"Fixed"

And then he said, "See... I fixed it."

Where's the Hay?

Sorry Johnny. You are out there in the dry lot for a reason. Vet says to skinny that boy down!

The Clean-Up Crew

We went to get hay from Farm Supply and brought home our four bales. That will last us about four months. You can always count on Johnny to clean up any scattered bits of hay. He has a "No hay stem left behind" policy. It's not as if he is going hungry... as you can tell!

The Grass is Always Greener

Johnny took himself on a little walk about. We came home from shopping to find him grazing on the front lawn.

He has learned how to open the gate to get out of his pasture. If we don't show up with alfalfa hay by about 4 PM, he feels justified in opening the gate and going to the front lawn. I went to the barn and banged and clanged his bowls around and he came running right into his stall. Food is all powerful!

OK, you silly, fuzzy boy. Now you are back where you belong and don't give me that look! Tomorrow I need to do something about that gate!

Be Prepared

Johnny already has his winter coat on. He was so shiny and slick in July and August but by September he was already getting his winter woollies. It doesn't even get that cold here but he still prepares for the worst. We had a heat wave the last of September and the poor little guy just stood in the barn out of the sun. I took him apples to take his mind off his troubles!
