Flumps, Bumps and Minis

Hey Roller, look FH has flumped on the ground.... there she was providing room service and then it seems that she just well ermmm flumped right down.

Who can blame her?  When the sun shines and you're a little on the tired side what could be better?

The sky is blue, the sun is shining.... I think there might just be one thing that could make the flumpy one even happier....

Oh yes, you guessed it friends, a little therapy from us minis might be just the thing we think.

But FH if you're gonna flump about in our paddock you need to pay the price of lazing around.... there is a charge you know!

Yep you guessed it - cuddles!  

Anyway what's with all this flumping around?  Are you tired?  Have you been busy carrying a heavy load around?  Oh yeah!  I forgot you have bump on board who is getting rather heavy, hmmm not surprised you need to flump.  I've heard that the bump's affectionate nickname is the Space Invader.... hehe, we think that's quite befitting as it is definitely making it's presence known!

Hey Roller come check it out, FH is like a flumpy whale beached at the top of a sunny paddock, whadya reckon?

Snuffle, Snuffle, Space Invader are you in there?  I'm ready for that ride when you want it... only another couple of months to go and then I can check out your ears and hooves, I'm hoping for a pony style foal please!

Ok folks time for some snoozing on my behalf too, if I just angle my butt around this way..... oh yes FH can flump while I get my botty scratched.  Don't worry friends, I am VERY careful of FH and her cargo but probably best not to try this at home!

Eventually the flump and her bump gathered the strength to get upright, no rush there though :-) 

Us Muleteers are happy to report that the flump and her Space Invader bump are doing very well, we're getting very excited, we've all placed bets on what size ears and hooves the Human Foal will have.... only 9 weeks to go now!!

We're Having A Foal!!

Finally the secret is out!  Guess what everyone?  We're having a foal!  Well to be precise FH is growing us our very own human foal, our very own partner in crime, our very own mini mule rider!

FH told me to stop being rude and telling everyone she'd eaten too many chocolates at Christmas ;-) Hehehe I've known for quite a long time!  I've been checking out my future mini mule rider for quite some time and making sure it recognises my dulcet tones..... I have to say I'm hoping that it comes out with proper sized ears and mini mule sized hooves, FH is hopeful too?

It's never too early for me to try and bond with Human Foal (I shall call it HF for short).... I wonder if it will be of the filly or colt variety?  And will it love me?  Of course it will, FH says it won't be able to help it :-)  Just to make sure I have been giving it kisses and snuffles....

The only problem is that some people keep trying to edge in on my territory.... first there's the pesky cat! She thinks it's her foal!

She seems to think the bump is quite a good cuddle shelf and something to play kitty cat games with!

And then as for Roller well he's trying to get in on the act too!  Something about him being the first mount for the Human Foal, well maybe I'll let him train it first and then it'll be ready for some mini mule moves extraordinaire!

FH says we have to share the new HF with the others but we know that secretly this foal is just for us minis, finally a human that will be smaller than us!  We promise to look after it and play nicely and teach it everything we know!  It's due to arrive in early May, great time of year for a ride..... what do you mean it'll be a while til it's ready FH??? We'll be careful, honest!

We're off to tidy up the stable nursery and look at babygros with ponies on..... best make sure they're brown.... the mud doesn't show that way ;-)
