He's a Dork








This is how I haul water out to the shack.

It's a long way, but I didn't take a picture to show you.

I fill the bucket in the basement,
haul it upstairs and outside.

I have to wade through snowdrifts,
wrangle the bucket through the fence,
and then my animals get water.


In these (-18) freezing days,
I have to do this quite often.


Bucket isn't quite full 'cause then it's less ice I have to break in a couple hours.






And this is what I usually find in the morning.
A solid block of poopsicles.
Why he does this I don't know.

His stall is quite large, and this is in the corner.

Still, he finds a way.











And this is what he does behind my back.....








These are the pictures I usually get of him.

I have hundreds of these.


I back up,
he follows.

I walk away, turn around, and there he is.





This is a camera lens fogged up by a curious horses giant nostrils.




These giant nostrils.











This is my drive-way.


It's interesting getting in and out.

Notice the rub marks in the middle from the undercarriage of the vehicle?







And one of my many beautiful trees.









And by then I was a human-cicle,

so I went in.

  1. It is interesting getting in and out of your driveway. One good thing is, it's not a very busy road, so you don't have to worry so much about being hit as you exit it at 60 kph, because you have to, otherwise you are stuck. :P

    What a silly horsie. The water dish is not for pooping in.

  2. Poopsicles are hilarious!! Although, I suppose not so much when you have to thaw them out every day. ;)

    I went out for pics today, too. I think I might had made it to 5 min... and then I was almost frozen solid.

  3. Horses learn from their owners...although you've never pooped in your tea. :/

  6. Kara picked up on Pax's bad habit. At least, that's what I'm going with tonight.

    I have to clean poopcicles out of her water bucket too. I don't know who started it.

  7. Why on earth would Pax AIM for the water bucket????????????????????????? I don't understand.

    Dumb horsie.

    But he's good for laughs. So he is.

  8. He's always done it.

    And Sarah, in the 2 years I have lived here I've had to stop for another vehicle on my road ONCE. And I barely did, 'cause I'm so used to just barreling out. It was the dead stock truck. Now I make sure I look first.

  9. As a fellow Dork, I applaud Pax.

    Stick that tongue out, Baby!
