Don't laugh!


While visiting with Baby Doll last night, I took off my straw hat and let her sniff it. She wasn't bothered by it at all, so I tossed it up on her head. The first time she backed up a bit for a closer look, but by the second and third time, she was bending her head down so I cold put the hat up there easier. Funny girl! I think she really likes wearing hats.
Anyone know where I can find some made just for horse heads with the ear holes?
Only problem is that if she's wearing a hat while I'm riding her, it will be tough to stay in the saddle with my hysterical laughing.
(You can see in this photo, that she seemed a little peeved that I was laughing at her, too. She thought she looked pretty. hehe)

Hey, neighbor! Linda here from the 7MSN. Glad you found my blog. I just finished hitting the publish button on the comments you've been leaving this afternoon. Can't wait to peruse your archives and catch up on what's been happening in the old 'hood. Before I moved down here in Oct. 2005, I lived just north of the intersection of Frost and 217.

Of course you can put a link to my blog on your blog. I'll try to answer your other questions sometime soon.

A while back, there was this TV show about an animal psychic. Someone called her to their farm because their llama seemed to be upset about something. The psychic said that the llama asked to wear her scarf, so she wrapped the scarf around the llama's neck and added a hat for good measure. She said that the llama was upset because it wanted to wear clothes like people do. I remember laughing hysterically throughout that entire episode. No one could disprove what the psychic was saying, because that llama looked so proud of itself once it was dressed.

LOL ... You know, I bet that hat looks awesome on you, but on a horse it just looks kind of petite and dainty. It looks like she's on her way to a tea party in the rose garden.

That is just so cute! What a good girl she is for wearing that hat (so stylishly, might I add!) ;)

Cute Picture:) Baby Doll thinks it's your turn to put a bonnet or something on so she can return the favor of the laugh;) Kidding!

I agree with her. She's a pretty girl! ;)

HA ha ha ha... how could you not laugh at a picture like that? She looks absolutely darling! you need to knit her a comfy warm fuzzy hat for the winter and a cute little sun visor for the summer! that would be hilarious...

Hee hee, she looks like quite the proper lady!

Oh my, she is totally digging the hat, isn't she. I love that she bent down her head for you to put it on. She even has her head tilted at that jaunty angle..that's one stylin' horse!

Haha, she looks awesome! That's so cool! I'm pretty sure my Daisy wouldn't tolerate a hat! Love how it seems to fit so well between her ears! LOL

Egghead said...

Ha ha! This reminds me of Mr. Ed. Do you remember? Funny!

Christy said...

She is very cute in her hat. My sister's dog loves to wear T shirts. I think some animals do enjoy wearing clothes.

Thanks Linda! I'm so happy to have found your blog just by reading the comments on another one of my favorite blogs. What a small world!

You used to live only about 6-8 miles north of us. We are south NM 217, south of I-40/Rt 66. We seem to know a few of the same people, too! I look forward to meeting you in person one day soon. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I am enjoying yours!

Nuzzling Muzzles! Yes, yes, yes! I remember watching that episode, too! And that whas before we even had llamas. hahaha
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Meg, I think Baby Doll would love to attend a tea party, as long as their were alfalfa bisquits, apple turnovers, carrot muffins, and chamomile tea. My girl LOVES to eat! hehe

Thanks Pony Girl! Yes, she is a very good girl. She's pretty willing to do most anything. But she really does love wearing hats!

Sea2Shore, hehe. You might not believe me, but when I wear a hat, she looks at me with a sort of envious look and often nuzzles my hat like she wants to take it off and nibble it.
She really does like to wear hats.

Thanks FarmMom!!!

Hi Seagrass! Yes! What a terrific idea...if I could only knit. I will try, though. I know Baby Doll would LOVE it! And I love how you called me horse 'darling'. I think so,too! hehe

Sugar Creek Farm, Doesn't she, though! hehe

How funny that you noticed how she was posed with that hat, Farm Girl Dk. She typically doesn't seem to like me taking pictures of her, but with that hat on her head, she turns into a cover model! hehe

Hi Mell! I SOOOO want to see you post a picture of Daisy wearing a hat now!! Do it!!
Yes, I agree it's neat how the hat seems to fit up there pretty nicely.

HAHAAHA, Egghead! I had forgotten about Mr Ed! Yes, she does resemble him! Maybe they are related. I can just imagine what she'd say and how she'd say it if she could talk, too!

Christy, I think you're right! And hey! Thanks for stopping by.
