Winter yummies...

Camryn here:
As any true Haflinger must, I enjoy my food immensly.  Winter food around here is the best (cepting summer grass of course).  When the weather turns nippy to humans Mom begins adding alfalfa pellets to my daily lunch routine.  It goes like this, Mom comes down from the house and gives me a flake of hay. 

Course since I finished my breakfast a few hours ago I be totally starved.  I dig in heartily, I'm not shy about my food for sure. 
Next, Mom cleans my room as I stave off imminent starvation...

Next her gives me a luscious pound of Alfalfa pellets.  Oooooooh, heaven!!!  Mom cleans the paddock & fills my water while I clean my bowl.  Yep, I lick it good and clean...

Mom brings my Alfalfa stuff down in an empty coffee container.  Lucky me, today she left it sitting in the barn aisle.  I came in to cleanse my palate with water and discovered it right away.  Didn't take no effort at all to pop the lid off.  A bit more difficult though to try to tip it like people do water bottles to check if any food is left, the smell is still in it...

Couldn't quite get it tipped enough.  Mmmmm, maybe if I roll it???...

Rolling didn't net much in results.  Ahhhh, got it tipped over now, that should do it right?...

Pick it up thinking of course by now the container that smells so good has magicaly refilled & I've emptied the new contents on the ground.   NO ALFALFA, my masterly plan didn't work!!!  What's up with that, Mom why are you laughing so hard?  What do you mean I can't have no more till tomorrow?  I finally gave up when I noticed my hay net all poofy and full of hay.  So, I guess I can wait till lunch tomorrow for more Alfalfa <SIGH>

Special free offering...

Camryn here:
Just in case your lacking, I thought I'd offer up free something we have an abundance of.  That's just the kind of gurl I am, sharing and all. 

Anyway, we gots mud here and lots of it, just come get however much you're wanting. It's perfectly aged since we've had record rainfalls this year.  This is only part of my paddock area there is more in the pasture. Pasture mud is even better as it's been saturating under water for so long.  You can even just come for a roll if you don't have a truck for hauling!...

No need to be timid about it, I'll even help load it up if you'd like...

Onyx says he'll help too.  Being kind of lacking in the leg department, he's literaly knee deep!!!  Amazing how clean we both are considering don't you think?

Practice makes perfect...

Camryn here:

Remember me mentioning learning how to play basketball?  Which means picking up a ball and putting it in a muck bucket basket.  Anyhow Mom n me have been practicing and we're getting pretty good at it.  Though I must mention Mom needs some work on her video skills, course making video AND clicking, tossing ball, fixing basket would be difficult even with having thumbs I should give her credit for being able to do it period right?  Once though I made it easier for her and fixed the bucket after having knocked it over all by myself.  Anyhow, here is the video we made:

Did ya notice I didn't even miss a single shot!!!  Awesome right?  Mom thinks I might be able to go with the NBA eventually.  The Cleveland Caveliers could certainly use my help!!!  This is the first time I made my shot from any distance.  Before this I was inconsistant even for close shots.  We'll keep working on my game and hopefully I'll be making shots even better than that Lebron dude someday. 

Oh, paleese ignore Mom's constant chatter, she does go on and on somtimes!

Hey, I gots an idea if all my friends pass the link on to their friends maybe I'll get famous and be a YouTube diva???  That's be way cool, then they could throw candy canes to me & I'd share them with all my horse friends even?

Dog tired...

Camryn here:
Judging by the way Ivy fell asleep you'd think she'd been working hard or something...

Good thing no one here is a prankster (at least to animals). A slight pull on the ottoman and Ivy woulda crashed for sure.  A hard life these dogs live around here.  Here her is closer up, don't ya just love her adorable stubby legs

You can biggify for full effect.  Mom says there be a painting coming for this one perhaps.

For Grandma...

Camryn here:
Mom's been busy with some Christmas projects.  One is all done finally, it's for her Mom from the Grandkids.  Grandma doesn't have a picture of all of them together.  Not that they don't get together but, when they do their all in motion!!!
So for Grandma, Mom managed to get the kids all together for a picture taking session.  Then her took the best one (no bunny ears) and did a drawing of them.  Mom's quite happy with how it turned out, specially since her shy's away from doing human portraits...

Mom's kidders are the middle three.  I think Grandma is gonna get all teary eyed when she opens it don't you ?
