Earlier this week we got a nice break in the late fall
weather. The temperatures were in the
60s and the sun was shining bright. I
asked Olive if she would like to take a walk to see if the horses were around. She said yes, of course. So off we went.
When we got down to where the horses hang out,
they were nowhere in sight. I told a
disappointed Olive that maybe they were eating their lunch or something and we
continued on to the turtle pond. I was
surprised to hear creatures plopping into the water but I couldn’t tell if they
were turtles or frogs. That prompted me
to make a mental note to find out what happens to turtles and frogs around here
when the cold weather hits. I don’t
think I’ve ever known. Olive and I stood
around and admired the still water and the bright sunshine for a while and then
turned around to head back home. It does
get dark around here pretty early these days.
As we walked pass the horse field once again, I noticed
that one of them noticed us and began to run down the hill to say hi. Of course, if one comes to say hi, the others
follow along pretty quickly being pretty nosy and curious beings. We hung around for a little while and while I
patted some equine noses, Olive scraped around in the dirt to let them know
that that side of the fence was theirs and this side of the fence belonged to
pugs and their adoring public.
Then we said good-by and they watched us walk away as we
headed for home.
Until next time...
