Saturday morning

Good Saturday Morning All,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was very quiet, and quiet is a good thing around here.

We awoke to a balmy 22 degrees this morning and now its 24 degrees. Horses have all been fed and are quite content.

As most know, we have a Doberman named Abby who is referred to as the MHR Cruise Director as she does all the meet and greets here at the ranch. Well one of Abby's fav things to do is to run around with one of her many BoBo's (long sausage looking stuffed toy) in her mouth. Yesterday as she was lying in the sunshine out by Spirit, something caught her attention and she wandered away leaving Pink BoBo behind.

Well, Spirit being who he is, reached through and picked up Pink BoBo. As we went out to feed we noticed that Spirit was shaking something around with a great deal of vigor. It was limp, and I truly thought it was one of my little hens from a distance. As we approached, we saw that it was the remains of Pink BoBo. There was no stuffing anywhere and I was very concerned as to where did this stuffing go...well we did not have to look far. Spirit had every bit of the stuffing in his water tank. There it was soggy BoBo stuffing on the bottom of the tank just waiting for us to scoop it all out. What a cold chore that was, but all was removed and everything went back to normal except for Pink BoBo which of course received the proper disposal.

Spirit is one of those horses who is always into everything, very curious about it all. Spirit is like the Dennis the Menace of the horse world..but you gotta love him. So full of life and energy..bless him for that.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful wonderful day!

Stephanie
