Today Mum took me for a walk with Emit again to the cotton fields and let me off the leash. I ran around and I happened to come across a gopher head that had magots all over it. So my labrador instinct got the better of me and I picked it up and brought it over to my owner. I spited it out and I made a face that meant:" Holy Cow! That thing tasts like my own poop! Ewww discusting!!!!" Mum looked at the gopher head closey to see if anything could cause a big problem with me. Once she was done we contniued with are walk. Sadly EMit had to go home early so Mum took me home and guess what.............and gave me a good toothbrushin'!! Mum gathered up two toothbrushes( one is battery powered) and two toothpastes. She took me out to the pool area and tied me up. I knew what was going to happen. Mum grabed the battery powered toothbrush and loaded it with toothpaste and grabed my mouth and turned it on and started to brush my teeth. We contuited with that for 15 minutes. Luckly my Mum's mum came out and said try some Listeren on her. Just a little bit though. So Mum got a wash cloth and pour a lot of Listeren on it and scrubbed my mouth. She did that 3 times then got the hose and reised my mouth out. "She has the cleanest teeth in the world right now" said my Mum. And it was true. I hate that toothbrush and darn my labrador instinct!!!
Barbaro won the hearts of millions. From the Kentucky Derby to Belmont Race, and the Preakness he was amazing. He was bred to be a champion. He was born to run. Everyone said he would be one of the greatest racehorse's of all time. Everyone loved him dearly. Everyone sadi he would win the Triple Crown like the fable Secretariat. Then at the Preakness, one sickening, heartstoping moment, everything changed. Suddenly he was no longer racing for glory; he was fighting for his life. And the horse bred to be a champion became much much more. He became a symbol of hope and courage for an entire nation. People came with cards, letters, treats, signs, etc just for Barbaro. When Barbaro was a little colt he loved to run with his best pal, Last Best Place. They would run, buck and kick to see who was the fastest. Barbaro always won. He flew over the ground, with such great speed. He was born to run, he was as fast as the wind. You are a leagen that will live on Barbaro. I miss you dearly. I watched you grow up, to become big and strong. Then that one day, that horriable day, you broke your back hoof. Despite the pain you wanted to run. Your soul was calling to you to run. Run, run and win Barbaro. But your jockey stoped you. You called out, the pain steaming like crazy. I looked into your eyes and I saw the sweetest brown eyes. Wish I could see you one more time. To spend one more day with you. To run over the fields, to fly. You became big and strong, seeing you run and doing what you love it what mattered. I miss you so much Barbaro. I love you, I knew you like you were my horse. That day when you got hurt, I felt hurt too. And I can still feel the pain......... You became America's favirote horse, and you are remember forever.
Today was alot of fun!!! My Mum's best friend, Natalie, called and asked to see if my Mum wanted to take the dogs for a walk. She said yes. She grabed my leash( I was going crazy like a mad dog!) and her phone and ran out the door with me.
We reached the horse trail and waited for Natalie. And of couse she brought my best pal, Emit!!! It was a cloud of dust when me and Emit met, we licked each other and started to bark and wine. We went for a VERY long walk!!! Went went all the way around the whole neighborhood!!! We walked about 10 or 15 miles! Mum thoght it would be a good idea to take the dogs out to the cotton fields so we did. My Mum stop and looked at this black figure in the cotton.My Mum said" I think its a dog but I'm not sure." Natalie looked also. I stoped and looked at the black figure and I had my ears up in intersest. Natalie said " Hold Emit. I'm going to go see what it is." I said" OK." Natalie walked slowy toward this figure.
Its head shot up and looked at us. Natalie ran back and said" Yeah its a dog." But this huge dog didn't move. It looked at us with great intersest but we walked slowy away. It watched us disapper. I looked back but then Mum called me. That was weird though. Later we went to Emit's house to get a well deservied drink of cold water. After that we headed back out again. I did relize that Emit was protective of me.................When ever we got near a crazy or mean dog he got to the side of me that the mean or crazy dog was at. Well it was a great day so far and later I get to go fishing!!!
