Rick Roll'd?


Surely, if you've spent enough time on these interwebs, you've been Rick Roll'd. It doesn't have to be a humiliating experience, friends. No—I, Fenway Bartholomule, have invented a way for you to keep your dignity and your Muleness when you're plunged into the corridors of '80s pop. 

Next time you're Rick Roll'd, simply sing along using these handy alternative lyrics. May the Muleness be with you!

"We're no strangers to love,
You feed me hay, I give you rides . . . 
A lovely ear rub's what I'm thinking of, 
And don't you give this to any other guy! 

I just wanna bray 'bout how I'm feeling,
Gotta make you understand! 

Always gonna eat that hay,
Wanna see you throw it down,
Gonna eat it, every bite, gonna want dessert, too.
Never gonna get it wet, 
Never gonna waste it, no,
Cause I know it keeps me plump, and cute too . . . 

We've known each other for so long, 
You're hay's abundant
And you're itching to share it. 
Inside the feedroom, there's so much to eat,
I know it's tasty, so bring it! 

And if you ask me if I'm too full
Don't tell me you're too blind to see . . . 

Always gonna eat that hay,
Wanna see you throw it down,
Gonna eat it, every bite, gonna want dessert, too.
Never gonna get it wet, 
Never gonna waste it, no,
Cause I know it keeps me plump, and cute too . . . 

Always gonna eat that hay,
Wanna see you throw it down,
Gonna eat it, every bite, gonna want dessert, too.
Never gonna get it wet, 
Never gonna waste it, no,
Cause I know it keeps me plump, and cute too . . . 

Eat that hay. Eat that hay.
Eat that hay. Eat that hay.
Always gonna eat, 
Always gonna eat, eat that hay.
Always gonna eat,
Always gonna eat, eat that hay.

You've fed me daily for so long, 
Show up like clockwork, 
And you know I like it, 
I take you riding, cause we both know,
There's nothing I won't do for more hay! 

I just wanna bray 'bout how I'm feeling,
Gotta make you understand! 

Always gonna eat that hay,
Wanna see you throw it down,
Gonna eat it, every bite, gonna want dessert, too.
Never gonna get it wet, 
Never gonna waste it, no,
Cause I know it keeps me plump, and cute too . . . 

Always gonna eat that hay,
Wanna see you throw it down,
Gonna eat it, every bite, gonna want dessert, too.
Never gonna get it wet, 
Never gonna waste it, no,
Cause I know it keeps me plump, and cute too . . . 

Always gonna eat that hay,
Wanna see you throw it down,
Gonna eat it, every bite, gonna want dessert, too.
Never gonna get it wet, 
Never gonna waste it, no,
Cause I know it keeps me plump, and cute too . . .

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

That Which Was Foretold Has Come To Pass

  After some negotiation and exchange of words like "motheaten" and "raggedy", Farmwife talked me into enduring the roaching of my mane, which I had rubbed on the fence while reaching for delectable edibles at my previous home. We both agreed on four things: 1)  it was essential to retain my forelock, which is a thing of splendor that adds greatly to my dashing good looks. I'll get a picture for you tomorrow. 2) once the cut has grown out a bit, she will give me those fancy castle turrets that she used to style for Fenway.  3) we owe our dear readers a better photo, when I have not just rolled in the mud.  4) there is no hairstyle capable of making me look anything but marvelous. 

The Scoop on Bird

 Human here, to give you the scoop on Songbird. He is shiny, sweet, and wonderful . . . and a little bit broken hearted. (Fenway was once, too.) As I've gotten to know him more over the last month, I've come to understand that he associates humans with unpleasantness, at least, and suffering, at worst. He has some gnarly scars. He flinches away from touch, though he warms up quickly when treats are involved. He's quite a foodie. He's easily startled. He's alert, and vigilant. He doesn't always feel safe. He also really likes it at my mom's house, which has a slower pace than the wonderful boarding and lesson barn where he lived in June. He appreciates the predictable routine, the long quiet afternoons, and the retired horses who give him company. He has flattened the grass under the big cedar out back and created nests to rest in. The soft footing at my mom's is better for his newly bare feet. He is starting to believe he'll be ok.  I have ridden him...
