Meet Pearl, New Horse

[CrealCritter]

Just goes to show that trust, is built by consistency, over a period of time.

As trust is built and earned by consistency, it can also be broken by a single hurtful act.

Since I groom dogs for a living that is very true. I cant begin to tell you how many dogs Ive encountered where they have had a bad experience from another groomer, or they are just plain scared. Some dogs have taken me years to gain thier trust, and I'll be darned if I would do something to blow it after all that effort.
I can always tell, too, if a groom goes somewhere else for a while because they cant get in with me for whatever reason, if the dog was well treated or not. Dogs dont lie.

We had our granddaughters for the weekend. Pearl got some love from the youngest.

Then she took the two little girls for a ride. We went to the corner and back, about a mile. Pearl was a champion, she knew she had precious cargo aboard.

The ring tailed tooter (youngest) wanted to go fast. She asked if next time, would I get a faster horse.

Turns out that Pearl's affection for me didn't last long. She was in heat and sized me up as a possible Baby Daddy. Poor girl, she backed up to me, wringing her tail. I don't know what made her decide that I was a handsome hunk of a stallion. I had to break the news to her that THAT wasn't going to happen! As soon as she was out of heat, I was an annoyance again, who happens to bring her feed.

Only the coolest G-Ma ever!
