Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

I never had to collect my stud horse, thankfully. I would however, hobble the mares and handle him myself. I had to do a breeding once and no one was around to help. The preacher’s wife happened to stop by and I asked her if she would do me a favor. I locked her in a wood sided pipe stall, wrapped the mare’s lead rope around it twice and asked her to hold on no matter what.
You should have seen her face when that stud horse did his thing!
She was hilarious. She couldn’t waitvto tell her husband “guess what? I watched horses have sex in the barn and I helped!”

Remembering years past- we had a red dobie female that adored the boys…all children actually. I babysat an infant for a couple that worked at the prison. He walked in the house once and reached to pick up the baby. I ran in to find him on his back with Macy pinning him there. The baby was still safely in her bassinet. I had already warned him that I had to hand him the baby or she would get upset.
All the kids were up in an oak tree by the road. A neighbor stopped his convertible under it and she went ballistic.
We took her waterskiing with us once, and made a day camp on a little “island” on the lake. The boys were upset with her because she kept dragging them out of the water.
Dogs are amazing critters
