Maggie- She is my horse- my VERY OWN... For those of you who know me, know that I have been on the back of a horse ever since I could sit up on my own. That being said, I never really had a horse that was mine; either they were handed down from my Mama or I shared with my dad. When I found out that she was for sale, I begged Justin for her. So, for our 3 month wedding anniversary, he got her for me. I absolutely love to ride, but for now that is all on hold. Actually, it's been on hold since July of last year, due to the miscarriage and then it being so cold. She is a very loving horse; one that will come to you without any problems and just stand around and let you rub all over her. After Greenlee is born, I can't wait to get back on Maggie. One day when Greenlee is old enough, I will pass her on to her and let her enjoy all there is about riding horses.
And now onto my real big baby... His name is Pato (Spanish for Duck). Don't ask how he got his name, it's a long story. He is a 5 year old yellow lab and thinks he is still a puppy. He was a birthday gift in 2005. At the time I got him, he was 12 weeks old and a lil' butterball. Now at 5 years old, he is still a butterball. We (me, Mama & Pato) went through obedience school and that is a time I will never forget. He absolutely l-o-v-e-s the water. He even has his own pool in the back yard that he lays around in during the summer. Don't go outside with the intentions of relaxing because as soon as you do, here he comes with his flat soccer ball wanting you to kick it so he can play fetch. This will go on for hours. I have to say that as a puppy he was a lil' spoiled; he WAS an only child until February 2008 (will get to that one later). There's not a sweeter dog around and he's so mild mannered. He knows when I'm sick or upset. During this past winter when it was so cold, Pato slept in the bed in between Justin & me~ thank goodness we have a king bed.
Here's the newest family member... His name is Munson. He's a 2 year old black lab that still acts like a puppy. We think he has a lil' bit of cat in him because all he likes to do is pounce around- kinda like a panther... All we can say is that he's a mess. Justin got him for me as a birthday/ valentine's present in February 2008~ he was 16 weeks old. When he arrived, he was big- that's all I can say. Now Munson is the exact opposite of Pato~ loud, crazy, doesn't mind... He is the black lab version of Marley (if you have ever seen Marley & Me you will know exactly what I am talking about). Pato can't play fetch with you anymore because Munson takes the ball and runs with it in the opposite direction~ that's his game. We haven't figured out if he likes the water or not because he hasn't really been around it. I do know that he doesn't get in the doggy pool in the back yard. He will stand in it or walk through it. We do know that he like so dig~ A LOT! Be careful when walking around our backyard, you just might fall into one of his "projects". But like Pato, this past cold winter, he was also in our bed with us. At times it got crowded- very crowded!
