(did that make sense? haha)<br /><br />Man..I remember when the horses got loose. That was so funny! To see the horses trample onto those bright green perfect lawns of those mini mansions and chomp away like they were kids in a candy store. THAT was hilarious. Trotting down the highway like they belonged there. Unphased by us chasing after them in a panic.

He went behind the cabinets and we never saw him again. <br /><br />Sweet Virginia Breeze, I don't think Pearl and Eldon had any idea what just happened. No one would imagine it from Spot. I think they thought I was just being dramatic. You know, being a Yankee and all and not really knowing about this farm stuff, lol.<br /><br />I still love Spot because, yes Gilly, he does have fabulous ears, doesn't he?<br /><br />Thanks for your comments everyone!Greener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-51252365648660470582009-09-23T19:04:23.125-04:002009-09-23T19:04:23.125-04:00Wow!!

It is interesting that Spot calmed down when you whacked him. Sounds like Becky's suggestion of a lunge whip might not be a bad idea. I'm sure glad that everything turned out, but I imagine that you had to take a break after all that excitement.Jeffhttp://turningpoints.iomaire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-34999404895608561252009-09-22T22:06:05.486-04:002009-09-22T22:06:05.486-04:00That must have been really scary.

You tell the story well, especially the part about your neighbors coming in when the major excitement had died down and you can't really go ballistic at that point. I have a really sweet stud dog that can turn into a barking lunatic when another male dog comes around one of his girls in season. He, like the donkey, turns into another being temporarily, one I can't trust to be his usual good self.Chrishttp://chrissmusings.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-78629609611019593982009-09-21T20:39:05.381-04:002009-09-21T20:39:05.381-04:00Debi Geez!

You never know who (or what) is coming to visit.<br /><br />Spot must have gotten a whiff of a mare in heat, or something. Or maybe he was just having delusions of grandeur.<br /><br />I've known of a well-mannered stallion or two who momentarily lost it.
