During the winter months, the ponies require hay – since there isn’t really any grass for them to eat.
I’m all for giving my ponies what they want…..but they sure do eat a lot.
Just look how much hay I had to throw down from the loft the other day!
But, when I see Boomerang’s smiling face…..
…and Blitz’s happy little nose….
…it makes my job as hay thrower-downer all worth while!
Last night when I was at the the farm it snowed! Being the adventuresome type that I am, I went off to do some exploring while the white stuff was falling from the sky.
Spider (of course) took it upon herself to follow me on my adventure, and never one to be out-done, Spider did a little showing off. (don’t tell her but I was slightly impressed with her tight-rope walking skills)
And as if she hadn’t already showed me up enough, then she took it upon herself to write her name in the snow.
I can’t read “kitty”, but I’m pretty sure that it says “Spider Rules and Ammo Drools”.
Little did she know though, but I also know how to write my name in the snow!
And for those of you who can’t read “dog” it says, “Dear Spider, while you were out I ate all of your kitty food and left some yellow snow on your pillow. xoxo Ammo”.
I am Dog, Hear Me Roar Bark! hehe.
When I’m on the farm Cricket likes to do everything I do. She’s like the Cheese to my Macaroni, the Icing on my Cupcake, and the Ketchup to my French Fries all rolled into one.
When I climb logs, she climbs logs.
When I sniff scents, she sniffs scents.
And when I get lost in the depths of the giant scary log pile, she’s the one that’s sent to rescue me.
Thanks Cricket, for being the ever-lasting Cheese to my Macaroni!
On Saturday we got our first snowfall of 2012 in Pennsylvania.
I love the snow, but sometimes I’d just much rather stay in bed.
The wind can sting your eyes, and….
…when the snow freezes it can be quite difficult for little paws to trek around in.
But, duty calls and I gotta dig deep and just keep going…..
…because there are certain ponies that don’t take “snow days”…..
….and become quite angry when they don’t get their morning hay.
I don’t complain much about leaving my warm bed on snow days though….
….because after all, someone has to make sure all the necessary “scents” are still in their designated place after a blanketing of new fallen snow.
It comes at no surprise that I LOVE the snow. Sure, it’s cold and wet – but where else can you make tunnels that last for miles! So while I countdown the days until our first big snowstorm, I got to thinking, maybe I need a snowsuit?
Well lucky for me I found a whole section on dog snowsuits at Baxter Boo. Now I can hardly wait for the white stuff to fall from the sky!
You can fetch your own doggie snowsuit at Baxter Boo.
