretty big horse but not as big as a Giraffe.

Well I can't stand in here in the barn talking any more right now so I'll see you later..................Try to remember where I left off and I'll tell you more when I see you next time.
