How to be Happy

Pachyderms are OK.

We can take a lesson From Tara.
Friendships are everything.



I always wanted a friend elephant.
To cuddle and hug and pat.

For now, a horse will have to do.
Allan put's up with me.
Next time I promise not to kick him.
He's a professional champion reining horse...

The ears going back register his irritation.
Kicking a reining horse is not necessary.
Just nudge him with your heels, no spurs, no kicks.

I hope he'll give me another chance.
I know he will, but I'd better prove myself if I want his respect.

He certainly has mine!

me, too...
I must say that golden copper silky winter horse fur is probably more touchable than dry crinkly stubbly elephant skin, but looking into elephant eys would be the BEST!

But deep dark sienna horse eyes are pretty deep, it'll have to do for now.
