“As One Horse to Another…”
“Shadow – I just want you to know – that I really appreciate your being right…by my side!” “You know that when – My Mother , Valentine died – I was really afraid to be without her and was wondering if there would be – – anybody – to really take a liking to me – as I am kinda – on the “bossy” side – and most of the animals here do not like ‘others’ and also – those who are – – younger “bossy” animals?” “What I am trying to say – is that – you seem to tag-a-long with me – all the time – and you don’t’ seem to mind me giving out with the orders?”
“Digger – I like it that you like me – and, your giving me orders – is just “OKAY” – – because when our owner Darlene came to the ranch where I was – – I could hear her tell the owner – that – she needed a very young horse to grow up with her little baby “Digger” – who just lost his “MOTHER” – and she was wanting someone – who would act almost like a sister to her little “DIGGER!” “So, – If you do not mind me following you around and being at your side – almost – all the time – ‘I’m just tickled PINK’ – to be your very best FRIEND!”
“Shadow – how about us meandering over and see what is in the feed basket for tonight?’ Looks like a few of the other horses are heading over – so we may as well be in line – and see who gets extra – special treatment tonight???” “I just love when – Lee our owner – gets back from being on the road as he always likes to play with each of us – and that’s something that they did not do at the other ranch – where I was – I just love people – the ones that LOVE me back!”
