Playin ball...

Camryn here:
Yesterday while Mom was cleaning my room I got bored eating an wanted to play.  Mom knows when I wanna play cause I start putzing around rearranging anything within reach (wheelbarrow, muck bucket, muck rake, brushes...), & following her around with a "Mo-om aren't you done cleaning yet.  Can't we play NOW" look on my face. 
Soooo, Mom quit cleaning for a bit so we could play.
I gotted a new ball from that Santa guy.  It's easy to pick up, kinda squishy, sometimes not so easy to put down though.  Mom go my new ball for me, AND my basket ball hoop too.  Her set it out in the snow, I was so happy "let the games begin" I say...
Mom tossed the ball for me to get...

See what I mean about being easy to pick up and hold.  I'll now transport my ball to it's intended destination...

Me n my ball arrive at the same time to my hoop (some balls tend to leave lips unintentionaly).  You're peeps can find hoops such as this discarded at front of neighbors driveways.  Normally there will be a large full plastic resepticle nearby. It's not stealing so long as it's at end of drive & next to such large full plastic resepticles you know...
Now I just gotta figure out just how to move the ball from my mouth and into the net part.  I know how but, #1 it's kinda hard to drop period. #2, well you'll see...
#2 I'm used to my smaller ball where I don't have to lift it quite as much.  Must use physics to figure this part out.  But, being a Hafy Gurl you know I will right!  Now #3 problem...

Oops still working on #2 problem here I guess.  Now #3...

Now you see my #3 problem.  The backboard vs my noggin.  I once again had to figure out how to accomplish my task (getting a treat).  As you can see I figured out how (I'm a Hafy & a mare so of course I did) much applause and treats from Mom.
Mom did try to do a video but, not being a Hafy she couldn't quite coordinate this.  I'll have to teach her how.  There are many pictures absent as while figuring out the equation of the backboard vs noggin, I did knock the entire hoop contraption over having to start over much more than once.  I persiveared and WON!!!
Mom is gonna ask Dad iffen he can remove the backboard part, so I don't gotta literaly use my head quite so often.  It is quite a fun game to play and keeps me from being to terribly bored.
Later...

  1. Camryn! You are so awesome! Now I really need to get my butt in gear and teach Shy basketball! You guys could play one-on-one! You and Shy must be the two smartest Haflinger mares I know!

  3. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. You are right... you would have enjoyed the post. It was the best post I've ever written. It was witty. It was charming. It was the funniest thing. It was very intellectual. Yeah... it was everything!
    Oh well.... I guess I go on a bit too much. It was just a post. It can be done again! I suppose!
