bad day

Even horses have bad days.

no longer bored

Reading is boring, huh? Let's just see what the library has to say about that.

Lila wasn't very pleased with how long it took him to decide which book to bring home, though.

sleep, baby

It's rare now that I catch glimpses of the baby I used to know. She's growing up so quickly.

personal stalker

It truly does not matter where on the farm I am. She listens and watches for me. Waiting. Asking. Demanding. Begging.

Especially when we haven't been able to ride recently.

claiming territory

When Lila is feeling clingy and wants to spend a good while snuggling with me, Aravis retaliates by taking over as much of my lap as physically possible.

my shuga bug

Shuga has a very big personal bubble that she takes quite seriously. She doesn't care for giving or receiving physical affection. If you are very touchy-feely, she steps aside to show that it is unwelcome. This is a part of her personality that probably won't ever change a whole lot, and I'm okay with that because it's who she is.

But she's definitely becoming much warmer toward me. Today she not only allowed me to infiltrate her personal space, but also to rest my head against her. And she allowed me to stay there long enough to snap a few pictures! I can't express how hugely big this is to me.

duck in a cup

Because where else would you put a miniature rubber duck?
