Life in Our Foothills August

An Unexpected Summer Surprise By Pebbles As summertime rolls into the foothills, we all anticipate the wave of heat and lazy shade-seeking afternoons. I have come to expect total pampering from my foster mom, Lee Major. Please turn on all my fans and place the do not disturb sign on my stall door during these sultry days so I can nap in peace! I just love to stretch out in my fresh pine shavings for some nice shut-eye. The donkeys across the aisleway from me share a stall so I can have my own digs. Lily and Claree faithfully can keep watch over the barn by day, while I get my beauty sleep. My ears are always pricked for some good local gossip. I have just gotten word that our HERD farrier Jessica Orr is coming to trim my hooves. It of course takes a few of my favorite cookies dispersed for each foot to ensure I will endure this pedicure procedure calmly. I have come to expect this bribe with glee. Today she has some big news to share with us. There may be a baby coming!
