New Years Resolutions and Desires

Wednesday January 2 2008

HORSES:
DIEGO:
To keep looking cuter than everybody else no matter what I do. To not have to work beyond standing still and wearing a bonnet and saddle and necklace. To get lots of hugs and lots of carrots because I am funny and cute. To keep rubbing my mane in the sagebrush so I always smell very good and M buries her head in my mane with more hugs. To be fed grain.

FINNEAS:
To be worshipped. To get lots of attention. To have my way in everything. To not have to be ridden away from the house onto the trail (though once I'm out there, it's kind of fun). To get lots of kisses. To have Connie come visit me and ride me. To get lots of carrots dipped in molasses. To get all the women. To be The Ultimate BIG BOSS. To be fed more grain.

MAC:
To be retired. To find my Nebraska ranch home. To find cows and ride herd (if I must work). To not be eaten by those Horse-Eating Monsters hiding in and under sagebrush. To get more carrots. To be fed more grain.

PRINCESS:
To be treated like the Princess I am. To have M always scratch my hairy itchy neck. To get more carrots. To be fed grain.

DUDLEY:
To remain slim and cute while eating lots. To eat lots. To get into as much mischief as possible. To escape from every pen I am in. To be remembered as the famous Equine Houdini. To be in the circus or Cavalia (those Lusitano stallions have got nothing on me!). To get more hugs. To get more carrots. To be fed grain.

QUICKIE:
To not get caught. To get more carrots. To be fed more grain.

DOGS:
QUINCY:
To get M to take us on walks twice a day. To get to sleep inside on the couch every day and night. To eat more horse poo without getting caught. To get more dog food.

AUSTIN:
To get M to take us on walks five times a day. To get to sleep inside on the floor every day and night. To catch a rabbit. To eat more horse poo without getting caught. To get more dog food.

GIRLIE:
To get M to take us on walks ten times a day. To get to sleep inside on the couch every day and night. To be petted till I explode. To catch a deer. To catch a rabbit. To bite horses when nobody's looking. To eat the cat. To eat more horse poo without getting caught. To get more dog food.

KITTY:
To not get eaten by Girlie.

ME:
To ride more. To eat more. To touch a (live) Raven.

THE RAVEN II:
What more is there, after you've climbed Mt Whitney, ridden 3000 endurance miles, sat on the Royal Yellow Carpet, ridden horses around the world? Well then, just to do more more more!
