Took Sonny's halter off and what does he do? Mosey off to check out the grass at the edges. hmmm.<br /><br />When he settle on a spot, ignoring me, I focused on it, headed there with vigor and whipped the spot. Was he suprised! The I smiled and waited for him to settle, which he did, again ignoring me. This tme, when I headed to claim the spot he roared off and was long gone when I smacked the spot, turned and smiled sunnly.<br />After a while of this, he came on over at a lovely swinging trot to hang with me. He figured out I OWNED the whole space.<br /><br />It was very funny. I never called him. I never asked for this lovely trot. I just stood on th elatest spot I had claimed, smiling dreamily.<br /><br />Whata charming game. And one I could win. Wow!<br /><br />Weather in Santa Cruz, CA was cool and breezy. wonderful for a day of horse play with friends.DeeDeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-49138205197707831382010-07-26T11:16:40.850-06:002010-07-26T11:16:40.850-06:00Good Morning,

We're all patient, but please do come back when you can.<br /><br /> It's been misereably hot here. Haven't been out to ride my gelding much. I think he misses that; he has taken up begging when I do his stall in the morning. Somehow I don't think that it is the treats that are what really interests him - more the company...<br /><br /> The horseflies have been awful, but my guy has not been bothered too badly. He is a light grey - the one that is suffering with them is the black mare - they hover over her in swarms...she is content to stand inside with some hay rather than joining the others on the gtass.<br /><br />Grass has been growning well; plenty of moisture this year. That moisture nearly trashed the first cutting of hay, but the second cutting should be really nice. At least hay doesn't seem like it will be to scarce here in the midwest this winter.<br /><br />Not to hijack Mug's blog, but what are the rest of you doing this summer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-45031889555583759402010-07-25T10:33:35.783-06:002010-07-25T10:33:35.783-06:00Just giving you a wave :)Just giving you a wave :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104422629934443842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-85135705651676014622010-07-22T06:09:48.692-06:002010-07-22T06:09:48.692-06:00Awesome blog!

I had myself half-convinced that you were either in a hospital, hooked up to a ventilator... orin a serial killer's freezer, chopped up in neatly labeled little baggies. I am really relieved to hear you've relatively "okay", albeit overwhelmed-- my heart goes out to you. I hope it gets easier for you, soon.<br /><br />And I agree with Rikacmo-- if you do "close down" Mugwump Chronicles, can you still leave it up and running? There is a vast wealth of solid information on this site that I go back and reference from time to time and I'd be very sad to lose access to it.<br /><br />Meanwhile--- take as much time as you need.
