Meandering with Marilyn

I cannot believe that over a month has passed since MO has allowed me to blog.

She’s been telling me that there’s going to be less time with the typewriter this summer and she’s going to spend more time riding me…..Oh, that nasty word sweat came out of her mouth, too. I think it was a threat.

I have been trained to trot on the horse trotter…..MO always calls it a horse walker, but I have to trot….And the darn thing made me S-W-E-A-T. She says it’s for cooling horses off…..it makes me hot…I don’t know what the deal is….but I don’t like it….I have been a star student. MO spent quite a bit of time training me, she would walk with me when the thing was on, she would leave me tied to it for hours on end(stopped), she taught me to lead really good. Then I accidentally discovered the darn thing wouldn’t go unless I did. Whoooooo….I was so proud of myself…..I have never seen MO move so fast as she did when I stopped that thing.

Saturday, the three of us, ME, MO, and that darn dog, Noley, went to the local HS Rodeo. We parked in a back corner of the fairgrounds out of the way and MO proceeded to “season” me. I thought she was planning to sprinkle spices on me and eat me. But “seasoning” to MO means that I have to go places in the horse trailer, stand around all day, and get ridden, too. It was only about 40 degrees and I did some of my very best Hi Yo Silvers much to MO’s disgruntlement.

I tell you those HS Rodeoers are a lively bunch. They are used to galloping circles on a postage stamp. We were at the rodeo grounds from 9 am to about 4 pm. MO got so tired she had to take ME home. I guess both Noley and her were in bed for the night at 5:30 pm. I laid down on the ground as soon as they left the barn for the day. (MOH spilled the beans on me…..)

I’ve missed visiting with everyone….I will have more stories to tell soon.
