On Saturday Harmony the horse arrived to join us. She belongs to our niece, Morgan. Harmony is going to live in our barn until Morgan goes to college. Mom and Dad are really excited because Morgan is a great kid and they like riding with her. Harmony is supposed to be a very nice horse but we only met her for five minutes when she arrived so we are a little wary.

That evening Mom and Dad went to clean stalls so they could bring the pony and Harmony in. Dash and I watched from the sunroom windows. Dad finished his work first and returned to the house. He went to wash up when suddenly he all through the house he heard such a clatter, he began to wonder just what what was the matter. In ran Dash, leash in his mouth quickly followed by me. Our message was clear, there was something to see. Tails a awaggin and heads a bobbin, it was clear that something was up! Dad hurried to the door just in time to see…Mom calmly leading Harmony across the pasture to the barn.

Dash and I were sure that Mom should not be out there alone with a stranger, even if it is a well behaved female horse! LOL! Dad calmed us down and we watched her bring the pony to the barn. But we had seen that before. We sure were happy to see her when she came in the back door. How she giggled when Dad told her the story! Then she said, “You do communicate as well as humans,” and patted our heads. We do live in “harmony”.
