A habit that is good

I told you the other day that the little girl across the road got to come over and play with us well she got to come over again today! But she was in the main house not outside looking at me and petting on me and giving me baby kiss's on my nose. So I stood as close to the back fence as I could and made sure most of me was near to the pen where Mudfoot, the dog, lives. She barks for me to get the humans attention and she does a good job of it. Didn't take long before that baby girl came out in her pretty pink coat with the hood up. She started to run at me but the human girl said 'no' very quietly so she stopped running and just walked up to the fence.

Teach them young. Yes that is a good thing to do. You teach the children young how to act so you will have time for more important stuff when they get older.

The baby girl got picked up so she could pat my head and give me little baby kisses and smooth my mane down. Then they went inside. But it was ok because they came out the front and out to my pasture! Oh Yes! The baby was excited. I looked at her and made sure she knew to not run. Then she was right beside me with her arms up so the human girl could lift her up onto my back. She got a little bit of my mane in her little hand and sat there very still. She is such a tiny thing I forgot she was up there and put my head down to eat some pretty green grass. Ooops. I heard that baby girl say 'oh'. But the human girl had hold of her and snatched her right off my back before she could slide down my nose onto the ground. Which might have been fun to watch but not a very nice thing for me to do. So then they went to the Pretty Boy for a sit but he had seen me put my head down to eat something so he was more interested in what I was eating then giving the baby girl a horsey ride. She can get a ride on him first the next time she comes to visit. It was really a little chilly out today for that baby to be outside for long anyway. Not long after that her Mother came to get her. She always has that boxer dog, Jade, with her and today was no different. That dog is a very happy dog. Have you ever seen a boxer dog smile? Well Jade smiles, no she doesn't just smile she grins from ear to ear! Such a happy dog.
