Greetings Muleteers! I bring you pony tails from the other side of the fence, the 'wrong' side of the fence, the illicit side full of greenness..... oops! The humans are beside themselves as they can't seem to understand how I keep sneaking through the fence that buzzes... I'm not going to tell them, it's my great secret! While the two long ears stay on the side of the fence with meagre grass and lots of straw I have decided to embrace independence and take myself to the greener grass on the other side of the fence. FH keeps going on about my ballooning belly and how I'll hurt my feet (sounds like human logic...), she has even threatened the extra fencing. To me Muleteers I just thought the grass looked nice, I had a ponder and worked out how to get to where I wanted to go. I can still see and touch my long eared pals but they are too scared to join me. Little Mr and Mrs Goody Four Hooves are too scared of the consequences of doing something naughty. They stand on the other side of the fence and swish at me angrily, occasionally neighbray and then tell tales on me when the humans get home. The louder The Mini neighbrays the quicker FH comes running. I must find a way to shut him up.... hmmm.... maybe I should just let him in on the escape artist secret.... nah.....
I'm off to recover from my latest eating expedition, doesn't look like I'll be getting many more after tomorrow as the fencing queen (aka FH) is coming out to play. Oh well it was good while it lasted. I shall have to try to crack the puzzle of the next fencing extravaganza and plan my next escape route - ah such fun!
Until then remember folks the grass IS sometimes greener on the other side.... you just gotta work out how to get there.....
Happy weekend!
To find yourself, think for yourself.

Ah well done mate. Impressive. I have trick fencing sewn on my nightie to bite me because my nightie used to protect me from being tricked. I don't see my human restricting her intake. One rule for humans another for equines. Typical
ReplyDeleteThanks Zoe! I can't imagine why those humans have such terrible double standards... just so long as FH doesn't try to stitch electric tape in to my chest hair - ouch! Best behave I guess....
DeleteOh No! You are very naughty escaping like that - I hope FH manages to put a stop to your naughtiness. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI am merely making the most of the resources available ;-) I was good today and staying 'imprisoned', anything to keep the humans quiet and happy I guess. Have a lovely weekend too x
DeleteAh, my dear Roller, what a great green temptation on the forbidden side!. Tall luscious grass is irresistible and you have performed a Houdini master act!. But FH is right and too much will be bad for your health. Sometimes it is better to stay this side of the fence ... hope the savoury taste lingers for long :-)
ReplyDeleteTo make you feel a little better, what do you say you tried this:
"No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap." --Carrie Snow
Sending you sunny siestas over the weekend ♥
My dear friend Carmen, today I have taken your advice and have not strayed to the 'dark side'. I took your advice and settled for a lovely nap all snuggled up with my mini friend, you are very wise, it certainly brightened my day :-)
DeleteI shall certainly siesta lots over the weekend, rain or shine one thing is constant a pony's need to nap! Snuffles and manly whinnies for a happy weekend for you xxx
Oh Roller. . .too funny! Sometimes the lure of the green tasty grass is too much to resist!
ReplyDeleteTell FH that I discovered this group on Facebook, if she is on Facebook. It's a horse agility group!

Grass is definitely greener on the illicit side of town.... why are the nicest things often the worst for us?! Not fair!
DeleteFH says to tell you thanks for the link, she doesn't have facebook but can hijack a friend's so she's going for a look ;-)
Darling Roller, you are very clever but rather naughty! I think that FH is just trying to keep you healthy.
ReplyDeleteTalking of staying healthy - I am sorry that I have not commented on the lovely postings by you and the other Muleteers over the last couple of weeks. Derek and I have been on holiday. We came down with food poisoning at the end of our holiday and we have been ill all this week. I have been reading the lovely stories from Dragon, the Mini and Catanian but just didn't have the energy to comment. Please will you let your friends know that their postings really cheered me up?
Take care, darling little Roller, and watch what you eat - listen to FH! : - )
Love and cuddles to you all from Judy in Cambridge
My Dearest Judy, I am so sorry to hear that you and Derek have been poorly :-( this will teach me the lesson of being careful of what I eat.... maybe that extra mouthful of grass was a little too far? I can report that after my little lapse of rebelliousness I have followed the mules' example today and stuck to the healthy stuff. FH has promised me picnic walks this weekend (a great way to offset snacking calories!) if I stay on the good side of the fence.
DeleteI have told the mules that they have cheered you up whilst you were unwell, they were very pleased to assist as am I :-)
We all send you snuffles, neighbrays, whinnies, miaows and woofs to make you and Derek feel better - hope you have a better weekend xxxx
Whats your secret? I'd love to meander on over to the my Neeeighbors!
ReplyDeleteCan't tell you now, humans are watching.... will send letter with secret via the Pony Express..... snuffles to you - Roller xxx
DeleteI love donkeys and mules, and your posts always put a smile on my face. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that the gang make you smile! That's the purpose of sharing their little corner of the world, to raise a smile, have some fun and share with friends :-)
DeleteSnap, Roller! My owner has just started making noises about my expanding waistline and no doubt I'll be in 'starvation' very soon. You have my horsey sympathies. Major x
ReplyDeleteStarvation, oh no, how awful!! I have decided to limit my expeditions to one a week and just sneak in to the hay store when FH turns her back, amazing how much hay you can get in your mouth in 3 seconds, I'm aiming for a record, will let you know how I get on!
DeleteOh handsome Roller ...you musn't sneek and gorge on the grass. We are allowed supervised grass consumption for periods of time ...we must keep our lovely mini mare figures fit and not founder ourselves in gluttony. Naughty boy Roller making FM fret . Still you are devilishly hansome. ...xox from your adoring neigh~bors over the sea
ReplyDeleteWe love you Roller *blush * Honey Bee and Tink
Hey there ladies! Ok, I have taken your advice and curtailed my trips to the 'dark side', I shouldn't want my admirers to think I'd gone to grass.... no Rolly Poly jokes here please. I am longingly staring at the lush, green grass but every time the need takes me I shall think of your pretty selves and remind myself, no pain, no gain. You're my inspiration!
DeleteSending you loving snuffles, neighbrays and nudges ladies - stay gorgeous - yours forever - Roller xxx
Oops FH. Not FM we were thinking about the radio I guess ...sorry mom made us correct ourselfs ...we are sorry "FH"
ReplyDeleteHehe, no bother, we have to tell you a secret FH answers to most things.... she has a multitude of names depending on who's calling her. Trust us FM is pretty cool, maybe FM could stand for Female Muleteer :-)
