Silly Caleesto is a wimp. Mummy and grandpa today 16th January 2003, brought a kiddies play pool into our paddock and shoved it in the water trough to try and find the hole in it and silly Caleesto got really really scared and ran all around. I was brave and walked over to watch, though I kept my distance not wanting to get in mummies way. It wasnt scary at all, silly Caleesto.
Mummy keeps calling me a crazy man, not my fault that I keep getting stuck in the tree trying to reach the yummy hay at the back. It tastes much nicer than the hay I can reach. Mummy came out this morning 17th January 2003 and I was stuck stuck stuck, I get my front legs over the tree then the orange electric tape stops me getting in then I cant back out cus the orange tape is in the was so I wait for mummy, but I eat the hay while waiting. I am not going to starve. I spent most of last night in there like that and Left a huge big pile of poopies for mum to pick up hee hee. Mummy got me out calling me a crazy man there half an hour later or so I got stuck there again. Waaa now mummy has put a board across saying I can eat from the front properly like Caleesto does. But no fair I like being a crazy man!!!!!
Hey Today the 29th January 2003 mummy and me had another ride and I went across the road into the reserve. It was fun and I trotted up and then trotted back really fast and I wanted to gallop across the road and up the drive but mum said no there aer cars coming and once they had whooshed by she walked me onto the road, but I didn’t walk onto the road I jumped the gutter onto the road and impatiently walked across the road and then up the drive whoosh we went at a little gallop.
Again today 29th January 2003 I has actually rained lots today and me and Caleesto are feeling frisky so we have for the past 5 to 10 minutes been whooshing around like mad critters bucking and rearing and chasing each other. We love days like this when it hardly rains.
I was sooooooooo cheeky last night 19th February 2003. Mummy came out and opened the gate and took our hay nets into the shed. Caleesto followed mummy for the hay but I noticed mummy had only pushed the gate closed and I wanted to go on an adventure so I snuck out and out the other gate into the laneway. I ran over to the house looking for yummy grass to eat but there was none. Mummy came after me and hee, hee she was only in a nightie, t-shirt and thongs. I saw her coming and took off down the laneway at a trot first then a gallop and my grandpa ran the opposite way to cut me off before I could come up along the other side of the laneway and escape out the front gate because mummy didn’t know if the gate was open or not. The gate was closed mummy was thankful but I halted at Splash and we had a lovely grooming session. Mummy came over to me and watched as I groomed Splash for a while before taking a hold of my mane and leading me back to the paddock where Caleesto was still eating the hay mummy left, not even worried I had run away grrrrrrrrrr. I tried to take off on mummy once more when she was leading me but mummy just growled at me to behave and then led me to the paddock where I went over and ate the hay mummy had given us, it was yummy in my tummy but I had fun running away.
Mummy came out to let us out this morning the 10th March 2003 and when she watched me walking away, I was walking like I was about to collapse, I was walking from my shoulder and not bending my knee. Mummy caught me and checked me and when she touched my knee I flinched, ouchie mummy that hurt. I pulled away and mummy saw that my knee was as swollen as anything. Mummy thought straight away that I had a broken knee but then realised that I wouldn’t be walking if I had, she thought maybe a dislocated knee. She called the emergency vet out (this was a public holiday) and he told mummy that it wouldn’t be dislocated as it’s almost impossible to dislocate a knee, if anything a fracture or bone chip. The vet arrived and checked my knee, I had a cut on it and he bend my kneed and pushed and prodded and said it would be a kick and that it wasn’t as bad as it looked. I was turned into a pincushion, waaaaaaaaaaa. I hate needles. My knee got better after a couple of days and I was all-better. But sadle my mummies Doggie Benny was put down today, he was very sick and couldn’t be saved. Benny was the best dog in the world!!!!!
Mummy got the vet out to Caleesto today the 2nd May 2003 cus she had a sore tummy and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the vet also oil drenched me for sand cus I have had bad diarohea the past week or so so she decided to do me at the same time. I hate the oil tube and the vet put a twitch on me and then tried to put the tube down my nose. Hee hee I know a few tricks and I can block it so that he cant get the tude fully where he wants it to go, hee hee and he took awhile but waaaaaa he finally got the better of me and i had to have the ickly oil, but my insides feel lots better now.
I got such a big fright today the 16th May 2003. Mummy was lunging me with Carly on my bac (Golly I hate kids, and I hate lunging even more) when my grandpa was cleaning up some branches around the place. I was keeping a watch on him cus he made a scary noise and my mummy yelled at him and said that I was in a spooky mood, put my silly grandpa assumed that cus I was so quiet I wouldnt do anything. He threw a big branch ont he rubbish pile to be burnt and it made a really loud noise that scared the hell outta me. I bucked and took off on the end of the lunge rope shaking. Carly started screaming and crying on my back and I was really scared. Mummy pulled me to a stop then came over and cuddled me before yelling angrily at my grandpa for scaring me. Mummy went to lunge me again but I was scared and tried to take off so Carly didn't want to ride me anymore that day. Mummy hopped on me and I was instantly back to my old lazy self and we had a lil hoon around before mummy packed me up.
I was a cheeky fella today 15th June 2003. Mummy put me and Caleesto int he landeway, but was onmly giving us half the laneway and orange taped off the other half. Well I wanted to go round the whole laneway so after we had eaten most of the part we were in I went over to the orange taped off part and squeezed through it breaking most of the strands and yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm grass, silly caleesto wouldnt follow even though there was only one ankle high strand left, she wouldnt cross over it she waited til mummy came and pulled that away and then she hurried over to me to eat all the lush grass.
I had so much fun yesterday 20th September 2003. My mummy rode the brat while the brat Carly (mummy's niece) rode me and my grandpa led me and we all went out on the roads and back along the reserve with a nice creek that runs through it. It was so much fun and we plodded the whole way round and I was such a good boy. Because I was so good mum put me out in the long long green green knee high grass for the day. She has put me out there again today but said only until lunch time cus I founder easily and mummy doesnt want me to get sore feet. I hear we are going out again next weekend, groovyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
Golly I so love and hate Spring. It is the Spring of 2003 and we have grass coming out of our ears, one paddock with grass up to our knees, one that is growing like no tomorrow after we ate it rigth down over winter and another 2 that are constantly mowed cus there is more grass than we can eat. But waaaaaaaaaaa such yummy grass and mummy locks me up most of the time just cus I have foundered a few times, well ok I admit I have foundered every year for the past golly 20 odd years of my life, so that doesnt mean I will founder this year mummy. Ok I have already had a touch of laminitis, but mummy all the yummy grass Caleesto can't eat it all by herself, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Mummy is locking me up with painkillers, bute in my tucker cus I am foundering. Waaaaaaa mummy, I tell you all I really really really hate spring. For the first week of this November 2003 mummy has had me locked up so much because I dont want to walk because my feet hurt, but mummy I know all the grass will make me feel better!!!
Poor mummy when she came out last night 7th December 2003. She found Caleesto and I had escaped our paddock and we were happily eating in the garden where it had all been mowed. Mummy got really worried cus we arent allowed to eat moved grass because it can give us colic. She quickly put us away and then kept an eye one us. I made mummy worried when she later on gave us our hay and I didnt really wanna eat it. Mummy thought golly for me not to eat there must be something wrong. I was taking little mouthfuls I just didnt feel like much then, after mummy went I started pigging out and when mummy came and checked me again I was eating like there was no tomorrow. And I was ok, and still am ok.
My mummy thinks I am such a goose. We have so much fun we get the front paddock of a night with long knee high grass which is like hay now so mummy figured let us eat it of a night or she will just have to cut it and of a day we go in knee high lush green grass. Today 15th December 2003 mummy put us out the back paddock and when she looked at us out the kitchen window she saw me trying to drink the water outta the pool over the fence. Hee hee mummy I wasnt really going to drink out of it. I was actually thinking I might dive in and go for a swim. Hee hee hee.
HAPPY NEY YEAR ALL
Today 4th January 2004 Caleesto was all attached to some weird looking thing pulling tyres. I was so worried about her then I followed along behind just to make sure she was ok. It was all really strange, poor Caleesto I hope she enjoyed it, cus I certainly enjoyed following along behind. I kept sniffing the tyre thing she was pulling just to make sure it wasnt about to pounce on her.
I have been so cheeky the past weef the last week of January 2004. When mummy has been putting us out in the back paddock, I always look into their backyard and when mummy isn't looking I have been climbing the fence and sneaking in there with all the yummy grass. Its so yummy but yesterday, 2nd February 2004, I tried to sneak in but got stuck half way so I had to wait until my grandpa saw me standing there half over the fence and help me out. Hee Hee I love doing sneeky things.
Its also been ages since I talked about anything, so long I cant remember any of the adventures I have had, I am still sneaking through fences when ever I feel like it hee hee, its something I am always going to do. I will tell you the very next time I do something exciting.
Golly i have been super busy too, more busy than Caleesto but at the moment I am very very very sad because Caleesto has gone away and I dont know if she is going to come back or not and I call and call for her but she hasnt come back yet. Anyhow its the 22nd January 2006 and its been ages again but lots has happened I was tested for Cushings Disease and the results came back borderline negative so I havent got it but i guess theres a chance i will in the future, I really hope not cus I dont wanna look like a woolly mammoth in the middle of summer and i dont want to have medication the rest of my life. Cushings is basically a tumour of the thyroid gland in the brain it isnt cancer or anything it just sorta a large gland that pushes on the brain but I havents quite got it though I do have some of the symptoms. I have also been giving my nieces lots of pony rides too, Carly rides me now and I have fun fun fun.
