Zeus and his Fly Mask

 A couple of weeks ago, my owner, Gina told me that one of my friends named Chris Jolly brought me a present. I didn't know what it was, but I was real excited anyway. Gina showed it to me and said it was a fly mask to keep those darn flys off my face. I truly thought it looked awful scarey, and I figured I'd better leave while I had the chance even if it was supposed to be a nice present, so I took off running around my backyard pasture.

I'm really FAST and Gina sure was puffin by the time she caught me. She woulda never caught me except one of those darn cats got in my way and almost tripped me. Well, Gina talked real nice to me and showed me the stupid thing, but I was sure convinced it had to be the biggest BOOGIE I had ever seen. It's sorta gold color with this hairy stuff around the nose. Looked like some kinda wierd animal.........and she was gonna put that thing on me?? ..........NO WAY!

Well, I bucked a little and reared a little and I don't know how she kept hold of me, 'cause I am BIG you know, but she finally won. Well, guess what?? That thing really is kinda nice. It keeps the sun out of my eyes and also, those stupid flys can't get in. Kinda distracting tho when one of thenm is crawling around on the mask in front of my eye. You can see real good that way tho. Those flys are really WIERD looking from up close.

Only one thing I can't figure out tho...............the other horses sure ran away fast when I walked up with my new present. Can't they tell it's just Zeus???

Zeus ultimately found a "new" more acceptable way to wear his mask.
