Still, soft moments

Hi everyone! Seems like things have been a bit off kilter around here lately. We all could use some still, soft moments to get centered once more. The DOR and I managed a few moments together. We spent time just enjoying the quiet and peace that we find just standing together...
Sometimes I try to convince her to try the appy mind meld, just to see if we can share our minds. Of course for it to truly work both parties need to have fully functioning minds, I won't comment on which one of us has been lacking the past few times I have attempted this feat. Well one day it will work, I just know it will.
I have been terribly busy with my niece, I was not prepared to be a single parent. I did manage to make sure that she walked behind me when we went to get treats last night. Boy it was hard to teach her that she is to follow me as a sign of respect for my leadership role. That doesn't mean if there is a scary bag I am not going to shove her out in front to make sure it won't eat me. I am trying to figure out if girl horses are supposed to behave differently from boy horses. Do I have to fluff her mane and tail? What about polishing her hooves? Gosh I think I need a back-up mare, or at least one to give me advice.
I am planning on spending today teaching Shandi how to soak up some rays and then stand in the shade to cool off and nap.
Rumor has it that the dentist will be out this weekend to work on Coelho's teeth. Maybe he will pull all his front teeth and then he can't bite me bask if I was to chomp on him when I pass him in the arena.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR
