Truthful Tuesday

 

Eros here... 

Mom said I had to come on here and admit to a few things. I don't really see what the big deal is... I'm just trying to communicate my needs to her. Maybe she should listen better the first time?

So... first. Mom got new fans for our stalls, and they can turn! It's the most fun toy ever! But mom keeps saying that fans aren't toys. I mean... I don't mess with it when it's ON. I'm not stupid...

Speaking of things that mom thinks aren't toys... Water buckets. I think they are the best toys! They make a big splash when you pull on the handles! Especially when they're full! SO FUN! I taught Al how to pull the safety guards off the sides too. I don't really do that because I'm a mature horse, but it's HILARIOUS that Al takes them all off every single day. That kid is so funny. Anyway, I just like to throw mine around, especially on hot days. That big splash cools me off nicely.

And lastly, the feed tub. Mom feeds us far too infrequently, and I feel it is my duty to remind her when it's time to eat. Often she ignores me. Especially when I try to get her to come out in the middle of the night to feed us... But I gotta at least try, right? So what do I do you ask? Well, I grab the rim of my feed bucket and lift it up as high as I can, then let it drop. It makes a LOUD noise that mom seems to find super annoying. She always tells me to stop it, and "buckets aren't toys!" But like, she's so wrong. Buckets are totally toys. The BEST toys! I have a ball and a carrot toy to play with in my stall, but they are no where near as fun as water buckets and feed tubs. Not even close.

So yeah. Those are my confessions. Oh and one more, MOM IS BORING! Hahahahahahaha!

Truthful Tuesday: Eros edition

 


Eros here... I'm writing for Mom today because she said I should confess my behavior. So mom's been kinda bummed out about my little brother's passing. I didn't know him very well, but he would usually give me a hello bark in the morning when I was outside. Seemed like a nice guy. Mom loved him an awful lot. 

Anyway, I could tell mom was having a hard time getting motivated to ride today. She was puttering around the barn for like an hour before she even took my tack out. I was like, "come on mom... I don't want to be late for lunch!" But also, I didn't want to stress her. She seemed like she needed some time. But then I had the BEST idea. If I sprung a shoe, she wouldn't be able to ride me! So she could have some extra free time today to have her feelings, and I wouldn't miss lunch. Seemed like a win-win to me.

Mission accomplished!

Unfortunately, Mom didn't really agree that this was a great idea. I don't think she's really thought it through all the way, because I still think it was brilliant... I got to have an extra day off, she only had to ride Shiny. How is this bad? I still don't really know. But anyway, that's my confession to all of you today.
