Stories From Black Dog Ranch: Mia and the Gang

Hi Everyone. It's me Mia.

Well it has been a busy week here at the ranch. We have a new horse and her name is Pockets.

I don't know why her owners named her that. We think Pockets is a really funny name. Me and my brothers and sisters have given her a good looking over and still cannot see anything that looks like a pocket on her. Ms. Charlene said it's not really important how we get our names, but what is important is that Pockets' family decided to bring her to the Black Dog Ranch because she wasn't getting enough grass where she lives. Ms. Charlene said Pockets will stay here from a few months and after she has gain some weight (like Cheif and Chance) she can go back to her own farm. Ms. Charlene said that is what it is all about anyway. Lending a helping hand to those in need. (Oh, the farmers next door moved the new colt so Ms. Charlene didn't get a picture of him).

Ms. Charlene says that we are a fine example of showing one another love and kindness. Just like Teddie and Molly in this picture. She also says if Everyone were more grateful for our blessings the world would be a better place!

This picture is the view from our front porch most every evening here at Black Dog Ranch. Amazing isn't it???

Well I guess I better go for now. Talk more soon.
