photo spam - now with horses! :-)

Just stuff from yesterday. Horses are in rugs now but there are birds and bunnies still out and about. And Ami is sweet as ever. Plus the Pink Ladies have developed seed-heads!!!



Crow at the paddocks, very happy how this turned out



He's not spoiled or anything...





Puppies come from pumpkins. Check outhis tail! How WEIRD is that!!!! Must have been just that little bit too quick for the digi and it overlayed the levaes but kept the outline!!!



Mum and dad were worried Kai would be too rough with a puppy this small, but he adores him! He throws the ball for him, puts up with being crawled all over, totally loves him to death.



Well SOMEONE was enjoying the fact I was airing out the rugs! :-D



Desi all snug as a bug in a rug :-D



Awww poor tired pony





Best of friends. Danny and Crumbs.

Does Desi's blanket say "Not for sale" or something to that effect on it?!

It sure does, weh ave a serious problem with rug thieves around here. They take rugs and then sell them at the stock market. Rugs marked up like that generally won't be permitted to be sold on. It helps, sometimes. Danny's rug has that sign too. And Desi's tail flap used to say I KICK!

How interesting! I wouldn't think they'd be worth THAT much that they'd be worth stealing. What do you use to mark them so it doesn't come off?

you'd be amazed. People will steal a whole paddock-load of them and take them down to the market, they can make a few hundred easily that way. Generally we paint them with outdoors paint or use huge permanant markers. My rugs are old and tattered now so it's unlikely anyone would bother. But yeah, at my old paddocks we'd get cleaned out at the start of Autumn without fail. Only Desi, Dan and an ancient old pony would be left alone.

Talk about stealing the clothes off of someone's back! That's nuts. I wonder why that doesn't happen here? As far as I know, anyway. Maybe because it's too cold for even thieves to bother going outside, hehe.

Aww at all the pics!! I love the one of Ami with the pumpkins and the one of Dan and Crumbs' noses :)
What does it say on Desi's rug?

On the side it says 'Not for Sale' :-)

Awww Danny and Desi are so cute! I love that great big Danny belly! They're adorable. Also LOVE the puppies. Especially the one of Kai with the puppy.
Thanks for sharing!

Danny needs to loose that great big Danny-belly :P
The pup is Ami, my parents Cavalier King Charles, verytough little guy with a mind of his won. He adores my parents German Shepherd Kai, and Kai loooves him. :-)

That puppy is too cute to be allowed

If you are going to do something about Dan's belly, can Peri join in because I fear that his is bigger than Dan's.
