Harry Bun-Bun

I am not the only four legged beast at Bent Barrow Farm with my own theme song. FarmWife sings to us all, as it happens, and I am not at all afraid of admitting this. FarmWife has a very big heart. There is room in there for all of us.

Here is the song that FarmWife sings to the miniature house mule, Harriet, who as you might recall is a mule of an altogether pearlike stature. She is not tall, but she is a mule of large heart and we love her.

Harry's anthem, sung to the tune of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang:

Harry Bun-Bun, pretty Harry Bun-Bun,
Harry Bun-Bun, silly Harry Bun-Bun,
Harry Bun-Bun, little Harry Bun-Bun!

Oh, you, pretty Harry bun-bun, little Harry bun-bun, we love you.
And, you, little Harry bun-bun, pretty Harry bun-bun, love us too.
Near, far, in our motor car, oh, what a lovely bun we have,
bun-bun, little Harry bun-bun, you make us very glad.

You're sweet, and you're nifty,
You hop very swiftly!
You're fine, and you're lovely and you're sleek!
You're nice and delightful,
Your chompers are frightful,
The sight of you makes a day complete!

Oh Harry bun-bun, pretty Harry bun-bun,
Harry bun-bun, sweetie Harry bun-bun!
You are little Harry bun-bun,
Pretty Harry bun-bun, precious girl,
And you, little Harry bun-bun,
Sweetie Harry bun-bun, rock our world!
You are pretty as can be,
Oh Harry can't you see it's true,
Bun-bun, little Harry bun-bun,
You know we all love you!

You're oh so destructive
Your charms are seductive
And you've got us wrapped around your paw!
You're so very darling,
So sweet and disarming,
Oh, Harry, there ought to be a law!

Good Harry, soft Harry,
With a lucky paw Harry,
Harry-bun oh we love you,
Bun-bun, silly Harry bun-bun,
There's nothing you can't do!

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
