Playing with the "Big Dogs"

My Gramps and Uncle John have several "Big Dogs". Some people call them horses. Most of the time they live up in the fields at Uncle John's house, but when they eat down those fields too much, we get to bring them up to our fields! Yesterday, they were moved up here. My parents wondered if I had really seem them up close and personal, because last summer I was still pretty small. So Gramps and Dad took me up to introduce me to Sonny (the one with the bald face), Midnight (obviously the black one) and Thunder (the paint).

At first I was pretty hesitant of them. They sure a lot bigger than any dog I know!! Dad was tickling Sonny's nose, so he was just a few inches it seemed from me. And gosh, I swear that animals head was bigger than my entire body!!! Since Sonny has a bald face (which means it's solid white fur from at least between eye to eye or more) one of his eyes is white. I kept looking at his one white eye... It reminded me of the scene in Lost in the first season when Locke has one white eye and one dark eye. That's my Gramp's horse!
Soon I wanted Mommy to hold me, but she can't hold me very long anymore. So she passed me off to Gramps. The horses started to eat, but I was enamored with them. I kept pointing at them and telling Gramps to "Look!"
So he called Thunder over to us. After watching the horses for some time now, I felt comfortable enough to touch one. Gramps told me it was just petting Peanut or Ophelia. So I slowly reached out my hand and touched Thunder...
And then it was on! I was ready to pet all the horses! Soon Sonny walked up and I touched his nose! I was surprised how soft horses are!
Maybe next summer I'll be big enough to ride them!!
