Hey....HAY!!!!

They put us a big round bale of hay up here in my big red barn yesterday. I did not know why but I was ready to help if help was needed. The human girl told me that I needed to move back so the tractor could come in. I needed to see what the tractor was going to do once it got in there. Didn’t they want me to go in and make sure it was okay for that tractor to go in there? I guess not. That human girl put both her hands onto my chest and started pushing me backwards…UPHILL! And I did it too. Oh sure it wasn’t much of an uphill but it was uphill and I did back up it. YEA ME! So then she had me out of the way of the tractor and he went in my barn backwards. What’s going on is everything backwards today? I needed to go inside and see why he was going backwards. But that would have meant me going forwards and that was not going to be allowed so I stood there ready to help if they needed me. Somehow they got that roll of hay out and in place without my help. I went in to make sure it was good hay and it was. But then I realized my horse, The Pretty Boy, was not coming in to eat some with me so I went out to tell him we had fresh hay and he should come have some.

My Pretty Boy’s foot is still hurting him some so he is slow. I make sure to wait for him no matter how long it takes. I was going down to see the guinea hen in the old barn this morning and about halfway down there I realized my horse was not coming with me. Well I wasn’t going to leave him up there by himself so I went back up to him. Checking on that hen can wait I have to take care of my horse. He, Pretty Boy, is being real nice to the human girl too. He is picking his foot up and letting her hold it while she puts medicine on it. She got him some powdered stuff the other day. Told us she was not going to put his foot into a bucket of Epsom salts until it heals some. She said it would just burn too much and the powder stuff doesn’t burn him. That’s nice of her to do that for my horse. We both try to take good care of him and we know he appreciates it.

I got a really good brushing yesterday and so did the Pretty Boy. We looked real pretty afterwards so of course we went down to the pond and rolled in the mud. Oh boy what fun was that!!!

The human girl told me that tomorrow after the thunderstorms it is going to snow. I’m still waiting to see what my horse, the Pretty Boy thinks of snow. We don’t think it will snow in the land of Squatamala but we haven’t heard from the King of Squatamala or his Queen so we don’t know for sure.

Did I tell you that the King of Squatamala is building a new fort? I heard them talking about it the other day and it sounds like he might have almost finished the outside stuff. The Queen of Squatamala said she would send the humans a picture and if she does I will see if the house mouse will post it on here for you to see. I hear it is a very big castle set in the woods by a big lake. WoW! That's sounds neato doesn't it.
