It was a perfect spring day here in Central
Massachusetts yesterday. Temperatures
were hovering around 70 degrees and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Seemed like just the day to take Olive to
visit the horses.
When we got down to the pasture, the horses were
grazing up on a hill pretty far away from us.
But we could tell that a couple of them knew we were there. Now, I have it on good authority that horses
tend to be nosey parkers so I expected them to come and greet us. But yesterday, these particular horses were
acting like we weren’t worth the time of day to them. So we continued on to the turtle pond to see
if the turtles were out sunbathing. Sure
enough, there they were.
We hung around to admire the turtles for a while
and then turned to go back past the horses.
The minute one spied us, they all came galloping down the hill.
They probably wanted to see if we had anything
for them to eat. But I don’t feed these
horses because there has been a sign out asking us not to. Still, I am more than happy to rub their
noses. They seem to like that. We had a nice conversation with the
horses. Olive kicked some dirt on them
to show them who is boss in this neigh...borhood. They paid no
attention to her. Then we said good bye
and continued on home where a tired little pug could get some rest.
Here’s a fact about pugs that you may not be
aware of. A pug's tail only curls up tight
when she is awake and alert. If she gets tired out or is sleeping, her tail relaxes.
Or maybe, in Olive's case, she just liked the way the horses' tails looked.

That is too cute (Olive's tail!). Great post and pictures. Sounds like it was a beautiful day.
Seems you two had a great jaunt...LOL Olive's tail. Horses can be funny...as in everybody crams the fence or nobody bothers. Treat are always good though but I understand their people not wanting them to be fed as you never know. Anyway...beautiful and enjoyable images!
I'm so jealous of your weather Barb -- it's been snowing here off and on all day. Not sticking though, so it's okay. :)

from the looks of olive's tail, she was sleeping ;)))

What a fun day for both you and Olive. She's a sweetie, by the way, but you know that, of course. :) I love the way the horses came to see you, and turtles are just plain cool!
I love your Olive tales/tails!!
