Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to myselfHave you ever been busy talking to yourself, mulling something over and you get interrupted? I hate it when that happens. The DOR has learned to let me have conversations with myself, she knows that I am trying to work things through. She also appreciates it when I let her talk to herself and I don't interrupt her. Usually her conversations with herself are to recapture the training methods she has learned and needs to walk herself through, just like I need to walk myself through things.
So let's practice talking to ourselves and also practice not interrupting others when they are talking to themselves.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
So Jack thinks he is "his royal blingness" and Sir Darby claims to be some sort of royalty, big whoopee doo! Good thing those two horses have never met eachother or there would be a war of egos.
Until the two of them dress up in costume, play games with Mushboy, put a big ol' smile on his face, and show up a bunch of young punks they are just playing second and third fiddle to this spotted guy. Yep those two make think they are all that and a bag of chips, but they have nothing on me.
Life is so good! Oh and Jack told me to remember to say: Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
If you are interested Sir Darby has his own blog that he posts to three times a week: Sir Darby; life among peasants

Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
I am still doing my therapy. Walk in one direction for four times, trot in one direction for four times, then turn and repeat in the opposite direction. Then I have to back up a slight incline for a few steps. The DOR has been having me do my therapy during the week in the pasture before I get my treats. I have not been nice about it this week at all. It is hard and I have to wait for my treats. The past two days I have been bucking a bit...I blame Shandi Doll for that.
Shandi goes running by like a race horse, bounces like Tigger, and the tags me on the butt with her nose. How am I supposed to concentrate with such a distraction. She also comes over and follows me around my circle with her little nose buried in my tail. When I stop she wanders over to the DOR for scritches. Shandi and her bouncy cuteness is making me look bad. Then to top things off she decided to show off by going backwards while bucking at the same time, the DOR just stood there amazed...what about my five steps backwards up an incline?
The DOR is going to work on finding a way to make my therapy more like a game than the same boring thing everyday. I would be happy just to go to the arena and work, that way the little twerp can't be pesty while I am concentrating.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
The DOR and I practicing the appy mind meld...take that Mr. Spock.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!
