Mia and the Black Dog Ranch Animals

Hi everyone. It's me Mia.
Well another week has gone by here at Black Dog Ranch and we are all doing fine. Ms. Charlene went to her good friends Julie & Johnny's Tack Sale at Kaylyn Stables in Desoto Missouri this past week-end. (where they sale stuff for horses). We don't understand why Ms. Charlene likes all that stuff to do with horses....
We think horses are kind of silly. Teddie says he doesn't know what the big deal is about horses anyway because they can't bury bones and he has never once seen Dixie or Gracie or Smokey or any of them catch a squirrel or a rabbit. The more Teddie and Mickey got to talking about it the more worked up they got over the whole horse thing and then I had to remind them that it's not like Ms. Charlene can put a saddle on one of them and go for a ride or anything like that....
Teddie and Mickey felt kind of silly themselves after I said that and I really think the whole thing was because Teddie wants ALL of Ms. Charlene's attention ALL of the time. We think she does a pretty good job of giving Teddie a lot of attention, but I guess you could say Teddie is a real attention hog!
Ms. Charlene said she had a good time at the Tack Sale and she even took this picture of kids getting to take pony rides during the sale. This little girl's name is Molly and all the adults made sure she was safe and didn't fall off of the pony.
Kaylyn Stables is a great place for kids this summer. They offer riding lessons and summer camp. So for all of you horses lovers out there like Ms. Charlene, give them a call at; 314-636-0545 and ask for Julie.
Well Ms. Charlene has another special Book Presentation coming up this next week-end. She is looking forward to meeting all of the kids and parents from the Goddard School in Edwardsville, Illinois. She will be presenting my Book, "Stories from Black Dog Ranch" and telling eveyone about me and the rest of us here at the ranch. So If you are in the area be sure to stop by and check it out.
Well I better go for now.
Talk more soon,
Mia

Hi Mackenzie, well even though us dogs think those horses are kind of silly, they are still part of our family so I guess it's ok that you like them...Ms. Charlene sure does!
Thanks,
Mia
