To my very dear friends, and loyal readers, who have been following the antics and aggravations of my finally being able to actually own a little, 43" high, chocolate Shetlandpony, whose name--at least--has been more or less settled upon, "Charlie Brown", is--perhaps--a slower amd more involved process that I had ever imagined, never having before ever owned an horse in my life.
First....the 'mysterios lady' who owned them was finally successfully contacted. As both of the Shetlands cost $500.00 ( Cydi, my nurse wants the little female, while I want the cute, chocolate gelding ), this 'person; will accept, as payment, $100.00 a month, but at the $250.00 mark, a piece ( which math I still cannot figure out ), said she would give both the ponies to Cyndi, who will then keep them on her farm; copies of 'papers' will be sent, until the balance is paid off, which by my reckoning, will take until about January of 2012.
In exchange for stall, feed, vitamins, and vet care, Cyndi will be ableto train both ponies to pull carts, and give chidren rides upon. And, perhaps 'show'.
And, since I will be sole owner of 'Charlie Brown', I will have to be first introduce to, and then become invvolved with pedegrees, bloodlines, papers, and official registration, during which I will have to come up with an appropriate name to horse, 'Officialdom'. "Charlie Brown" will just be its stable name.
And so, since overall money is short, I was questioned not once, not twice, but thrice about whether I really wanted to ' go through with it '. And, although I am on SSDI, and will have to do some necessary belt-tightening, every 'YES !!!' I uttered only made me more convinvced that I really and truly DO want this little chocolate pony, about whom I was told, that it has 'the disposition of an angel'. I imagine that having had it gelded has a lot to do with its disposition ( Hell...even I get 'shooting' pains 'down there', just thinking about it. Yikes !).
I find that about every other day or so, I think about 'Charlie Brown', and of how very much I want to go see it, feed it treats, pet it, talk to it, getting to know it, and....maybe go on a little cart ride once in a while.
It did finally dawn on me, so much did it make me laugh, that at 58, I will have every, little girl's dream come true ! LOL. A pony of my own. It'llbe my little holiday gift to myself ! With no need for wrapping paper, although,I might ask Cyndi to at least tie a little bow in its mane for me.
And...just how wonderful is that, my dear friends, and readers ?
Love to all, whether 'two-footed', or 'four footed' !!!
