goose eggs

So as you know, there is a big dog that comes back here with the lady when she brings us nice hay on the little green truck thing.  The big dog is usually tied to the little green truck thing and he trots along next to it when it moves and when it stops, sometimes he barks at us.  But two days ago, the big dog was loose.  He was running wild like a maniac.  He  swoops under the fences and barks at the horses, he dives into the streams and sticks his head in the holes where the brown fuzzy animals live.  He goes tearing across the field like he has a big black cow running behind him, and then just before the woods, he stops and comes tearing back.  The lady yells at him and says "Let's go!"  and mostly he follows when he gets around to it.  The short white dog sits in the little green truck thing and tries to pretend the big dog isn't there.  The lady says the big dog has to grow up and learn to be a farm dog. He is doing a lot of learning at a fast speed, us ponies are tired just watching him zoom by.   Today, the lady was checking the fence by the pond and the short white dog came to help her and next thing she knew, there was a big honking bird running right at the little dog and making a racket.  The big dog came charging in for the rescue and chased the big bird clear across the pasture until it flew away.   Then later, the big dog was sticking his head in holes by the pond and the lady came to check on him and he was looking really proud of himself.  He came over to the lady and gave her a hard white ball that he found with a bunch of other balls along the shore of the pond.  There were two big honking floating birds that seemed to be pretty mad about that.  So the lady put him in a stall and she put the ball back with the other balls.   Then she got the hose and made the big dog really wet because he had been rolling in the stall and smelled a whole lot like a pony.  I think that big dog is going to smell like that for a long time if he is going to be a farm dog.
