Ooh, that reminds me of this picture I put together about ten years ago. I’m a math teacher, you see… [![](https://i.imgur.com/Q3Qc3lL.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/Q3Qc3lL.png) That’s our Rocky, who left us almost three years ago. He always had a problem with his weight. He was the most easygoing cat I’ve ever known. I still miss him dreadfully. ---

Beautiful horse! I feel bad for our horses when we ride them through our neighbor’s apple orchards. ---

Horsie pictures? I got one! This is Perry. He came named by the rescue group but just doesn’t seem like a Perry to me, so I usually call him Perr-Bear, or Po (short for pony), or Ol’ Shovel-head.

Perry is an odd name for a horse. I have a friend named Perry and he is an odd person. Next time I run into him I hope I remember to call him Ol’ Shovelhead. ---

You got that right! That picture was taken last week just home from the vet, completely aghast and embarrassed he was. A week later he is resigned to it. And the leg wound is healing, though it’s still raw hamburger it doesn’t slow him down. ---
