Hi! My name is Zeus, and I live at Pegasus Farms in Enumclaw, Washington. My owner Gina asked me to write about my first trip to visit the local retirement center and I said I'd try. I don't know how good I'll be 'cause after all, I'm just a baby, but I'll do my best. Gina says I'm a real trooper 'cause I try real hard. I guess that's just 'cause I've had so many awful things happen to me in my little life. Anyway, Gina told me this
morning that I was gonna go visit those nice old folks that came
to visit me when I was sick with my colic surgery. I was really
scared when she said that 'cause I'm sure afraid of strangers
sometimes. I kinda worry that they might be going to poke me
with needles or something, and that really hurts. I said OK though
so Gina brushed me (that felt good) and put down my special carpet
in the back of the Blazer (in case I have an accident) and then
she picked me up and put me in. I don't know how she can
do that 'cause I'm really BIG! I am 20" tall and I weigh
60 lbs. No-one else in the foal pasture thinks I'm big, but I'm
older than them, they're just babies and I'm six months old. Then we visited all the folks in the dining room and it was like a game. I could walk under all those things they call tables and everyone laughed and clapped for me. After that we visited a really nice man in his room. They said I was a special visitor for him and he was really surprised to see such a little horse. I'm not little though, I'm really very BIG. I know I am!!Everyone said I was so good and I guess I was, except I started to think I needed to go potty again so I headed for that big door I could see through. No-one opened it for me and I guess they didn't understand, so I kinda held it and walked back and forth until they let me out. Boy, I sure didn't want to make a mistake in that nice barn. Everyone thanked me for coming and I was really glad that I did. They all smiled a lot at me and talked to me and petted me and the nice director lady said I was a very important visitor and made all the folks laugh. Gina thinks I'm really special and so does my Doctor Bob, but me, I just think I'm big |
