Carret Buffet!

 

Don't tell Small Fry!!!

My GIANT CARROTS are almost ready for harvest.

Ma dug up some the other day for me to taste.

Do you think she'll let me eat them ALL?

 

Variety

 

Even I don't JUST eat carrots!

It's very healthy to eat a variety of foods.

But I have to be careful - if I eat too much of something I could get very sick.

If you bring me snacks, you should ALWAYS ask Ma before you give them to me.

 

 

Here I'm enjoying a fall treat - some corn leaves!

Carrot, Part Four

Almost gone.

What a delicious carrot!

 

 

Hey Ma?

Can I have another carrot?

Please?

Carrot, Part Three

This is one of the BEST carrots I have EVER eaten!

 

 

 

Carrot, Part Two

I got it!

Finally!

 

 

Did I mention that I LOVE carrots?

Carrot, Part One

Sometimes my people are mean to me!

Look what they make me do for my carrots.

 

 

Come closer, carrot!

I can't make my neck stretch any longer.

Stop to Eat the Flowers

Sometimes I think about stopping to EAT the flowers.

If this pink one were just a little bit closer...

But I better check with Ma. She might get mad if I eat the flowers.

Besides, some flowers are poisonous!

Guess I'll just wait for more carrots.

MO's Flowers

 

I'm turning into quite the gardener!

Look at all my flowers.

I had to make this picture BIG so you could see them better.

MO Waiting

I'm still waiting for my carrots to get bigger.

Gardening takes such a long time.

I have to be very patient.

I love carrots!

 

 

Daisy The Snack Guard

 

Everyone knows how much I LOVE my carrots.

But the carrots are too small and I do need to snack on something.

So Ma bought me animal cookies! Daisy sometimes comes to the barn and eats them too!

The problem is, when we keep them in the barn, they get stale.

So I had to hire Daisy to keep MY animal cookies so they don't get stale.

 

Maybe it's just me, but doesn't Daisy look too sleepy for keeping my cookies safe?

A Closer Look

 

Still a bit small, but delicious!

The carrots will be bigger soon.

 

 

Don't tell Small Fry...

I don't want him to know I'm trying to grow him a GIANT carrot.

It's going to be a surprise.

A special MO-grown carrot, just for him.

 

 

MO's Garden

 

LOOK!!!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

RIGHT THERE! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE!!

 

It's my carrots, of course!

I don't know what those other plants are, but I'm sure Ma and Dad won't let me eat them.

I only get ONE ROW of the garden.

That doesn't seem fair.

After all, my POOP fertilizes the whole thing!

Please, tell them I need more than one tiny row of carrots.

 

 

Very Sad MO

I'm very sad today.

See how sad? I'm not smiling!

 

 

I wanted to blog about my carrot crop from the garden.

But I have no pictures so I can't tell you all about my carrots and how much I am looking forward to EATING my carrots - that's my favorite part!

Maybe next week Ma will help me get some pictures.

It's hard to work the camera with my hoof - all those tiny buttons.

Ahhh...

The only thing I like better than being sprayed with the hose on a hot day?

Having a nice cool drink from the hose on a hot day.

 



A Nice Bath

 

Look! Even I get to play in the water on a hot day!

 

Actually, Ma is spraying me with the hose.

I like it.



Baths are fun!

Public Service Announcement From MO

Do you see what Brian is doing?

Look closely. He's right behind me in the picture.

And he's SMOKING.

Good thing I have all this hay to hide my nose in.

I hope he doesn't catch my hay on fire!

That would be awful!!!

Somebody, quick, tell Brian to stop smoking near my hay!!!

MO's Hay Delivery

I love summer.

Lots of tasty fresh hay all for me!

 

 

I like how Brian lets me eat my hay before it's even off the trailer!

My Computer Was Sick

I did not know computers could get SICK!

My computer had a virus.

But it's feeling better now and that makes me smile!

 

 

 

I have my blog all planned for this weekend.

 

Have a happy Independence Day!!!

Rainy Days

I don't think I like rain, even if it makes the grass grow.

I get very wet and muddy.

 

I bet a carrot would make me feel better.

Really Angry Birds

I don't think this Angry Birds game sounds fun at all!

I know what angry birds are like, and they are scary.

See what I mean?

I was afraid this one would grab my ears and carry me away!

 

Birthday Dinner Continued...

Here I am eating my birthday dinner!

 

See how shiny my coat is?

That's from all the healthy apples and carrots that I eat.

Birthday Dinner!

 

Look at  my tasty birthday dinner!

 

No wonder birthdays make me smile!

Happy Birthday to MO!

 

Birthdays make me SMILE!!!

 

Do you like my pretty new halter?

It was a birthday present from Daisy! She's sorry for scaring me with the bone-chewing incident last weekend. 

Very Scary Stuff

 

I was very excited about Daisy coming to visit, but look at this!

She's chewing on a BONE!

I have bones.

What if that's a HORSE BONE?!?!?!

I don't want Daisy to chew on me.

 

It's a good thing she's so tiny - she won't be able to take a big bite.

Daisy Is Visiting!

Look!

My friend Daisy has come to visit!

I'm sure we will have a great time.

Dogs are fun to play with.

I just wish this one was a little bigger.

 



It's Finally Here!!!

 

FINALLY!

Look at all the tasty green grass in my pasture!

 

This MIGHT be even better than carrots.

But I'll have to have a carrot soon just to make sure.

Orb Didn't Win

 

What do you mean Orb didn't win the Preakness?

I thought he was sure to win!

I mean, he's almost as handsome as I am.

And I'm sure he's very nice.

Well, he can come over to hang out sometime.

We can have carrots.

Wait, do racehorses get carrots? I hope so.

I don't want any horse to live without carrots!!



Can't Quite See

I'm trying to admire my pedicure but I can't quite see!

Did you know horses can't see their own feet?

We can't, no matter how hard we try.

I need a mirror in my stall so I can see how handsome I look!

Pedicures

 

One of my FAVORITE friends came to see me this week -

Doug the blacksmith!

See now nice he made my hooves look?

I like Doug because he ALWAYS tells me I look good.

And when Ma gets done with the oil, my hooves will be nice and shiny.

Fancy!!

Can You See Me Now?

I must have been well hidden in the magnolia because NO ONE found me!

Can you see me now?

 

 

 

What about now?

Hidden!

I feel like hiding today.

I bet no one can find me here!

 

You can't see me, can you?

Best Part of Spring

 

I love spring.

I'm busy waiting for that green grass, but I also need to get some chores done.

Like raking.

 

 

Hey Ma? A little to the left, please. Thank you.

See? I told you I love raking.



Just Waiting

I'm going to stand RIGHT here and wait for the grass in my pasture to be green!

 

 

 

I hope someone brings me a carrot.

I'm getting hungry waiting!

Smiling Again!

 

I even smile in my sleep! Look closely, you will see!

You know, horses only lie down to sleep for a few MINUTES

per day. The rest of the time we sleep standing up.

And that's exhausting!

 

 

Do you know what I'm thinking about that makes me smile?

Tasty green grass in my pasture!

Is it Spring yet? Why isn't the grass here?

Sunshine Naps

One of my FAVORITE things to do is take a nap in the sun!

Of course, Ma caught me at it and took my picture.

 

 

Napping in the sun makes me very, very happy.

(To be continued....)

MO Muddy

 

Some times I get VERY dirty playing in my pasture.

Look! Aren't I FILTHY?

 

Wild MO

The snow is melting and that makes me WILD!

 

I'm pretending to be a rodeo horse today! 

King of the Mountain!

Today I am KING of this MOUNTAIN!

 

I know it's a snowbank from where Dad plows the barnyard, but still.

King of the MOUNTAIN sounds much better than KING of the SNOWPILE!

Doesn't it?

SMILING!!!

MO Portrait

 

I like to post photos of something I did during the week, but this week I want to post this lovely portrait that Ma took of me!

 

 

I am a pretty boy if I do say so myself!

An Update to Scary Plastic Bags

I found out that the bag wasn't actually trying to GET ME.

It was trying to give me a carrot.

What a nice bag.

I love carrots!

 

 

 

Scary Plastic Bags

 

Sometimes these BIG plastic bags come into my stall and flap around.

It's VERY scary.

Ma says the bags are putting shavings on my floor so I have a comfy bed.

But the bags are still scary.

LOOK!

I think this one is going to GET ME!!

 

No More Snow Says MO

I am very tired of snow.

Isn't spring supposed to be just around the corner?

 

 

I thought the groundhog didn't see his shadow...doesn't that mean an early spring?

I'm looking forward to some nice fresh green grass!!

One Of MO's Favorite Memories

This was the BEST day I had all winter! Ma gave me a WHOLE BOWL of apple peels!

Delicious AND healthy!

 

 

 

Maybe if Ma knows how much I LOVED eating those apple peels, she will give me some more.

I hope so anyway.

MO Is Busy, So...DAISY Is Posting Today

Hi! MO is VERY busy this weekend so he asked me to post for him.

I am having a busy weekend too.

Look what my mommy bought for me!

 

It's almost as big as ME!

But then, I'm not very big.

 

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Hey!

Hey!

 

What are you doing?

I'm getting snowed on! 

Snowy MOey

I got up early today and went outside to play in the snow.

Right now I'm waiting for breakfast!

It's the most important meal of the day, you know.

(Hehe. That rhymes.)

What's Outside?

Every morning I wake up and check outside for the WILD MOOSES!!

 I have NEVER seen a wild moose - or even a tame moose - but I have to look.

One day there might be one in my pasture!

 

If I find a moose out here, what should I do?
