Winter 2009!

Happy New Year, Everybody!  Well, I’ve gotten Turbo out a bit more over the past week. I usually take him to the field across the street. There is a busy road next to the field that has all sorts of cars and trucks going by that I am very careful not to get too close to, but I like that he’s getting used to big objects zooming by.  Naturally, he is very furry, but his coat has sort of smoothed out, so he looks really good. When I lunged (where he trots or lopes around me in a circle while I hold the line that is clipped to his halter) him in the field a couple of days ago, I snapped a picture with my camera phone. It’s not the best picture because I was moving, and after all, it’s only a phone, not a real camera. I’m trying to find a way to get the photo up here, I may have to put a link.

I am not a person that gives their pets Christmas presents, but I DID give Turbo a little extra grain and a chopped up carrot in celebration of Christ’s birth. Later I gave him part of a clementine, which he first refused, but once he found out how delicious they are (thanks to me sneaking one into his food), he was eager for more.  I’ve been cleaning his pen twice a day, in part because I want to go to my grandmother’s farm soon, and also because I may have gotten a little lecture…….

I still have not had the harness fixed, I think that will happen next week. I’m also going to look into having a new one made.
