Our new friend…

Remember our new friend John Robert?? He came to visit us again at the market this weekend and wanted so badly to be with Chevy. He was so excited to hold onto him.  He was all smiles, but once I went to take his picture he got all kinds of shy!!! awwww….

Puppy Camp

Mavericks’ best friends Alex (left) and Sam (right) came to stay with us for a little over a week. The three of them had a ball playing all week. Mav gets SOOOO excited whenever you say their names!!!  Here are the three muskateers posing so nicely!

A Snail’s Pace

Meet Pete. He lives in MA. He’s got such a pretty condo I thought I show him today. We don’t have snails this pretty in NJ!!!

Teddy Bear

I went to the feed store last night and made a new friend. Meet “Teddy Bear”. He’s a puppy but he’s just about his full size/weight already!! He fits in the palm of my hand. Those ears just crack me up!! He’s such a sweetie!!

BIG bee!!!

Lately there have been several of these guys hanging around the Farmer’s Market. Not sure what kind of bee this is exactly but I’m sure I don’t feel like getting stung by him. They love the syrup coming out of the tree so I hope that’s enough to keep them preoccupied!!

Lover Boy

We made a new friend at the Farmer’s Market this weekend. This is John Robert. He’s the youngest son (4 years old) of one of our vendors and we’ve been hearing about him for years and never met him. Saturday was his very first visit ever to the farmer’s market. He took a liking to us and starting bringing us a bunch of presents. Here he is giving Jen flowers. Awwww!!!

Sleeping BEAUty

I was asked to work a pony party with a friend this weekend, and I was in charge of walking Beau. He’s 34 (VERY OLD) so he kept stopping to take a little nap. Here he is resting his chin on the back of my neck fast ASLEEP!!!!! Poor old guy!!!

Vet visit

(Apologies for the quality of today’s picture, but it’s awfully hard to get a picture while both subjects are moving and you are trying to hold a pony as still as possible.) The vet came yesterday as part of his annual visit to do horses’ shots and float (file) some teeth. Horses teeth keep growing and get so sharp that they can’t eat if they go unkept. So here’s Chevy getting his teeth filed to keep them from getting to long and sharp. Not his favorite thing as you can imagine. 🙁

New Friends…

My nieces and nephews came for a visit last night and wanted to meet all the new horses in the barn since their last visit. Here’s Brooke meeting Delilah. The kids just loved her!!!
