A Mid Week Wagon Ride

Poor Ike and Duke have been neglected lately.
Aside from being fed, a few rubs on the nose, "Hello's" in the morning and bringing them inside at night, the poor beasts haven't been doing much "work".

So they were quite excited to go for some mid-week exercise.
They enjoy it.
Honest.


Many people think that horses don't enjoy pulling wagons/sleighs etc, but, now that I am an equine expert, I am absotootly sure that that isn't true.
At least when it comes to Ike and Duke.
They love it.
I think they love it because they get so much attention.
From us.
The kids.
The neighbours.
The cars driving by.
The kids playing outside of their homes.
The dogs sitting outside their homes.


I mean, really.
Not everyone gets to see such beautiful {happy} creatures trotting by through their neighbourhood.


Especially when there are cats and a German Shepherd dog along for the ride.


My life is a freak show.

Found!

Guys, I found them!



After 6 weeks, the hidden kittens have appeared.

They have been hiding away in the loft/roof of our barn, tucked down in the soffit.
I don't know what a soffit is, but that's what hubby called it so I am taking his word.
Whatever.

I lured them out with the smell of gross, disgusting, fishy-smelling canned food....
...and my kitty cat sounds.

I am totally positive it was my kitty sounds that convinced them to appear from the depths of wherever they were, and not the food.

As you can see, I think they hated the food.

A few things I should mention
Blackie, their mommy has been missing for many days.
I have only seen three of the five kittens.
They are extremely mean and nasty to humans.
Hubby wants me to keep them mean and nasty so they don't invade our home with the other little buggers.
I want them to be nice so we can give them away to little trick or treaters.
I mean, seriously....
kids would love to be handed a kitten instead of candy, right?
