I really miss her, but Gizmo still thrives as the smallest member of our little farm menagerie. Sadly, in September I lost Giggles at ten months old. In January 2014 I got Giggles, my guinea pig (or cavey), and Andee decided Giggles needed a playmate, so in June she got Gizmo with her own money. Both she and Iggy are members of the family now. It took us several months to find just the right pony and we’re very happy with our blessing pony. Don’t you think so? 🙂 She belongs to all five grandgirls, but mostly to Andee who cares for her. He needs a companion in his old age and adores Apple.
Apple has become a best friend to my 22 year old quarter horse, Sonny. Nor did I share in November 2013 when Apple the blessing pony came to live with us–for the same reason, to delight the grandgirls. The ‘real’ dogs don’t like him inside, though he’s never had any ‘accidents’. Of course, we show him the way back out and close the door at those times. Maybe it’s the dog kennel he lives in? Whatever it is, he takes every opportunity to invite himself inside when the doggie door is left unrestricted and he’s not in his pen. Igor, or Iggy as we call him, thinks he’s more dog than goat. I didn’t share the story of July 2013 when Igor the pygmy goat came to our little farm (and the attack rooster left!) to the delight of our granddaughter, Andee, who lives with us.
