Black Dog Ranch - Mia and the Gang

Hi Everyone, it's me Mia. Mickey and I are smiling for Ms. Charlene while she takes our picture here. Mickey always goes overboard though, he thinks he is soooo cute! Good grief, boys are so silly. Well it has been a busy week here at the ranch. The weather has been staying cool so Ms. Charlene has been doing a lot of work around the farm. She painted the board fence down by the gate this week while we all kept an eye on the place. Ms. Charlene told us all how lucky she was to have such good watch dogs at the ranch, but the truth is we really don't do to much work around here. Most of the time we just eat, sleep, and play. The horses have been running and playing a lot more lately because the evenings are getting cooler. We like to chase them from inside our fence. Ms. Charlene won't let us go out in the pasture because we might get kicked by one of the horses so we just chase after them inside the safety of our fence. Ms. Charlene's Book Signing this past week-end at the Oasis Bookstore went well and she is looking forward to going to more schools this fall and telling all those great kids about us here at the ranch. Be sure and check out our comments page for future dates of up coming events. Well I better go for now. Talk more soon, Mia

Black Dog Rescue Ranch - Mia and the Gang

Hi everyone, it's me Mia.

Well another week has gone by here at the ranch and we are all doing great. It has been beautiful weather so we have been spending a lot of time in the yard rolling around in the cool grass.

Ms. Charlene took some funny pictures of the horses this week and she wanted me to share them with you. As you all know Precious is Ms. Charlene's special horse, but she cannot be out in the pasture in the summer because she eats too much grass and it is not good for her feet! I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I know Ms. Charlene always does what is best for all of us here at the ranch. Anyway, one of the other horses, "Pockets" likes to visit with Precious up at the barn and this week Ms. Charlene took these pictures of that visit. Here Pockets is stopping by to say hello to Precious. Afterwards Precious came over to the gate and told Ms. Charlene that she thought Pockets had been eating "stink weeds" and maybe Ms. Charlene should give Pockets some of those mint flavored horse treats! We all thought this face Precious was making was sooooo funny and Ms. Charlene did too!

There is always something funny going on here at the ranch and Ms. Charlene says we all have a lot to be thankful for around here. She says laughter is good medicine for lots of things so remember to laugh at the funny things in life!

Well I better go for now, don't forget to order a copy of my book, "Stories from Black Dog Ranch" from the barnesandnoble.com website or my website blackdogrescueranch.com

Black Dog Rescue Ranch - Mia & the Gang

Hi everyone. It's me Mia.

Well it has been another great week here at the ranch and Molly and I have been sitting here on the picnic table today watching Ms. Charlene go in and out of the gate in her truck. She is hauling more hay up to the barn for the horses.

We wanted to help, but really we wanted to chase the horses so Ms. Charlene made us stay at the house while she unloaded the hay.

We played in the yard while Ms. Charlene did all the work. She said she didn't mind because she loves to see us playing and having a good time. Ms. Charlene says when we are happy she is happy.

We know the horses feel pretty lucky to have Ms. Charlene because everytime she is outside they run up to the fence to say hello.

Ms. Charlene says it is that time of year again when all the great kids are back in school and she is going to be visiting again this fall and sharing stories about our book and the ranch. Be sure and check our schedule on the comments page and remember if your school would like to schedule a visit with Ms. Charlene you can contact her through our contact page on our website; www.blackdogrescueranch.com because Ms. Charlene says that school visits are her favorite thing to do! She loves talking to all those wonderful kids about my book and all of us back here at the ranch!!! Well I better go for now.

Talk more soon,

Mia

Hi everyone. It's me Mia.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get this new post on here, but Ms. Charlene has been mighty busy around the ranch and since last week-end was a holiday she went camping and trail riding with some friends and family members. Here is a picture of them having a great time.

If you look really close you can see Chance trying to get into Ms. Charlene's saddle bags to find a treat! Ms. Charlene says Chance is such a smart horse he deserves some extra treats!

We all stayed back at the ranch while Ms. Charlene went on her trip, but she loves us soooo much that she came all the way back home in the middle of the week-end just to check on us and make sure everyone was O.K.

We got some extra treats too when Ms. Charlene got back from her camping trip. We all really missed Ms. Charlene, but I guess sometimes she needs to have some fun too because she does spend a lot of time working to make it nice for all of us!

Talk more soon,

Mia
