geese

So maybe the fur coats are NOT such a good idea in this sun. Wow, it is hot now! But the good news is that it rained a whole bunch last night so that means lots of nice green grass should be coming up soon. We still get hay in our boxes, but it is almost as much work to get that hay out as it is to go look for new grass, so we end up leaving it in there most of the day. The lady takes some of the ponies over to the white hill and gives them carrots, but she hasn't taken me over there forever. She was out setting up the fence tape so that my dad Bob and Aunt Taca and the new filly could go out into that field and find more grass, and all us ponies were sure that she would let us out into our field by the pond with the nice grass. We all ran down to the gate by the pond and watched her and waited. But she didn't let us out there. She didn't do anything about our fence. The only ones out there now are the two stupid geese. The one goose just sits all quiet with its head down and the other goose sits on the far bank and watches for intruders. If anyone shows up the watcher goose flies into the water and makes a racket and tries to scare away whoever shows up. It really hates when the lady drives by in the little green truck. One time it jumped up on the bank and flapped at the green truck, but the truck made a loud noise back at it and scared the goose so it went back in the water and sulked for a while. But it doesn't chase the lady when she is with any of the dogs. Even the little timid dog. When the goose sees the dog, it just puts its head down and pretends it isn't there. Silly goose.
