15/52 "Hide and Peek"

No cheating, Simon. You finish counting to a hundred, buddy. ;)

Share the ball, bro?

We had a guest over for a bit; Dayl's pretty tomboy girl Candy. She was just visiting to hang out and get some social experiences, since my work's pretty good for that. Simon was sort of smitten with her for the first day or so -- and then she took all of his toys and that sort of blew the whole deal for him. He stopped being smarmy and just wanted his toys back.
Caleb in the pasture...

Caleb, Simon and Candy -- we found a use for the arena besides riding the horses, haha! Run Candy, Ruuuuuuunnnnn!

Arena workout!

(Warning, pic heavy!)

Yup, I should have been really working the fatty ponies. But instead, I figured since I had the morning off, ended up going up to the barn to turn out the crew, and had the camera... the Cardi Boys could tag along with me.

Since there were no working horses in the arena (lazy bums that they are...) It became an awesome Corgi playground for lucky little puppies who thought that was the coolest thing ever. It was like a giant sandbox, I guess.

Simon, of course, was the first one to realize just how cool it could be!



Yeah, I think I should set up the barrels now. Turn and burn, puppy! I have to say, that's an impressive amount of dust for short little legs.



Velocity Corgi!



Then Caleb figured it all out and thought - anything he can do, I do better!


Of course, then you chase your big brother around the mounting block a few times, and bite him every chance you get.


Wait, you're telling us to go back in the car? I'm noooot done playing, nooooo! Balk, balk! (It never works, but you'd think it did, according to him.)


Crud, you and Simon are really leaving? Wait up, wait up, wait up, you guys!

Junglecardi

Out at the barn today. No one can see the mighty predator!

Not A Corgi!

However, my dear mare is as obnoxious as one at times. Blondie puts anything in her mouth she can reach; and carries it right out of the barn. I've caught her running off with my gloves, my helmet, my crop, her bridle, rakes -- you name it, if she can steal it when my back is turned, it's gone. She hordes these little things in her haybucket and her stall; honestly, I'm just glad she can't dig holes, or I'm sure she would be burying anything she can reach for later!

... she does like Caleb, though. Caleb has no fear of her either, so she's all excited that the puppy will actually sit (both pets supervised) to be sniffed and nuzzled. Caleb just likes tasting her nose. She's always loved dogs, so she's had her feelings hurt a few times that none of mine want to go and visit her. Instead, they hide in the Volvo with big wide eyes as she pokes her nose into the window. ;)

Drivin' the tractor...

Simon was helping at a friend's farm today, putting up fencing. He's all proud of himself, he can drive the tractor. At least he thinks he can!

(I wish the focus was better on this, I loved his expression.)
