Today I got to go and see
some of my and My Vickie's
friends up in the little town
of Heber Utah.
 I have missed them so much
so it was great fun to go and spend the
day with them.  I was able to
run free on the ranch the whole day
except when they went to see
the baby foals.  Now I am not afraid of
horses at all, but they were afraid I might
make the babies nervous.
I didnt' mind.  I spent the time
with Erianne. 
This baby is about three weeks
old and My Vickie fell in love.
I thought we were going to have
to bring her home with us.
A new baby is expected soon
and we are hoping to be up there
shortly after.  The momma horse
was incredibly loving and sweet.
My Vickie really misses having horses
but we turned the pasture
into a play area for the pups that
come and stay with us so
horses are a thing of the past.
The family live at the base of
one of our favorite mountain ranges
That is Timpanogos in the back ground
boy wouldn't you love to wake up
to that view every morning.
Here I am getting to know momma horse.
She sniffs butts just like us dogs do
when we greet.  IT made me a little bit
nervous though.  I mean, look at her
if she decided to give me a love nip
she could break me in half.
 
My Vickie got bit in the butt once by a
horse.  It wasn't a pretty sight.
WE got on a four wheeler
machine and road around the ranch.
Did you know, if My Vickie
should die, I get to come and live
here.  Yep, I could be a ranch dog
how cool would that be.
(But that isn't going to happen)
Right?
Goose and I have been modeling
a new kind of vest that is going
to be a new sensation.  It is made especially
for dogs to help with muscle and health
issues and a lot of other things.
I am not completely sure what
it all does, but My Vickie is going
to find more out about it
and let you all know.
So it has been a long couple
of days so I am off to sleep
Tomorrow I get to go visit my
friend Ryan who is in the
hospital.  I'll let him know
how all of you are wishing him
well.  Have a happy
and beautiful Sunday my friends
 
Bert

  2. OH my GOSH Bert!!!! If you didn't live so far away, I'd be asking if I could come visit you for a while - what a day you had of it!!! I LOVE horses and ranches (well, we call them farms in Ireland and Australia but you know what I mean) and I would love to meet all those other four legged ones you met!!! And the view - well, I'm a dog, I don't get too excited about views (I'm too busy sniffing) but She was amazed by it!!! So glad you had a great day and say Hi to Ryan from us Down Under when you visit him tomorrow. We hope he is feeling a bit better.

  17. Wow, Bert! You've been one busy guy. Beautiful horsey, but you is more beautiful! :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. YES! I would love to wake up to that view and go to sleep with it too. I met some horsies on my Chrissie holiday, Bert! It was my first time. They were so big! They didn't want to play with me though, stuck ups.

    The Typist says to tell Your Vickie she's very pleased to finally meet another human being who's been bitten by a horse. She got bitten when she was 15 on the breast! Hahaha! She's been nervous of horses ever since.

Looks like you had a fantastic time! And yes, that view of Timpanogos is stunning! We definitely live in one beautiful part of the country! Glad we found your new spot - hopefully Blogger won't put your comments in our spam folder from now out (we never quite got that...)!

  29. That's an interesting vest - can't wait to hear more about it!

    Gosh - that ranch sure looks fun and that baby horsie - adorable! Also, glad that momma horse did not do any damage to your rear area. Although it's a funny story to hear, it probably isn't too pleasant to experience.

  36. Don't tell anyone... especially since we live in Horse Country - Kentucky... but our mom isn't very fond of horses... they are just too big and powerful for her.

    But you are mighty brave.. and the baby looks adorable.. :)

  38. Hi Bert!

    Oh my gosh, I just found your new site AND I was looking through my spam folder and found a bunch of comments from you there. Not sure why they went to spam. I am so sorry I haven't been visiting lately. Your new site looks great!

    Your pal, Pip

  39. We are definitely wishing Ryan well. Please send our good wishes.

    What a day at the ranch! No, Bert, that is not going to happen - but you shouldn't sound so eager :) The ranch looks glorious, with the mountains, the foals, and the mother horses. Wow!
