A Neighbray Chorus!

Hooray!  The humans are back!  Phew, we are all relieved.... well ok mainly me!

It seemed like mules years that they were away, how could my FH leave me for soooo very long?  My aunties that came to look after me and the others were lovely and provided room service, ample food and loving words.  I am sorry to say I was a little stand offish.  I couldn't quite bring myself to let them scratch me or reassure me, what if they had kidnapped FH and taken her away?

But it was all ok, eventually we recognised the car arrive home with some tired humans on board.  To ensure they did not forget we were here waiting I serenaded my returning humans with my finest neighbrays, Dragon accompanied with some squawks and Catanian provided backing vocals with some miaows!  Roller, well Roller was quietly waiting in the background as would be expected.

I checked over the humans to see if they still smelt the same and they were definitely not impostors but I did decide they needed to smell more like a muleteer again so I enjoyed rubbing my head vigorously on FH's arm, hint, hint I need a scratch!

At last I could sleep easy knowing my morning neighbray chorus would be met with swift service from the food bar. To celebrate I had a lovely little snooze.

Next morning to celebrate.....

Roller showed off his ever increasing fluff! He is looking more like a polar bear every day.  Soon I shall start calling him Roller Polar.

Then I had my rug off for a little while to itch and scratch and roll around.  Surely the midges must be done biting soon?

Dragon had a little dirty protest at being left without work for a week and gave FH a very strong hint about what she thought to a saddle going on that muddy back.... hmmm, maybe not?

Then it was time for us Muleteers to forget the separation anxiety of the last week and get down to the serious stuff.... yep, eating :-)!

FH is looking forward to catching up on all our friends blogs - it may take her a while!  And finally, thank you to my Aunties who kept us in the lap of mule luxury while the humans were away, sorry for my bad manners, I will try harder next time!

While The Human's Away......

 .... the Muleteers will play!

Can you believe it Muleteers?  The humans have left us to go away on holiday.... to add insult to injury they have even taken the canine members of the family with them! Well I never! Why can't we go too?

Ok so things aren't that bad, we have got some of our favourite humans coming in to provide room service (thank you!) and ensure our every need is satisfied as well as guard the house.

But really, leaving us at home, pah!

So while the humans are away we've decided to take matters in to our own hooves.... and paws....

Dragon has been getting rather hungry and bored, she would like to work some more but with no rider it's a little tricky.

So the girls put their heads together and came up with a solution.  Perhaps Catanian could ride her?  We all know she's a mini mule rider so maybe she can progress to being a maxi mule rider?!

The only problem is getting on board..... hmmmm..... no problems for these girls!  Dragon will have a little picnicking snack whilst standing in position for Catanian to leap down from the barn roof.  Yes the barn roof is very high and Catanian climbs up it by launching herself using the stable doors as steps.... getting down again is something you don't want to watch if you have a delicate constitution!

Unfortunately the plan didn't work but Dragon enjoyed the food and kitty enjoyed the challenge.

Roller has only just noticed that the humans have changed to new ones.... he is a little worried about staying fed so he has decided upon the 'all you can eat buffet' option - always gotta focus on the important things in life.  I hope his Aunties remember to keep the door closed as the stealth pony is excellent at sneaking in unnoticed, getting him out again once wedged in is well, a bit tricky!

And what about me?  I'm bereft!  I have been left home alone by FH, I shall be heartbroken until she returns and will accept only the briefest of scratches from my surrogate carers, they're very nice and keep me fed and clean but who will scratch my ears and let me sit in their lap?  I shall keep watching out for her return, when she does return I shall ignore her for a day or two to try and ensure she doesn't pull this trick again, and then I may just let her love me again ;-)

FH told me to apologise for any interruption in service, she scheduled this before leaving so won't have chance to answer your comments or check in on her favourite blogs - the joys of no internet or phone!
