It's the lazy days of summer. And I've been really, really lazy. Hardly doing anything. And maybe I've gained just a teensy bit of weight.

I hear what people are saying – my farrier mentioned it, my human has taken Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies out of my life, and tonight, the cruelest cut of all. My chiropractor asked if I was pregnant! Do I really look that big???? When did I become a chubby middle-aged mare? Don't answer that!

I found something really cool! I've been looking up my family tree at All Breed Pedigree.com. I found my mom and dad and grandma and grandpa and my great grandma and grandpa and lots more. There were even pictures. And guess what – I kind of look like Sonny Dee Bar. He's my great, great grandpa.

This video had Story and I a little misty eyed. Not saying we were crying, but it is very moving. Christian the Lion

I'm so embarassed! My human caught me sound asleep. I don't like anyone to see me like that.  And I don't appreciate being awakened from a dream.

I was on a beach with Bravo and we were running in the surf. The waves were breaking up over our hocks, we were loping in sync, and Bravo would reach over and nibble on my withers every now and then. It was so romantic!

Then we stopped and Bravo had just started to say, "There's something I've been wanting to ask you, Pippi....Pippi, Pippi? Are you alive?" and I opened my eyes and there was Human peering at me through the bars of my stall, all worried because she hadn't ever seen me lying flat out on the ground before.

What a rude awakening! I had to jump up to assure the worrywart that I was just fine and then I had to carry her around the arena while she pretended that we were doing a reining pattern. But all I wanted to do was go back to the dream and find out what Bravo wanted to ask me. I guess I'll never know.

We haven't been able to break into the barn again. Darn humans close the door so Story can't even get close to the gate to lean on it with her ample weight. 

Speaking of ample weight, Story e-mailed me about the break-in and said she thinks her new girth might be fitting differently:

"Yes, it was great fun to eat all that forbidden grain, but my new girth seems a bit snug!"

I found something that could help you with that, Story. Just need a credit card number from your human and we can order this online and get you started on a new life. Cats on a treadmill.

Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Sticky. Yuck. Sweaty. Yuck.

Tried to keep cool today in my stall by looking at this Flying in Mountains. All the horses came to my stall to watch. Taz kept trying to crash into the mountains. And Boomer was scared – said he doesn't like to fly. I thought it was pretty cool. Except it was hot, hot, hot in my stall. Sticky. Yuck.
