I guess I should explain about my horse to allay any fears on behalf of my ferret.I thought it would take up to much space last time,so I didn't include it.I've had this horse for 20 years,since she was 7,that makes her 27(for the math impaired).That in itself has slowed her down considerably, and combined with arthritis,she don't consider much worth moving for,except food. This is also the horse that did a ballet dance to avoid stepping on a batch of baby bunnies we flushed a few years back.She's had at one time or another bunnies,cats or dogs visiting or living with her.She shared her dinner with a bunny,who stayed a year(free food),and never once stepped on him or her.I even saw her sharing food with said bunny while cat friend watched,got it on tape.Guess the cat and bunny worked out a peace accord.I have seen her literally standing over a group of baby bunnies that lived in a multi horse pasture to keep other horses away.She's had animals standing up on her legs to say hello,and she looks at them and stands still till they move.She's not paralyzed,as she looks down and sticks her nose down to sniff. This is a horse whose idea of fun is to sneak up on the cat and whoof her fur.Sends the cat straight up in the air and I swear the horse is chuckling. Of course,it's hilarious to watch a 1200 lb horse try to sneak up on anything.(3.5 on the scale)So please don't worry about Jasmine.She only visited once,on the ground,and the horse just snuffled her fur.I have other reasons not to let Jazz visit the horse outside,mainly strange dogs.Nobody knows what leashes are here.She lives by herself now,so enjoys the occasional visit from other animals. Hey Bob,kinky shoe sex.Your boys saying'let me hob it.'?Tell them not to make a hobit of it.To hob or hob not.Arrgh,I quit.
